I couldn't wait for the event! I tried the new sandwich from the 'Sweet House Wakaba' Sakura Open Bus Tour!
In this note, I would like to introduce 'Sweet House Wakaba,' which I mentioned in my previous article!
↑ Towards the end of this article.
I introduced the sandwich box from 'Sweet House Wakaba,' one of the bento options for the 'Sakura Open Bus Tour,' a spring cherry blossom event at Hoshino Resorts KAI Anjin and KAI Ito!
The photos looked so delicious that I couldn't wait for the 'Sakura Open Bus Tour' to start, so I actually went to 'Sweet House Wakaba' to eat the sandwiches myself!
Off to 'Sweet House Wakaba'!
A stylish green shop.

Even while I was at the shop, tourists were stopping by to get takeout.
As written on this menu, the food and desserts are made by hand as much as possible!
I was surprised to learn that their popular soft-serve ice cream is also handmade!
Looking at the photo of the Sakura Open Bus Tour bento, I guessed it was likely the 'Mixed Sandwich' and 'Vanilla Soft-Serve Ice Cream,' so I ordered those.
It was incredibly delicious!
The mayonnaise was so mellow that I felt like I could eat it forever, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye...
This is definitely something that both children and adults will love!!
The sandwich came with potato chips, which was a delightful touch~
A soft-serve ice cream with a cute, fluffy shape like a cloud!
It's sweet and absolutely delicious!
I can see why people go out of their way to get the soft-serve ice cream for takeout.
I think cold, delicious soft-serve ice cream is a perfect match while viewing cherry blossoms~
Sakura Open Bus Tour
The 'Sakura Open Bus Tour' held this spring at KAI Anjin and KAI Ito.
The event runs from March 27 to April 7, 2026!
↑ Please check this website or my previous article for more information on the 'Sakura Open Bus Tour'!
Starting this year, we have the new sandwich box in collaboration with 'Sweet House Wakaba' and the seafood chirashi bento in collaboration with 'Izu Taro'!
Touring the cherry blossoms of Izu on an open bus is very appealing, but I also feel that the cherry blossom viewing bento, which is a collaboration with a popular local shop, is quite attractive as well.
↑ If you are interested in the cherry blossom viewing bento for the "Cherry Blossom Open Bus Tour," please take a look at this site!
This time, perhaps out of sheer excitement? Or because I couldn't wait? I ended up doing a sneak preview food report!
I am so happy that the facility where I work is collaborating with a shop I know that I am surprised myself!
Even if you are not participating in the "Cherry Blossom Open Bus Tour," please try the sandwiches and soft-serve ice cream at "Sweet House Wakaba" when you visit Ito!
Facility Introduction
The Hoshino Resorts facilities introduced this time are two properties located in Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture, from the hot spring ryokan brand "KAI."
An inn drifting with the romance of the Age of Discovery: "KAI Anjin"
Immersed in hot springs, following the flower calendar: "KAI Ito"
Although they are in the same city of Ito, they are facilities with completely different characteristics.
If you have even the slightest interest, I think you will be able to understand their different natures by comparing their respective websites!
