Rediscover Japan's Spring with Ascott's Unique Offerings

As spring approaches in 2026, the vibrant cherry blossom (sakura) season invites travelers to rediscover the beauty of Japan with a special Spring Escape program by The Ascott Limited. With its headquarters in Singapore and properties across 40 countries, Ascott aims to provide a unique stay experience that allows guests to enjoy spring in a way that feels like living like a local.

The Ascott Experience

Ascott Japan is excited to present a variety of engaging activities and special seasonal plans designed for all types of travelers. As perceptions of travel evolve from visiting famous tourist spots to experiencing a blend of everyday adventure and cultural immersion, Ascott is prepared to unveil the hidden charms of spring in Japan.

This rich seasonal experience includes unique activities such as the ‘Yokohama Beer Bike’ tour, where participants can ride through the cherry blossom-filled Minato Mirai, savoring local craft beers and gourmet cuisine from the historic restaurant Umeya. Guests will have the choice between two routes: one showcasing daytime sakura and brewery visits, and the other featuring nighttime flowers and a tour of excellent restaurants. This thrilling ride takes place on March 26, 2026, with a limited participation fee of ¥8,000 (tax included) per person, accommodating only six participants per course.

Cultural Workshops and Unique Events

Ascott also invites guests to participate in an exclusive 'Anko no Hana' (Sweet Bean Flower) traditional Japanese confectionery art workshop at the stunning Ascott Marunouchi Tokyo, which looks out over the Imperial Palace. This engaging art activity, designed in collaboration with the Art Food Association, provides an immersive experience in Japanese culture. The workshop is set for April 12, 2026, with a fee of ¥12,000 (tax included) and limited to four participants per session.

In collaboration with Montblanc, an “Inspire Writing” high tea event will take place at Oakwood Premier Tokyo from April 30, 2026, encouraging creativity and mindfulness while enjoying exquisite tea amidst a serene atmosphere. This unique high tea experience is priced at ¥7,000 General / ¥6,500 for ASR members (tax included), with a daily limit of eight participants per session.
