Fuji Marriott Hotel Yamanakako Receives Prestigious Sakura Quality Certification

Fuji Marriott Hotel Yamanakako, located in Yamanashi Prefecture's Minamitsuru District, has recently been recognized as the first accommodation in the area to achieve a '3 Goishizakura' rating under the "Sakura Quality An ESG Practice" certification program initiated by Sakura Quality Management Corporation. This milestone reflects the hotel’s commitment to sustainability and its partnership with the local community.

The "Sakura Quality An ESG Practice" certification evaluates various key aspects such as sustainability, community involvement, environmental considerations, and healthy employee relations within the tourism sector. This framework aligns with the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and underscores the importance of responsible practices in hospitality. The hotel has embraced multiple initiatives to reinforce its dedication to these principles, including:

• - Introduction of environmentally friendly amenities made from wood, bamboo, and reduced plastic materials.
• - Hosting an annual summer buffet focused on sustainability that also contributes to children's education.
• - Providing internship opportunities for local university students.
• - Collecting plastic bottle caps and donating them through the Yamanakako Social Welfare Council to support welfare for individuals with disabilities, environmental protection, and international cooperation.

These consistent efforts have culminated in the high evaluation received from the Sakura Quality certification program, paving the way for Fuji Marriott Hotel Yamanakako to continue serving as a leader in sustainable tourism. The hotel aims to enhance quality and social contribution as it strives toward building a sustainable future in collaboration with the local community.
