Embracing Sustainability: Pullman Tokyo Tamachi's Earth Hour 2026 Participation

On March 28, 2026, from 20:30 to 21:30, Pullman Tokyo Tamachi, a premium lifestyle hotel in Tokyo, will join the global initiative known as Earth Hour 2026. This event represents one of the largest environmental actions worldwide, aimed at raising awareness about climate change and conservation. During this hour, the hotel will extinguish its exterior lights as a declaration of commitment to protecting the planet.

In the lead-up to this global event, Pullman Tokyo Tamachi has consistently engaged in numerous eco-friendly initiatives. Beginning this March, their new offering, the "Fair Trade Ganache Sandwich," made exclusively with organic and fair-trade certified chocolate, will be available. In addition, efforts to reduce food waste through the implementation of the 'mottECO' initiative further emphasize the hotel’s dedication to sustainability.

What is Earth Hour?

Earth Hour began in 2007 as a simple lights-off event in Sydney, Australia, organized by WWF and corporate partners to draw attention to climate change. Today, it has evolved into a global grassroots movement, with participation from over 180 countries and regions each year on the last Saturday of March, inspiring collective action for a better future for our planet.

Pullman Tokyo Tamachi's Earth Hour Actions

Pullman Tokyo Tamachi has been an advocate for the Earth Hour initiative since 2023, participating through various activities emphasizing the importance of environmental stewardship. This year's event will involve dimming the lighting even further in the lobby and reaching out to guests to join in the observance by switching off lights in their rooms while visiting JUNCTION during this especial hour. Guests are invited to experience the ambience of reduced lighting while reflecting on the planet during Earth Hour.

Eco-friendly Dining at JUNCTION

At the hotel’s JUNCTION hub, a strong commitment to social issues, including environmental concerns, is evident in the beverages served. The hotel employs eco-conscious brands focused on improving labor conditions and human rights in rural areas. Visitors can enjoy coffee sourced from Rainforest Alliance-certified farms and tea from fair-trade certified Ronnefeldt. Unique cocktails crafted from upcycled wine and innovative gin distilled from surplus beer further enhance the sustainable drinking experience.

New Additions to the Menu

As of March 1, 2026, JUNCTION will also feature the Fair Trade Ganache Sandwich for year-round sale. This exquisite treat combines organic fair-trade chocolate with a delightful grapefruit confiture and pecan nuts—offering a new, eco-friendly gift option made with love for the planet.

Innovating Against Food Waste

In the restaurant FUN DINING KASA, efforts for food waste reduction are prioritized through sourcing misshaped produce and ingredients left over due to natural disasters. The chef’s creativity ensures that these ingredients become delightful dishes that excite the palate, responding towards the global food crisis comprehensively. The recent implementation of the 'mottECO' program allows guests to take home unfinished portions, fostering a culture of responsibility regarding food waste within the community.
