This initiative marks the latest partnership under Luup's 'LUUP for Community' program, designed to integrate sustainable transport solutions into various municipalities, businesses, and organizations.

A Growing Trend in Community Mobility

With the mission to create a transport environment that supports smoother urban transitions, Luup has been operating since 2020, offering electric micro-mobility sharing services aimed at tackling Japan's mobility challenges. The introduction of scooters and bicycles at Solana Smart INN Fuji Gotemba is the fourth installation in a series following successful launches at other Solana properties, including Narita Airport, Lake Yamanakako, and Kawaguchiko.

Enhancing Guest Experience

Guests at Solana Smart INN Fuji Gotemba will benefit from easy access to smart mobility options through the LUUP app. This technology provides convenient ride-sharing solutions, ensuring guests can explore the picturesque surroundings of Gotemba with ease. Whether commuting to nearby restaurants, shopping areas, or tourist attractions, the service promises a unique and enjoyable way to navigate the region.

By utilizing the LUUP service, the hotel's management aims to increase visitor satisfaction and streamline local mobility in the area. The investments made in these services reflect a commitment to enhance the stay experience for both tourists and business travelers alike.

Insights from Solana Resort

Aiko Satake, CEO of Solana Resort, expressed her enthusiasm about the launch, stating,

“At Solana Resort, we believe in fostering smiles among everyone involved. Our vision is to provide comfortable and family-friendly accommodations, and introducing the LUUP service enhances this ethos.” The unique style of the Solana Smart INN, featuring trailer house designs, combined with the LUUP mobility options promotes a culture of exploration and enjoyment for all guests.

Satake mentioned the positive feedback received from previous LUUP installations, highlighting improved mobility experiences, which have been termed as "both convenient and enjoyable".

Comprehensive Mobility Solutions

From the LUUP app, guests can rent electric scooters and bicycles with a basic ride fee of 50 yen, plus 15 yen per additional minute of usage. Starting from January 20, 2026, the service will be available 24/7 at the designated port located within the hotel grounds, featuring three electric scooters and two electric bikes.

Safety and Regulations

To ensure a safe riding experience, users of electric scooters must verify their age and pass a traffic rules test through the app. However, no additional requirements will be imposed for those choosing to use only the assisted bikes. Safety measures are in place, including insurance coverage for accidents during use, ensuring that guests can enjoy their rides without unnecessary concerns.

Looking Ahead

Luup continues to aim for close collaboration with local governments and organizations to enrich community experiences beyond merely providing a place to stay. This goal aligns with their broader mission of enhancing travel and local engagement, encouraging guests to not only stay but experience and connect with the community around them actively.
