Noh Stage Elegance and Wind Chimes Every year from early June to August, Sekitaitei Ishida adorns its Noh stage and corridors with 1,000 Tanabata wind chimes. The Edo-style wind chimes crafted by the Shinohara family provide a cooling sound, while their vermilion color serves as a ward against evil. Guests and visitors are welcome to view the display for free.

Nagoshi no Harae and Purification To pray for good health and ward off disasters, the hotel sets up a 'Chinowa' reed ring on the grounds for the 'Nagoshi no Harae' purification ritual. The summer festival (Nagoshi-sai) will be held on June 30th.

Workshops and Special Cuisine Various workshops, including chalk art and wind chime painting, will be available during the period. The hotel also serves a 'Tanka-zen' special lunch consisting of 31 small dishes, inspired by the 31 syllables of Tanka poetry (4,950 yen, requires reservation 2 days in advance).
