White Mika “Recently, the Goto Islands have been featured more and more in domestic and international media, but the bias of tourists visiting the islands in the summer has become more evident, which is having a serious impact on the business of local businesses. It is urgent to eliminate this seasonal bias and create year-round tourism demand. Through this initiative, which transforms the “inconveniences” of the islands into “special experiences,” we hope to first let people in Japan know about the new possibilities of the Goto Islands. And by getting more people to actually visit Goto, we hope to contribute to the realization of direct flights to Tokyo in the future. Continuous and stable demand is essential to realizing direct flights. We hope that our innovative service will become a hot topic and help increase the number of visitors to Goto, which will contribute in some way to realizing direct flights to Tokyo. ” ■ How to make a reservation or contact us Advance reservations required:Advance reservations are required for the on-site cooking service.
