<\/div>\n\n

Our hotel is currently celebrating its 55th anniversary. To mark this occasion, the restoration project for the \u201c100-Year-Old Piano\u201d\u2014a cherished treasure of our community\u2014has finally reached a major milestone. One hundred years ago, thanks to donations from the residents of Takeno Town, this piano was shipped from Germany across the sea. It was cherished at the local elementary school and throughout the Takeno community. However, due to the passage of time, it had fallen into a state requiring restoration. \u201cWe want to bring this piano\u2014which has accompanied the children\u2019s singing and witnessed the town\u2019s history\u2014back to life once again.\u201d<\/strong>Driven by this single-minded determination, our crowdfunding campaign received tremendous support from people across the nation and within our local community. It is thanks to your warm generosity that we were able to successfully complete a full restoration using the exceptional skills of experts. We offer our heartfelt gratitude. A 100-Year-Old Piano Revived by Piano Tuner Yasuo Matsumoto!<\/a>\u201cRevival\u201d to pass on 100 years of memories to the next generation, and the \u201cbirth\u201d of a new story<\/strong>Today, this 100-year-old German-made piano has regained its astonishingly vivid tone. With a spirit of gratitude, we will hold the \u201c2nd Rebirth Festival\u201d on Sunday, April 26, as a celebration for the entire community to honor this moving sound and pass it on to the next generation.<\/p>\n\n
