Hoshino Resorts Press Release Hoshino Resorts KAI Travel in Your 20’s Project Held from December 1 st , 2017 through March 31, 2018 Hoshino Resorts (CEO, Yoshiharu Hoshino) has 35 locations in Japan and across the world, including the Hoshino Resorts KAI brand of authentic hot spring ryokan inns. Hoshino Resorts KAI has 14 locations, including inns in Hakone and Atami, near Tokyo, and in Kaga, near Kanazawa. The Travel in Your 20’s Project aims to encourage more young people to stay at KAI brand locations and enjoy the pleasures of our hot springs. Starting on December 1st, eligible guests in their 20’s can enjoy a one-night, two-meal stay at any Hoshino Resorts KAI location for just 19,000 JPY per guest, which is as much as 46% off the standard rate, by booking our specially discounted “Traveling 20’s Package”. We’ve had over 10,000 guests visit as part of this project! We strive to give our guests a traditional ryokan experience, from accommodations, to etiquette, to methods, to the local area’s culture. The project’s ultimate goal is to have guests gain a personal understanding of what makes Japan great through their experience. Our hope is that in the near future, their stay will have a positive effect in multiple facets of society, not just the tourism industry. In consideration of the economic circumstances of most young people, the project offers a special rate package of up to 46% off the standard price of a stay. Since the project’s inception in June 2013, we have had over 10,000 guests book a “Youth Traveler Package”. For our current 8 th year of the project, our goal is to have 4,000 guests.
