At HOSHINOYA Karuizawa in Nagano Prefecture, where it all began, from May 1st to December 21st, 2025, we will be offering a 2-night, 3-day wellness program called “Sleep of Sleep” that will help you get a good night’s sleep in the natural surroundings of Karuizawa. This is a wellness program that not only relieves sleep deprivation but also supports deep sleep. Through special bedding designed with sleep in mind, meals and activities that are key to a good night’s sleep, and hot spring bathing, you can experience the deepest rest and wake up refreshed like never before. Background In recent years, according to a survey of travelers, half of them answered, “I want to travel with the purpose of getting a deep sleep,” indicating that the need for sleep while traveling is increasing (*1). In order to get a deep sleep that is difficult to achieve in a busy daily life, in addition to high-quality bedding, it is essential to have a forest bath that allows you to experience nature with all five senses, moderate exercise, and an environment where you can relax both mind and body in a hot spring. At HOSHINOYA Karuizawa, surrounded by the rich nature of the foothills of Mt. Asama, you can stay in line with the rhythms of nature through activities such as forest bathing, hot springs, meals, morning stretching, and walking in the forest, helping you adjust your daily rhythms that tend to be disrupted by your busy schedule and support a comfortable night’s sleep. *1: Booking.com “Survey on “Travel Trend Prediction” in 2024” Feature 1: Preparing for sleep starts with breakfast! “Awakening breakfast” holds the key to a good night’s sleep

Based on this serotonin, “melatonin,” which controls sleep, is secreted at night, so breakfast is said to hold the key to a good night’s sleep. (*2, 3) Rhythmic movements such as chewing are also effective for secreting serotonin, so this is a special breakfast that encourages chewing by using foods rich in protein, vitamin B6, iron, etc. such as fish and eggs. In addition, tofu that is rich in hormones that help you sleep is available at “”. *2: Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital, Clinical Nutrition Department “Food Sailor No. 46″ November 2019 *3: Hideki Tanaka and Norihisa Tamura “Effects of breakfast and light on concentration in the morning, sleepiness, and reduction of night owls” Feature 2 Forest bathing, moderate exercise, and hot spring bathing lead to deep sleep HOSHINOYA Karuizawa is a special space where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and pursue a rest for your mind and body. By deliberately not placing a TV or clock in the guest room, and listening to the sounds of nature such as the sound of water, wind, and birds, you will forget the passage of time, heal your mind and body, and wake up refreshed. ■Wild Bird Forest Nature Watching Moderate exercise during the day is said to relieve mental tension and promote nighttime sleep by creating a sense of balance between day and night (*4). In this program, participants will experience “Wild Bird Forest Nature Watching” in the nationally established “Karuizawa Wild Bird Forest” adjacent to Hoshinoya Karuizawa, guided by a guide “Picchio” who is knowledgeable about living things.
