SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Environmental Efforts

Fun and Frugal, for the Good of NatureWe cooperate with guests and partner businesses in efforts including reduction of CO2 emissions, recyclable resources, waste reduction, and environmental preservation.

Reduction of Plastic Use

・Elimination of plastic straws
All of the hotel’s plastic straws have been replaced by paper or biodegradable straws.

・Use of recyclable resources for guest room amenities
Use of plastic was partially eliminated in amenities beginning in April, 2022.

・Elimination of plastic in foundation amenity containers
The containers for foundation cosmetics have been changed to glass or paper (including recycled paper).

・Elimination of plastic in takeout cutlery
Plastic takeout cutlery has been changed to wooden cutlery, with some exceptions.

Use of Partners Realizing Recyclable Resources

・L’OCCITANE 100% R-PET bath amenities
The L’OCCITANE bottles used in guest room amenities are produced with no new plastic, and instead made from recyclable materials to be fully recyclable. We support L’OCCITANE’s Green Program, in which empty amenity bottles are collected and recycled, by posting notices at all of our hotels.

・Reusable Nespresso coffee capsules
The aluminum Nespresso coffee capsules placed in guest rooms are perpetually recyclable.

Environmental Efforts in the Garden

In our garden, we make use of the groundwater and water flowing in from the nearby river for environmental efforts in which our guests can view the flight of the fireflies each year, and instructional programs are held for children, teaching the importance of environmental preservation.

Support of Environmental Preservation Activities

・Red Carpet Project
In our hotel shop, we sell camellia tea made from camellias that bloom in the Kesen district of Iwate Prefecture, supporting the Red Carpet Project, which plants trees to restore areas damaged in earthquakes.

・#InsectCollection Donation
The Insect Collection was born around the concept that both children and adults could grow alongside insects. We support the efforts of the Insect Collection, in which a donation is made to an environmental preservation foundation when people post about their purchase on social media, by releasing exclusive Insect Collection products in our shop.

・Waters Revital Project
We hold collaborative events making use of upstream-swimming sweetfish, which the studies and efforts in southern Shikoku of the NPO Waters Revital Project, seeking to preserve Japan’s pure waters, made possible.

Tree Planting in the Garden

In an effort to preserve nature for generations to come, we recruit writings about experiences with nature, invite families with children to the hotel for tree-planting ceremonies, and have held a natural bonsai-making workshop since 2019.

Eco room cleaning for guests staying consecutive nights

For guests staying consecutive nights, we change bed linens every third day to help protect the environment.
If you want the linens changed more frequently, please indicate your intentions on a provided request card and we will meet your needs.
When you desire clean bath towels, please place used ones in the bathtub and we will exchange them with clean towels that day.
Together with guests, we will help protect the environment.

3010 Implementation

As a promotion to reduce food waste from banquets, we ask that guests eat at their seats for 30 minutes after their toast, and return to their seats to finish food from 10 minute before the end of the banquet. Posters for the policy are posted in the hotel around buffet events.
