Okinawa Harborview Hotel (沖縄ハーバービューホテル) in Izumizaki, Naha, Okinawa will hold "Festive Season 2026" (フェスティブシーズン2026) from Wednesday, November 4 to Friday, December 25, 2026. In addition to limited menus at its buffet, afternoon tea, and teppanyaki offerings, the season includes live music, in-hotel events, and a "Santa Delivery" for guests staying at the hotel. The program is designed so that guests can enjoy the time leading up to Christmas as well as Christmas Day itself.
"Don't Let Christmas End in One Day" (クリスマスを、1日で終わらせない)
Under the theme "Don't let Christmas end in one day," the hotel has set the roughly two months from November 4 (Wed) to December 25 (Fri) as a festive season, so that guests can enjoy the days leading up to Christmas and not only the day itself. The program offers ways to celebrate Christmas with friends, companions, loved ones, and family, each at their own timing.
Special menus are served in the season at the buffet restaurant "Printemps" (プランタン), the teppanyaki restaurant "Izumizaki" (鉄板焼「泉崎」), and the "Lounge & Bar." From December 23 (Wed) to 25 (Fri), a Bûche de Noël wagon service and in-restaurant events are also planned. On Christmas Day, Santa Claus delivers presents that guests have left with the hotel in advance to their guest rooms, to help families create memories.
Menus by Executive Chef Kenichi Aoki
Executive Chef Kenichi Aoki (青木健一) created the menus for each restaurant with the aim of bringing a sense of anticipation for the festive season through food, in a hotel where the illuminations are already shining a little early. The dishes combine classic cooking techniques with a modern touch and are meant to color the season leading up to Christmas.

Live handpan performance and a "Tonttu" hunt in the hotel
On December 23 (Wed) and 24 (Thu) at dinner time, a handpan player performs live. The handpan, which was born in Switzerland, is a percussion instrument played with the palms and fingertips, producing soft, dreamlike tones in layers of resonance. It is known for the quiet afterglow of its sound. Alongside the performance, an event in the hotel to find the Nordic fairy "Tonttu" (トントゥ) is held.
Handpan player mayu (Mayuko Hoshino, 星野 真由子)
Based in Nakijin Village, mayu is a handpan player and spatial sound artist. Her work takes the theme of "sound that stays close to a space," valuing sounds born from Okinawa's nature and stillness. She performs at hotel lounges and wellness spaces, as well as at reception parties, temples, and shrines.
From Saturday, December 26, 2026 to Thursday, January 7, 2027, Printemps will hold a special fair featuring popular menu items it has served in the past.
