Tree of Hope
Picture of the Day ( 8 )
Grand Hyatt Tokyo General manager Christophe Lorvo, back row center, poses with artists Ruriko Murayama, right, and Yuichi Higashionna, and a representative of Kids Earth Fund, back row left, at an event Wednesday morning to launch “The Light of Happiness” Christmas program that runs from Nov 17 until Dec 25.
During this period on Fridays and Saturdays, the hotel will have a reception desk to collect Christmas presents to send to children in Tohoku. For participating guests, Christmas ornaments with handmade message cards will be distributed for guests to write on and hang on the tree. The messages and presents will be sent to children in Tohoku via Kids Earth Fund.
There are three Christmas trees in the lobby, two designed by Higashionna and Murayama, and one tree (pictured above), “The Light of Happiness Tree,” for hotel guests to decorate.
The hotel will also offer a special accommodation package, “The Light of Happiness Stay,” between Nov 17 and Dec 25, from which 5% of the room revenue will be donated to charity.

One of my favorite hotels. There always seem to be incredibly beautiful women in the lobby at any time of the day or evening.
The Tree of Hope is a nice gesture. For the children, there is not much they can do to help the Tohoku but putting messages on a tree is something they can understand.

The Light of Happiness Stay costs a minimum 50,000 yen per night. I'm not happy about that.

Serrano, 50,000 yen is a silly figure. Now if you said it was being done by the government of Japan, well even that is too much by a factor of 10x. Nice looking group of kids :)
