"What is Musubibito?"
Considering urban areas and tourist centers in various parts of Japan as "Omoya" and a beautiful area that is not well known one step further, "Grand Mercure Nara Kashihara" is a hotel located in an area that can be said to be "hare". "#Hanare Journey" is a style of travel where you can enjoy superb views of nature, traditions and culture rooted in the region, and interact with local people. As one of the ways to enjoy this #Hanare Journey, we are proposing the original experience program "Musubibito". In this program, people who are familiar with the region and continue to preserve traditions and culture are referred to as "Musubibito" and play a role in connecting customers and their communities. In Grand Mercure in Japan, we offer programs at hotels such as source hunters in Beppu Bay and salt artisans in Awajishima.
