The coronavirus outbreak has been affecting tourism industry everywhere in the world, and such fate is no exception to Tokyo, a well-loved destination among avid travellers. Nevertheless, those who are lucky enough to have visited the city in the past know that Tokyo is tenacious in spirit, progressing day by day while embracing the new normal.
The city also promises a fun, yet safe travel experience through its exciting latest offerings – all operated under strict Standard of Procedures (SOP) – including the GREEN SPRINGS, which is an urban hub in Tachikawa that was launched back in April, 2020. The complex is fast becoming a trendy hot spot to see and be seen. Here are five reasons that we think GREEN SPRINGS should be in the itinerary for your next trip to Tokyo when the international travel ban is lifted: –
1. The complex is a one-stop centre.
Be it dining, entertainment and shopping, GREEN SPRINGS strives to be a destination on its own that caters visitors of all ages! Expect to see lots of eateries offering delicious specialty treats and shops with unique artisanal products. The complex also attracts the creative crowd with its TACHIKAWA STAGE GARDEN – the largest multipurpose hall in the Tama area – which will host exciting concerts and live events. (Programmes at the TACHIKAWA STAGE GARDEN are subject to the status of the current outbreak.)
2. The complex features a beautiful park for utter relaxation.
One of the things that the pandemic has taught us, is to appreciate natural open spaces – a place where both children and adults could enjoy quality time under the sun while having the ability to keep safe social distance. Luckily, the complex offers just that: a massive 10,000 m² multipurpose square to be exact!
3. The complex has a hotel with state-of-the-art spa facilities and spectacular views.
Travellers looking for a chance to pamper oneself should consider staying at the SORANO HOTEL, an abode focusing on “Well-being Short Trip”. Each room is spacious with an oversized window to allow eye-soothing natural lighting. Its top notch spa is not to be missed, promising guests holistic transformative experiences through its 60-meter Infinity Pool, an indoor hot bathing facility, a Nano-Mist Sauna and a Gym Studio. Views from the hotel are also spectacular; one may even get a glimpse of the majestic Mount Fuji in a distance on a clear day.
4. The complex is easily accessed via public transportation.
GREEN SPRINGS is conveniently located 25 minutes away from downtown Tokyo. From Shinjuku Station, for instance, travellers may take the JR Chuo Line (by Chuo Special Rapid or Ome Special Rapid) to each Tachikawa Station.
5. The complex practices uncompromised safety measures against the Covid-19 disease.
Of course, with the current pandemic has yet shown any signs of slowing down, GREEN SPRINGS’s authority is taking strict safety measures within its complex to curb the spread of the Covid-19 disease. Routine disinfection process is thoroughly carried out within the area with non-contact body temperature thermometers as well non-contact hand sanitiser dispensers are strategically installed at most entrances. Visitors are also required to wear mask at all times. On top of these, antibacterial and antiviral coatings are applied to common area’s chairs, tables and elevator buttons etc.
