Hotel stay are recommended for the New Year holidays! Celebrate the New Year at a hotel in Japan.
What is the appeal of staying in a hotel during the year-end and New Year's holidays?
A stay at a hotel during the year-end and New Year's holidays is the perfect time to relax and get away from the busyness of daily life, housework, and chores. Spending time in an open space with comfortable services and a rewarding time to heal yourself after a year of hard work will refresh your body and mind, and you will be able to greet the New Year with a refreshed and fresh mind. We recommend that you enjoy a light workout in the fitness gym or pool in the hotel, spend time relaxing by the pool, or take advantage of the movie and other viewing services to enjoy yourself in the comfort of your room.
■Special Cuisine and Events
Preparing for New Year's Day can be time-consuming, but a hotel stay offers an elegant and luxurious New Year's experience. Many hotels offer special New Year's dishes and events, such as osechi (New Year's Day dishes), sumptuous dinners, countdown parties, and other special New Year's Eve experiences. If a hotel has a restaurant, you can enjoy authentic menus just by moving around the hotel.
■Sightseeing and Activities
Depending on the location of the hotel, you may be able to enjoy nearby sightseeing spots and activities, and if a shrine or temple for Hatsumode is nearby, it is a convenient base. In addition, events and activities unique to New Year's are sometimes planned, allowing you to spend a fun time with family and friends. If you stay at a nearby hotel before the countdown concert or New Year's concert, which are expected to be crowded with traffic, you will be able to get to the venue smoothly.
■Hotel stays with family and friends
Group hotel rooms allow you to spend time with family members who live far away or important friends who you do not see often. By sharing this extraordinary and special time together, bonds will be strengthened and new memories will be created in a relaxed environment. Being free from the usual household chores and being able to spend time in elegance is another attraction that only a hotel can offer.
Points to enhance your hotel stay
The year-end and New Year's holidays are particularly popular, so by making reservations early, you can secure the rooms and accommodation plans you want and may be eligible for early-bird discounts. Some hotels also offer special New Year's plans and events only available during the year-end and New Year's holidays, so it is a good idea to choose a special plan that offers an unusual experience.
■Use of Relaxation Services
One thing you will want to use in combination with your hotel stay is relaxation services such as esthetic salons, spas, and massages. This is the best way to relax and welcome the New Year. Advance reservations are recommended if you are considering using any of the facilities, including various other services.
■Check out nearby attractions
Checking out the sights and event outlines in the vicinity of your hotel in advance will give you more to look forward to during your stay. Understanding the local culture and scenery will enrich your stay.
For recommended Hatsumode spots in Tokyo and Kanagawa, please see the “Related Column Articles” at the bottom.
■Preparing for a Staycation
One way to travel is to bring your favorite books, movies, music, etc., and enjoy spending time in the comfort of your room. Relaxing in a quiet environment and thinking about your New Year's resolutions and goals is also a good way to spend time. Take advantage of the hotel's room service for a luxurious experience.
