皆様明けましておめでとうございます。HOTEL LITTLE BIRD OKU-ASAKUSAも無事開業から2年を迎えました。開業してすぐに世界中がコロナ禍に襲われ、ホテルの経営も大変な時期がありましたが、皆様に支えて頂いて何とかホテルの経営を続けることができています。
Happy New Year everyone! HOTEL LITTLE BIRD OKU-ASAKUSA has managed to be in business for two years. As soon as we opened, the whole world was hit by the COVID 19 pandemic and we had a difficult time running the hotel, but thanks to the support of everyone, we have managed to keep running the hotel.
この2年間、多くの素敵なお客様にお会いすることができました。海外で活躍する日本人の方々の素敵なお話も伺うことができました。日本に居ながらにして海外旅行している気分です。お客様とお食事したりお酒を飲んだり、お客さまでありながらお友達のような家族のような。このホテルではお客様に素敵な体験を提供したいのですが、逆に私たちが素敵な体験を提供して頂いています。
Over the past two years, I have had the pleasure of meeting many wonderful customers. I have also been able to hear wonderful stories about Japanese people who are active overseas. I felt like I was traveling abroad even though I was in Japan, eating and drinking with the guests, like they were my friends and family even though they were my guests. The hotel wants to provide a wonderful experience for its guests, but in fact, we are the ones who enjoy the wonderful experience offered by our guests.
今年もコロナ禍は続くかもしれませんが、海外の皆様が日本に立ち寄ったとき故郷のような存在のホテルになりたいと思っています。また、すぐではないでしょうが外国人のお客様が観光で日本を訪れる日がまた来ることを信じて、ガイドブックにない「本当の日本」「本当の東京」「本当の浅草」を体験して頂きたいと思い、いろんな紹介ビデオを制作しました。こちらにビデオたくさん載せていますので是非ご覧下さい。
The COVID 19 pandemic may continue this year, but we hope to become a hotel that is like a home for people from overseas when they stop by Japan. We also believe that the day will come again when foreign guests will visit Japan for sightseeing, although it may not be soon, and we have made various introductory videos so that they can experience the “real Japan,” the “real Tokyo,” and the “real Asakusa” that are not in the guidebooks. You can find many of them here, so please take a look.
では、最後に、本日制作した浅草の大みそかを映したビデオをご紹介します。皆様のご意見をお待ちしております！
And finally, here is a video we made today showing New Year’s Eve in Asakusa. We’d love to hear your thoughts on it!
