Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya Achieves Silver Recognition in PRIDE Index 2025

Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya, located in the vibrant area of Shibuya, is thrilled to announce that it has earned a Silver recognition in the PRIDE Index 2025, established by work with Pride. This recognition marks the second consecutive year that the hotel has been acknowledged for its commitment to fostering an inclusive environment that celebrates diversity in a culture reflective of Shibuya itself.

As a lifestyle boutique hotel, Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya emphasizes the importance of creativity and local culture. The hotel’s design and services showcase the cultural richness of the surrounding neighborhood to all guests. The hotel's philosophy revolves around providing an environment where everyone feels comfortable, mirroring Shibuya's open-minded spirit.

To maintain an inclusive workplace, the hotel’s neighborhood hosts (staff) are provided with a supportive environment that encourages them to shine. The hotel ensures that all staff, including those from sexual minorities, can express themselves freely. Uniforms are offered in a unisex format, allowing each team member to choose attire that makes them comfortable, regardless of gender.

Additionally, the hotel has established original house rules that ensure all staff members receive equal treatment. For instance, all neighborhood hosts can take special leave for significant life events such as the death of a same-sex partner or childbirth, just like their coworkers with different-gender partners. Lockers and facilities have been designed with gender neutrality in mind, ensuring that everyone has access to the necessary amenities, including hair straighteners in male lockers, thereby minimizing any inconvenience for sexual minorities. The hotel also supports staff in choosing facilities that match their self-identified gender.

During Pride Month, neighborhood hosts actively participate in initiatives to raise awareness and understanding, wearing rainbow-themed bracelets and pins as symbols of support and inclusion.
