At past events, many international guests have taken advantage of their free time to participate in cultural experiences thanks to the programs’ casual “drop-in-anytime” nature that allows for same-day participation. Furthermore, the hotel has received positive feedback from participants, including comments like “it was fun to have this experience right inside the hotel,” “I made handcrafted items as souvenirs for not only myself but also for my friends,” and “I am happy to have learned how to write my name in Japanese ‘kanji’ on my artwork.” Keio Plaza Hotel will continue to deliver memorable experiences to all guests by allowing them to experience the depth of Japanese arts and crafts representing Japan’s unique culture, thereby enabling guests to view the crafts they created and reminisce about their journey after they return home.
