Experience a Unique Hotel Stay with SDGs Learning at Shinagawa Prince Hotel

This summer, get ready for an unforgettable experience at Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo's Minato ward. The hotel is offering an exciting and educational stay package designed for families and children who want to learn more about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while enjoying the beauty of marine life.

Educational Fun with Marine Life

The Shinagawa Prince Hotel, in collaboration with Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa, presents a special stay plan that allows families to engage in hands-on learning about ocean conservation (SDG Goal 14)
The package immerses guests in an environment where they learn about marine ecosystems through quizzes and guided explorations typically not accessible to the public. From August 1-2 and August 7-8, 2026, families can book this special experience that combines hotel accommodation with two full days of aquarium entry.

Under the guidance of aquarium staff, guests will engage in an interactive program that includes the exploration of the aquarium at times when it is closed to the public. They will embark on a treasure hunt armed with a hotel-produced research notebook to answer quizzes, culminating in enriching interactions with marine animals while gaining insights into their habitats. This unique experience not only encourages learning but also nurtures curiosity and an appreciation of marine conservation among children while providing quality family time.

The Importance of Hands-On Learning

In recent years, traditional methods of learning during summer breaks have shifted towards experiences that involve both seeing and feeling. This approach helps cultivate children's interest in learning through active engagement, a vital part of their growth and development. By introducing families to the significance of protecting our oceans, Shinagawa Prince Hotel aligns with the forward-looking ideals of Takanawa Gateway City, promoting a sustainable future.
