What is Musubibito?
Considering urban areas and tourist centers around Japan as "Omoya" and beautiful areas that are not yet known as "Hanare", "Grand Mercure Nara Kashihara" is a hotel located in an area that can be said to be "Hanare". "#Hanare Journey" is a style of travel where you can enjoy the scenery rich in nature, the traditions and culture rooted in the area, and the interaction with local people. As one of the ways to enjoy this #Hanare Journey, we propose an original experience program "Musubibito". In this program, people who are familiar with the region and continue to preserve tradition and culture are referred to as "Musubibito" and play a role in connecting customers with their communities. In Grand Mercure in Japan, programs are being developed at hotels such as the source hunter in Beppu Bay and the salt craftsman in Awajishima.
