The Windsor Hotel Toya Resort & Spa in Toyako, Hokkaido, offers a series of hands-on workshops led by the hotel's dedicated in-house florist. The lineup has now expanded with a new winter-limited addition: the Gel Candle Holder workshop. The gel candle's glassy transparency gives it an icy appearance, allowing the embedded flowers to shine through beautifully — making it a memorable souvenir to bring home.
