Osaka Hilton countdown party
The Hilton Osaka will be counting down to 2014 with a party at The In Place lobby lounge Dec. 31.
On a "Back to the '80s" theme, there will be live music, a special buffet and all-you-can-drink beverages, including champagne.
Also, following the Japanese tradition of eating soba on the last day of the year (buckwheat noodles are believed to bring good luck, family fortune and symbolize longevity because of their length), toshikoshi soba will be served.
