Riviera's new normal

At each restaurant and Malibu Hotel, we were able to welcome customers this summer by taking measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The original role of a restaurant is to focus on the quality of taste and customer service, but in this time of the coronavirus pandemic, we are focusing on "new normal hospitality" with safety and security as our top priority. For example, Malibu hotels can have breakfast and dinner delivered to your room. This service corresponds to "reclusion" to reduce contact with unspecified large numbers of people, but guests can enjoy meals with a spectacular view of the sea right in front of the hotel.

While many event venues are closed, Riviera Zushi Marina's event venues, all of which have large windows facing the ocean, are popular for corporate presentations, exhibitions, family events, and TV filming. It is highly valued.
Recently, “staycations” have also been attracting attention.
For example, you can avoid contact with unspecified large numbers of people, which is a source of anxiety for the elderly, by renting out the venue. Three generations of parents and children gather together to celebrate family anniversaries and enjoy karaoke, practice sessions with friends with the same hobbies at the piano venue, and girls' gatherings where you can enjoy chatting.
Because you are staying for a long time, we have a staycation plan that allows you to spend your time at a sea-view resort as you like.

This summer, we held a 3-day pop-up restaurant called Saryo Riviera no Niwa by the Sea. With the coronavirus pandemic making it difficult to travel overseas, the open-air space overlooking the ocean, where the horizon stretches in a straight line, was well received by people who miss the extraordinary experience of overseas resorts.
We are looking for a new project that takes advantage of the location of Riviera Zushi Marina, which has a resort feel and avoids crowds. For example, pop-up restaurants run by external chefs may be something Riviera can do to help the food and beverage industry, which is reportedly struggling.
Riviera Zushi Marina still has a lot of potential.

This summer has seen record-breaking heat waves. The noisy sounds of cicadas have calmed down, and we can now hear the bell insects singing and feel the arrival of autumn.
It is true that during the past six months of the coronavirus pandemic, we have been forced to reduce the number of times we eat out, and gatherings with family and friends feel more special than ever. Many people would like to get together with their grandparents for anniversaries such as Shichi-Go-San, birthdays, coming-of-age celebrations, and longevity celebrations, but many people may have given up on this because of the risk of serious illness in the elderly. What is popular among such people is the private rooms that are unique to Riviera Tokyo, which started out as a Japanese restaurant. In a completely private space where you won't mix with other guests, open the large windows and be surrounded by the scent of greenery and the sound of the waterfall, making your time together even more memorable. The facility's easy access by train has been well-received for some time, but since there is a parking lot within the facility, we have taken into account the risk of contact with trains, buses, etc., so even elderly people can safely gather with their families. I would be happy if you could participate. You can also rent out our well-ventilated party hall for meals and banquets with friends.
When serving course meals, we do our best to ensure that guests can spend their time with peace of mind, such as by reducing the number of meals served and avoiding unnecessary contact with staff, without changing the total amount of meals. Please enjoy traditional Japanese cuisine passed down for 70 years from the Japanese restaurant "Hakuunkaku" in the open-air "Urban Forest."

This summer, along with the GoTo campaign, workation also attracted attention. For example, if you stay at a Malibu hotel, your family can enjoy a stroll around the Riviera Zushi Marina while you're doing online meetings or working from home.

Day-trippers are also welcome. You can work in an environment different from your home. Working in an open location while feeling the sea breeze is sure to spark creative ideas. In addition, Riviera Tokyo is located in the heart of the city but is quiet, offering a calm environment with plenty of greenery. How about doing some intellectual work in the ``urban forest''? There you will find concentration, relaxation, and a safe space without crowds.

We have received many inquiries from customers who feel it is important to meet in person from time to time for team building and discussions while working remotely. There is also a growing need for off-site meetings where people can share ideas that arise only in extraordinary spaces. It is also possible to broadcast multiple venues at the same time, so it is safe even with a large number of people. It is also possible to hold academic conferences and events that combine real and online streaming.
Not having restrictions on location, time, or day of the week is the best condition for avoiding the 3 Cs. In the coming era, Riviera will help you create an environment where you can work more relaxedly and freely.

Recently, The Riviera Resort Club has been receiving increasing attention, and we have received many inquiries and requests for interviews from customers. When you go out to sea, it's 360 degrees open air. We see this as ``increasing expectations for the sea.''
Although Japan is surrounded by the sea, it does not have a maritime culture like Europe and America. The Riviera Resort Club was started in 2007 as a completely members-only club where you can enjoy the comfort of going out on the ocean from a variety of club boats and share them according to your purpose. We were once again reminded of this.
We have heard that spending time in nature "washes away the evil spirits from feeling confined" and "frees you from the coronavirus." Riviera will do everything in its power to meet your expectations.

We would like to thank all members for their cooperation in good manners at sea and infection control measures based on Riviera guidelines.
While various yacht races have been canceled across the country, the ``16th Trans Sagami Yacht Race 2020'' co-sponsored by Riviera has been attracting attention from race-related people across the country. While taking into consideration everyone's opinions, we have decided to hold the race after taking all possible precautions. Approximately 50 boats participated in the race in support of the new normal race management. I could see everyone's passion in their unwavering attitude.
We will always seek ways to suit the times of the "new normal" and build a new era in order to preserve tradition and culture.
