Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo (Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo) is hosting a variety of Golden Week events centered around a garden display of 100 koi streamers. New for this year is an evening dinner buffet featuring live magic and piano performances—the Golden Week "Magical Night" Family Buffet—starting April 29.
A honey harvest experience, a family bread-and-sweets workshop, and a morning yoga session are also on the schedule throughout the Golden Week period.
Golden Week "Magical Night" Family Buffet
During the dinner buffet, the hotel's banquet hall will feature on-stage performances by a magician and pianists. The featured magician is Junya, who handled the direction and production of the TV drama TRICK and serves as the principal magician aboard JR Kyushu's luxury sleeper train Nanatsu Boshi, performing both domestically and internationally. Joining him are pianist Yosshy—who honed his skills in Düsseldorf, Germany and performs as a support keyboardist on national tours with popular band Official Hige Dandism—and pianist Kana Onuki, a graduate of Tokyo College of Music's graduate program and the advanced course at the Conservatory of Music in Pescara, Italy, who serves as the regular pianist on the luxury train THE ROYAL EXPRESS.
The buffet menu spans Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine, with highlights including beef sirloin steak, the hotel's traditional special beef stew, seafood bouillabaisse, and mapo tofu. The live kitchen serves freshly made tempura, roasted chicken and duck breast, and 100% beef cheese sliders. Marking Children's Day, a braised sea bream garnished with koinobori-shaped carrots is offered to adults (ticket redemption), and elementary school children and younger guests can decorate their own koinobori cookies (ticket redemption).
Before and after the meal, guests can enjoy the hotel garden's display of 100 koi streamers alongside Tokyo Cloud Sea, one of Japan's largest fog garden installations.
