[Grand Mercure Yatsugatake Resort & Spa] It feels like a theme park! Expansion of all-weather activity areas that can be enjoyed by three generations

This summer, we will introduce new toys and activities to make it a more fulfilling all-inclusive stay.

Grand Mercure Yatsugatake Resort & Spa, a highland resort hotel overlooking Yatsugatake, the Southern Alps, and Mount Fuji (Location: Oizumi-cho, Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture; General Manager: Akira Uemura) has established four new activity rooms (*1) in addition to the popular all-weather activity facility Mori no 8. All generations can enjoy table tennis and foot pot soccer that can be played together with parents and children, wooden train toys for infants, and toys with sound, and anyone can use it free of charge. Based on the opinions of customers such as "I am happy to be able to enjoy it without worrying about the weather" and "It is difficult to visit various places when CHILDREN is small", we enhanced activities and play that can be enjoyed in our hotel. In addition, "Toy Box icarus", which runs a toy shop in Kobuchizawa Town, Yamanashi Prefecture, has been cooperating with the installation of toys, so that you can touch the things of this area as much as possible.

We will continue to add new activities in the future, and continue to evolve into a hotel that can be played only in the hotel regardless of the weather during all seasons.

*1: The “Activity Room” featured in this release is not a guest room for accommodation, but a shared room that can be used by guests.

4 New Activity Rooms

1． Train Room (Hotel 3F)

The world of train toys spread around wooden rails. Under the theme of "Connecting and expanding, creating a free city that you envision", you can freely lay out the rails and create your own town. There is also an existing rail area where you can play immediately, so even beginners can enjoy it with confidence.

2． Sound Room (Hotel 3F)

It is a room where you can play music while feeling the warmth of wood. If you play with sound toys such as a piano or an iron harp, it's already a forest concert. Please enjoy the sound of the sound that heals your heart.

3． Football Soccer Room (Hotel B1F)

Walk on the foot pot mat while enduring pain, kick the ball ahead and aim for the goal. The goal also has a foot pot mat, so you can enjoy comparing the endurance of both the attacking side and the defending side.

4． Table Tennis Room (Hotel B1F)

The popular table tennis table, which had been installed in the foyer on the first basement floor, has been relocated. Increased from 2 to 3, and more people can use it.

Toy box icarus (Icarus)
Among the activities newly introduced this time, "Train Room" and "Sound Room" were selected and set up by "Toy Box icarus", a wooden toy specialty store in Kobuchizawa-machi, Hokuto City, toy box.

Opened a shop in Kobuchisawacho, surrounded by rich nature in April 1994. We sell and plan original products and develop online shops. ADULTS has more than 1,000 products such as high quality wooden toys, board games, puzzles, woodwork, etc.

Comments from "Toy Box icarus"
"This time, we proposed a toy to be installed in a space where families can relax in "Grand Mercure Yatsugatake Resort & Spa" and set up a "train room" where wooden rail train play (BRIO) can be enjoyed. In addition to toys selected according to Grand Mercure's request, we produced a four-tatami BRIO wooden train diorama designed by our shop. Based on the characteristics of hotels visited by many customers, we proposed a train set that allows you to play with peace of mind repeatedly by fixing the diorama on a large single sheet. In addition to diorama, there are many rails and vehicles that can be freely assembled in the train room. In a spacious space, it has become a space where children can be absorbed and play all day.
