We had a mochi-pounding with our guests at the lobby on January 1st morning.
Fresh sticky mochi is very delicious!
There was a custom in Japan that all the relatives gather in one house to pound mochi and celebrate New Year. But now mochi-pounding is very rare in ordinary house so not only foreign guests but also many Japanese guests were beginner pounder.
We had a very fun time with our guests.
Thank you very much!
There is a New Year's flower display in the lobby by flower artist Mr.Hiroki Maeno.
The theme is "Pray".
