Enjoy a Refined Moon-viewing Experience tonight in Takanawa
Even though Takanawa is nestled in the heart of Tokyo, it remains a peaceful area with a rich cultural history. During the Edo period, people gathered here to await the rising moon and gaze up at the night sky-a custom known as tsukimachi, or 'waiting for the moon,' which has evolved into what we now know as moon-viewing. One of the most representative events was the Nijurokuya-machi. On the 26th day of the first and seventh months of the lunar calendar, people would come together to welcome the moonrise and spend a joyful evening under its light.
Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa is located on a historic site featuring a Japanese Garden of appoxiamately 20,000 m² , -a harmonious blend of seasonal natural beauty and historical memory.
We bring a modern touch to the beautiful culture of moon-viewing, welcoming guests with the enchanting bamboo lanterns display and moon-themed performances.
A moment of stillness and elegance created by the moonlight and Japanese Garden. We invite you to Takanawa to experience this uniquely graceful moment.
