<There are lots of great deals in NYC in the winter!>
It's a new year!
More than one million people from around the world gather at Times Square for the New Year countdown
It was the first heavy rain and thunder I've seen in my 20-plus years living in New York.
Many of the people who had been lining up since lunchtime, wearing diapers,
I couldn't bear it and left,
New York is truly a city where miracles happen.
The rain stopped before the New Year,
Those who waited patiently welcomed the best year ever, 2025, with the biggest smiles on their faces.
And as the weather gets colder in New York, the number of tourists will decrease dramatically.
That's the spot!
No matter where you go, there are no lines and the service is slow and polite.
This is the only "bargain season" of the year.
for example
⚫️25% off hotels
NYC Hotel Week (1/2-2/9)
25% off standard rooms at over 130 hotels
https://www.nyctourism.…
*This is great news in New York where hotel prices are soaring.
⚫️ Half price for Broadway musicals
NYC Broadway Week (1/21-2/9)
2 tickets for the price of 1 at 23 theaters
https://www.nyctourism.…
Great value lunch and dinner at your favorite restaurants
NYC Restaurant Week (1/21-2/9)
https://www.nyctourism.…
* Hundreds of restaurants offer $30 prix-fixe three-course lunches and $45 dinners
Airfares are also cheaper during this time of year.
Please come to NY

ALOHA
One of the most popular lunch options on recent tours has been the Coco Seven Brothers hamburgers, which use meat that is not frozen and are made with fresh ingredients, making for a delicious hamburger that really feels like it's made with fresh meat.
It's fun to have a variety of toppings.
ALOHA
It's the season when you can see the beautiful sunrise from Hanauma Bay. For those of you joining us on our tours this month and next month, we will take jumping photos like this.

Founded in 1987,
At Astor Place in Downtown NYC
It has been a permanent fixture since 1991.
It was popular for 34 years.
Off-Broadway's "Blue Man Group"
next year,
It will end on February 2, 2025.
It was a mysterious and fun show performed by three Blue Men without using words.
Even if you are not confident in your English, you can enjoy it 100%.
By saying
They were so popular that they toured not only the US but also around the world.
The original permanent New York production has finally come to a close.
For 34 years,
So that there will always be pleasant surprises no matter how many times you watch it,
Blue Man has been making small changes and improvements over time.
What will the content be like towards the final performance?
I'm sad it's ending
There's also the excitement of knowing what the Blue Man will do.
Blue Man originated in New York.
December, January, February (until the 2nd)
If you have plans to visit NY in the remaining time,
Please come and visit us.

<57th Street, the prime location of NY's 5th Avenue, will be turned into a giant Louis Vuitton bag>
The store is undergoing major renovations over the next few years, so it's no wonder it's New York, Fifth Avenue, and Louis Vuitton.
Instead of using ordinary construction scaffolding, the entire renovation area was covered in Louis Vuitton, down to the smallest detail.
Prior to that,
A (tentative) flagship store will open next door.
Unveiling of the largest Louis Vuitton building in the United States.
The first Louis Vuitton Cafe (restaurant)
Louis Vuitton Chocolate Shop
Sales of NY exclusive items, etc.
Already a hot topic ✨
※Click here for the latest video↓
https://youtube.com/sho…
Just how fantastically luxurious will the real flagship store be when this bag-covered enclosure is removed in a few years?
This is a (temporary) store that we are very excited about.
There's one more thing to enjoy on 5th Avenue in New York!

ALOHA
The rainy season has now arrived on Oahu, and we are seeing more showers in the mornings and evenings, but after the rain the skies have cleared up and we are seeing more and more blue skies and rainbows.
The sky and atmosphere in Hawaii at this time of year is also great.

And finally, on the evening of December 4th (Wednesday), there will be a grand lighting ceremony for this tree.

The popular manga "Attack on Titan" has set numerous records around the world and topped the New York Times bestseller list.
The first overseas performance of this 2.5-dimensional musical will be
The show will finally begin this weekend at the historic New York City Center in the heart of Midtown New York.
How will those giants appear on stage?
At the Japan tour in January this year,
The latest technology, singing, dancing, and action are so amazing that the venue is full! I'm already excited!
And I'm happy that New York, the home of musicals, was chosen for their first overseas performance.
Japanese pop culture and anime are very popular in New York these days, so I'm sure the event will be packed with people of all races and generations.
Furthermore
People who like dancing and singing
People who live in the New York entertainment industry
I was filled with a new sense of pride and curiosity about performing in America not traditional art but modern, made-in-Japan art.
The atmosphere at the venue will be amazing
Only a few tickets left!
