- What is TAKANAWA NIJUROKUYA?
-
During the Edo period in Takanawa, where areas were covered with fine-view hills,
there was a custom of praying and waiting for the moon to rise.
The evenings of January 26th and July 26th of the lunar calendar
were known as Nijurokuya-machi, when many enjoyed drinking and eating
at stalls and waiting for the mysterious moon to rise.
Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa has added a modern twist
to this unique aspect of Takanawa culture.
Takanawa Nijurokuya offers guests moon-waiting experiences
at various locations throughout the hotel.
Tonight, abandon the city’s glare for soft moonlight at the Prince Hotels in Takanawa.
