See Details

This event features two main attractions: the "J-AIR Aviation Class," where participants can learn about the aviation industry in a fun way from active pilots and cabin attendants, and the "Happy Summer Festival 2026," a participatory live event with popular YouTuber "Hige Papa" as a guest. Both are special summer-only events for hotel guests. We will deliver a special experience for families to make lasting memories during their summer vacation.

In the "J-AIR Aviation Class," current airline staff will provide easy-to-understand explanations about careers in aviation, such as "A Day in the Life of a Pilot or Cabin Attendant." Following this, participants will learn how to fold and fly paper airplanes from a certified instructor of the Origami Airplane Association, followed by a mini-competition with their original paper airplanes. The content is designed for children from preschoolers to elementary school students, and parents can participate together.

Furthermore, the "Happy Summer Festival 2026" will feature a participatory live show where children can sing and dance along with the popular "Hige Papa." After the live show, there will be time for families to take commemorative photos with Hige Papa.

We invite you to experience this special summer event at our hotel, perfect for creating family memories during your outings and summer travels.
