Reviving the Camelia Mountain With Local Children

Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo is committed to preserving the splendid Chinzanso Garden, a natural site of historical significance, to following generations and connecting their inherited past with the future. In the Garden Project, launched in October 2020, one of the goals for the hotel was to revive the historical Camelia Mountain by planting ten thousand camelia trees by 2022.

To complete this objective, many of the new camelia trees were planted with the help of local elementary school children, selected through an essay competition. Three children and their families were invited to stay at the hotel and take part in the camelia planting ceremony. You can watch footage of this special event in this 2-minute video released by Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo.

The initiative of involving local children in the revival of the Camelia Mountain is unique to Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo. It is at the same time an original way of making sure that children can enjoy their stay at the hotel for many years to come.
