How Families Can Still Enjoy a Trip to Japan Without Leaving the Philippines

When a trip to Japan isn’t feasible at the moment, families can still enjoy the Japanese-themed spring at this hotel.

Seeing our friends and family post their trips to Japan on their social media platforms can sometimes make us green with envy. From watching the cherry blossoms bloom to eating authentic sushi, those are things we’re sure would make Lent more enjoyable for our family. And if it’s not possible to travel out to Japan, Hotel Okura simulates the same experience with their Japanese restaurants, the all-day dining Yawaragi or Yamazato Restaurant.

Celebrating Lent as a Filipino Family But Japanese Style

Japanese cuisine has always been a family favorite. For kids, it’s the bright assortment and arrangement. Adults enjoy the simple and easy-to-enjoy flavors that differ heavily from herb-rich Western cuisine. Hotel Okura’s Yawaragi restaurant offers meat-free Teishoku sets that make abstaining a lot easier. With piping hot rice served with yakitori and assorted fresh sashimi, there’s no excuse for us, parents, to find avoiding meat difficult.

Alongside celebrating Japanese culture, Hotel Okura has a few events for the kids to enjoy. Including egg painting on April 9, 2023, from 12 NN to 3 PM or just having a taste of a few limited-edition Spring and rabbit-themed pastries.

A staycation trip to Japan without the physical hassle.

One of the greatest frustrations of traveling parents is when we’re making sure that the whole family is prepared to leave. And although a family trip to Japan is only a few hours, it can feel more than that. Especially, with the bustle of the airport, the delays, and even just getting visas for everyone. But with Hotel Okura offering what Japan also has to offer this Spring and Lent, it’ll be less traffic and less hassle for the family while still enjoying the beauty of Japan.
