This project aims to shed new light on the beloved "3 o'clock snack" culture, cherished across generations, and the "afternoon moments" that were an integral part of Showa life, transmitting their cultural value to the present day. At the "Top of Kushiro" restaurant, we will offer a selection of dishes that adorned Showa-era cafes, such as Neapolitan pasta, hotcakes, and pudding a la mode, providing a nostalgic yet fresh experience.

In the lobby, with the exhibition cooperation of "Natsukashikan Kura" from local Kushiro, we will display Showa retro toys, home appliances, posters, and more. Guests can enjoy an experience that touches their memories while feeling the atmosphere of life and the times of that era.

Through this project, we hope to allow guests to reflect on the good old days of Showa and create an opportunity for younger generations to experience and learn about its culture in an enjoyable way. As an initiative unique to Kushiro Prince Hotel, a hub connecting the community and its guests, we will pass on the charm of Showa culture to the next generation together with the region. Guests can take a moment to pause in their daily lives and relax.
