奇跡の絶景「月の道」のご案内【9月の満月は27日(日)】

The moment you fall in love with the moonlight.

As the moon begins to rise from the sea, its light reflects on the water, creating a long, narrow path of light on the surface. This is known as the "Moon Light Path."
It's such a rare phenomenon—only on MANGETSU nights, and only a few days a month—that I wanted to share it with you all in a whisper.

 

 

Beautifully lit in a majestic location

 

What is Moon Light Path?

After sunset, the world transforms into a deep indigo hue. On MANGETSU nights, a "Moon Light Path" appears, stretching straight towards the moon.
For just 30 minutes, from 30 minutes after moonrise to 1 hour later, you can witness a breathtakingly beautiful and captivating spectacle. This scene is made possible by the magnificent ocean view to the east and the high-rise hotel situated so close by. Experience the miraculous "Moon Light Path," a breathtaking spectacle that can only be seen for a mere 30 minutes when the location, weather, and season are just right, at SEAGAIA.

Message from the Manager

In order to allow as many guests as possible to experience this magnificent natural phenomenon, the "Moon Light Path" team, consisting mainly of bellmen and concierges, was formed in May 2008.
First, we started by letting the entire accommodation department staff know about how wonderful it was, and then the circle spread to the restaurant and bridal departments.
Over the course of about a year and a half, the program has gradually become more fulfilling. We will continue to create even more attractive plans and provide you with a wonderful experience.
