The Joy of Quality Sleep: Hakuba Sleep Reset Journey for Kids

This autumn, from September 1 to November 2, 2025, the Courtyard by Marriott Hakuba will launch a remarkable travel plan titled "Hakuba Sleep Reset Journey for Kids." With a strong focus on the quality of children’s sleep, this program invites families to engage in unique experiences in the magnificent nature of Hakuba.

As Japan is often referred to as a "sleep-deprived nation", a rising trend known as "sleep tourism" is beginning to address the sleeping issues of adults and their children. Recent studies have revealed that sleep deprivation is affecting not just adults but children as well. Consequently, the Courtyard by Marriott Hakuba is committed to creating a family travel experience that encourages better sleeping patterns for both parents and children amid the natural rhythms of Hakuba's breathtaking scenery.

A Unique Family Getaway

This tailor-made plan offers various facilities and activities aimed at enhancing children's sleep quality. Guests will enjoy a restful stay in rooms designed with children’s sleeping needs in mind and participate in activities that promote a healthy daily rhythm. Additionally, sumptuous dinners designed to aid sleep, such as locally sourced cheese fondues, will ensure family members are relaxed and energized for a wonderful night’s sleep.

During the day, families can indulge in exhilarating rafting trips that allow children to expend their energy amid Hakuba's beautiful natural surroundings. At night, they can unwind with a delicious cheese fondue crafted from local ingredients to help everyone relax.

Moreover, the accommodation includes an innovative "Sleep Room" developed in collaboration with prominent sleep tech companies. Here, children will enjoy pajamas designed by Wacoal and hats that regulate temperature, ensuring their comfort throughout the night. Guests can also select their favorite aromatherapy scents from a curated aroma bar to enhance their sleep environment. For additional digital detox, electronic devices can be stored in a special box, allowing for family bonding before bed.

On the next day, families can start their morning with an unforgettable hot air balloon ride, giving them spectacular views unique to Hakuba, ensuring they wake up elevated both literally and figuratively.

The Need for Better Sleep for Children

The necessity to focus on children’s sleep is underscored by recent studies indicating that most children face some degree of sleep deprivation. Surveys conducted by our company reveal that over half of parents are concerned about their children's late-night activities, particularly attributed to smartphones or television. Addressing these issues with innovative family experiences, the Courtyard by Marriott Hakuba hopes to promote healthy sleep habits for families, encouraging better routines during these challenging times.

Surrounded by Nature

Hakuba Village, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, is Japan's premier mountain resort with a rich history spanning over 100 years. The region's breathtaking nature offers plenty of diverse seasonal activities that can cater to children's adventurous spirits. The focus on outdoor activities, particularly during the green season, provides opportunities for children to engage in physical activities like trekking and playing by the riverside, promoting healthy growth in harmonious surroundings.

Insight from Sleep Therapist Miho Mitsuhashi

Sleep expert Miho Mitsuhashi recommends that children aged 6 to 12 should get between 9 to 12 hours of sleep, which is critical for their development. With the increase in phone usage and digital distractions, fostering good sleep habits should become a family priority. By participating in the Hakuba Sleep Reset Journey, families will have the opportunity to redefine their daily routines in a relaxing, nature-filled setting, creating both memorable experiences and lasting benefits.

In summary, the "Hakuba Sleep Reset Journey for Kids" not only aims to enhance children's sleep quality through expertly designed accommodations and tailored activities but also encourages families to reconnect and address modern-day sleep challenges. This perfect blend of adventure and relaxation awaits at the Courtyard by Marriott Hakuba this autumn.
