On December 31, guests will eat “toshikoshi-soba” (noodles eaten on New Year’s Eve), and join the countdown to the New Year at the Japanese Culture Salon SAKURA. Hotel staff will escort guests to Zojoji for “hatsumode” (year’s first visit to temple) to participate in a traditional bell-ringing ceremony and observe other ceremonies. Guests at the Shiba Park Hotel are welcome to join the event by paying a JPY3,000 participation fee.

Shiba Park Hotel President Rentaro Yanase said:

“This event will focus on introducing attendees to the most prominent of Japan's many New Year traditions: “toshikoshi-soba,” “bell-ringing” and “hatsumode.” We invite you to usher in a wonderful New Year by experiencing Japan's unique New Year's cultural events firsthand.”

The Shiba Park Hotel hopes that all guests will enjoy experiencing the traditional Japanese New Year celebrations and that their experience will last as an unforgettable memory of the Shiba Park Hotel.
