Cross Hotel Sapporo partners with Akaikawa Village for regional lunch fair

Cross Hotel Sapporo has teamed up with Akaikawa Village in Hokkaido to host the "Akaikawa Village Lunch Fair" from August 1 to September 27. The event showcases seasonal produce and stories from local farmers, offering a buffet that features items such as asparagus root soup, melon, and mini‑tomatoes.

The hotel’s "FEEL LOCAL" concept emphasizes regional culture, food and people, and the fair includes sustainable menu options that repurpose normally discarded ingredients, aiming to reduce food waste. Producer profiles are highlighted on the hotel’s website and social media, and related products are sold in the hotel’s retail area.
