Embrace Sustainable Living at Shinjuku Washington Hotel
The Shinjuku Washington Hotel, located in Tokyo's bustling Shinjuku district, has once again launched its innovative
Agricultural Support CO2 Zero Stay® Plan, starting July 1, 2026. This plan allows guests to partake in an eco-friendly accommodation experience that effectively offsets the carbon emissions generated during their stay. This initiative not only provides a unique lodging experience but also contributes positively to the agricultural sector by utilizing J-Credits derived from sustainable farming practices.
Unique Benefits of the CO2 Zero Stay Plan
Guests opting for this plan will enjoy various exciting benefits. Upon check-in, they will receive a special gift: a 2-cup serving of
Hotaru no Sato rice, which is renowned for its premium quality and produced in Niigata using sustainable farming techniques. Also included is an
Offset Stay Certificate, confirming their contribution towards reducing greenhouse gases.
Discover the Hotaru no Sato Rice
The
Hotaru no Sato rice, grown in the fertile farmlands of Joetsu, Niigata, is a standout example of environmentally friendly agriculture. This rice is cultivated using a method that extends the drying period of waterlogged soil, which plays a significant role in reducing methane emissions—a potent greenhouse gas. Enjoy a bowl of this delicious grain, characterized by its glistening appearance, excellent texture, and natural sweetness, during the hotel's breakfast. For a limited time, guests can indulge in freshly cooked Hotaru no Sato rice at the hotel’s dining venues.
A Commitment to Agriculture and Sustainability
The
CO2 Zero Stay Plan is designed to combat challenges in the agricultural sector, including decreasing numbers of farmers and an aging population. By investing in projects that mitigate carbon emissions, the hotel aims to promote sustainable food systems alongside offering a unique travel experience. Each booking of the CO2 Zero Stay Plan supports the creation and circulation of agricultural J-Credits, effectively providing new income sources for farmers and contributing to the balance of environmental sustainability and economic growth.
Enhanced Dining Options
During the period from July 1 to September 30, 2026, guests will have the opportunity to taste
Hotaru no Sato rice as part of their breakfast, served at the hotel’s Manhattan Table or Teppanyaki Fujita venue. Each location showcases freshly prepared dishes that highlight the rich tastes of Niigata’s rice, prepared with care to enhance its natural qualities.
