The luxury urban resort is debuting its 'Ultimate Sea of Clouds' and other summer events July 3, 2023.

TOKYO, June 20, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo announces its summer-long event, the Ultimate Sea of Clouds, launching Monday, July 3rd. Visitors can take a break from the summer heat and refresh in the hotel's traditional Japanese garden, where the award-winning Tokyo Sea of Clouds will have twice the amount of mist as usual.

The Tokyo Sea of Clouds debuted in 2020 as part of the first phase of the hotel's Garden Project, a series of projects created to celebrate the hotel's 70th anniversary. In 2023, it made its mark globally when the "Tokyo Sea of Clouds and the Seven Seasons" won the Urban/Landscape Architecture category of the iF Design Awards, one of the world's oldest and most prestigious design awards. 

At regular intervals throughout the day, the entire garden is shrouded in mist, creating an effect that is usually only seen from mountaintops under certain weather conditions. The sea of clouds is such a rare view that it is considered a miracle to witness it even once. With double the amount of mist, this summer's Ultimate Sea of Clouds takes it up a notch, making the garden even more alive and dynamic than usual.

Also on display from July 3rd is 'wind chime alley,' where approximately 300 Edo-style wind chimes will be arranged along a pathway in the garden, immersing guests in the sounds of summer. In addition, the hotel is hosting a competition where Ultimate Sea of Clouds-themed sweets will go head-to-head in a friendly battle.

The hotel is also preparing a special dessert for the occasion. The Lemon Tokyo Sea of Clouds Zuccotto comprises a ricotta cheese-based cassata cream that is wrapped in a fluffy white sponge, topped with cloud-like Chantilly cream, and finished with powdered sugar. It is available for purchase at the hotel shop or as part of the dinner course at Il Teatro.

You can see more information about the Ultimate Sea of Clouds and related events on the hotel website or on their YouTube channel.

A New Way to Explore America's Oldest National Park

WEST YELLOWSTONE, Mont., June 15, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Shaka Guide, the maker of Hawaii's highest-rated travel apps, has launched a new, self-guided audio-driving tour of America's first national park: Yellowstone. This is the company's largest tour, with a total of 110 stops and more than 400 audio points.

"This Yellowstone National Park Tour has been a year in the making," says Andrew Fowers, Shaka Guide's CEO and co-founder. "It has gone through hundreds of hours of research, edits, and production and we can't wait for travelers to discover the stories and sites of Yellowstone with Shaka Guide by their side." 

With its unique blend of storytelling and GPS navigation, Shaka Guide offers an affordable and immersive travel experience that unlocks the natural beauty and rich history of Yellowstone. The tour retails for $11.99 and features hours of narration. The app uses GPS audio points to trigger narration automatically while driving or walking, turning a smartphone into your personal tour guide. 

The Yellowstone National Park Tour features four starting points including the park's East, West, South, and Northeast entrances. Whether spending one hour, one day or one week in Yellowstone, the tour is completely customizable. It can be done in any direction from any starting point to experience a holistic guided tour of the park. 

Shaka Guide's Yellowstone National Park tour is designed to enhance the visitor's experience by providing valuable information on key points of interest, suggested hikes, responsible travel, and lesser-known areas within the park.

Tour highlights include: 

• Mammoth Hot Springs and its nearby attractions 
• The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone 
• Lamar Valley and Hayden Valleys — two prime wildlife viewing sites
• Upper Geyser Basin including the famed Old Faithful 
• Unique attractions like the Roaring Mountain, Maiden's Grave, and the Firehole River
• Road-less-traveled sites like Lake Butte Overlook and Fishing Bridge

With Shaka Guide, you don't just visit these spots, you get hand-crafted stories about the locations you're visiting. The company was founded with the mission to connect people with places through stories. 

The app works completely offline — meaning that even with spotty service in the park, travelers have access to the offline map, directions, stories, and travel tips to help visitors enjoy the park regardless of connectivity.  

For those visiting both Yellowstone and nearby Grand Teton, Shaka Guide has also launched a new Grand Teton National Park Tour. Both tours come in a bundle for $14.99. 

"When you think of Shaka Guide, imagine we're your local friend showing you around the park," says Fowers. "We want to be your go-to Yellowstone travel companion app to help you make the most of your adventure." 

To access the Yellowstone National Park Tour, download the Shaka Guide app from the App Store or Google Play or purchase on www.shakaguide.com.
