Healing Hotel Marche: Celebrating Family and Community

As the seasons shift, the Marissa Resort Southern Seto Suo-Oshima, managed by Towa Tourism Development Co., aims to honor mothers and fathers with a special event—the Healing Hotel Marche—on May 11 and June 15, 2025. This delightful market is not just a showcase of local entrepreneurs but also a celebration of the rich history, culture, and natural beauty of Yamaguchi and Suo-Oshima.

The Essence of Healing Hotel Marche

The Healing Hotel Marche is designed to connect visitors with the heart and soul of the region. Visitors will have the opportunity to encounter unique gifts that embody the love and dedication of local farmers and artisans. The market will provide an experience that allows attendees to enjoy the pleasures of local produce, food products, and the stories of the individuals behind them, thus fostering a deeper appreciation for the connections between food and its producers.

farmers and artisans will cater special items priced for the occasions to celebrate Mother’s and Father’s Day. The event will take place in the outdoor terrace of Marissa Resort and the Infinity Lagoon area, ensuring a scenic backdrop for this vibrant gathering.

Supporting Young Female Entrepreneurs

In line with the spirit of the event, the Yamaguchi Agricultural, Forestry and Fisheries Department has been actively promoting the initiative called “Yamaguchi Wonderful Women in Agriculture and Fisheries.” This initiative empowers young women in the agricultural sector by providing them with role models and community-building activities. Young female farmers are encouraged to share knowledge, address business challenges, and foster lasting friendships through local networks.

The Marissa Resort is proud to support these initiatives by featuring a dedicated “Agriculture Girls Corner” in their shop, where visitors can discover more about these inspiring women and their local products. It is an essential step in creating a strong partnership between producers and consumers.
