New properties to open across the nation this summer
Marriott International, Inc. is looking to expand its presences across Japan in the next few months with the opening of five hotels and resorts across the country. Together with Japan’s leading lodging company Mori Trust Group, the properties will be opened in some of Japan’s most scenic destinations, allowing access to areas of the country that are known to few international travellers.
From the picturesque lake area at the base of Mount Fuji to the Shuzenzi hot springs resort town situated in the Izu Peninsula, the resorts collectively offer more than 800 rooms and showcase exciting new destinations to a new generation of globetrotters.
Located in Nagano, less than two hours by train away from central Tokyo, Karuizawa is where city-dwellers find refuge in eco-tours, healing hot springs and local cuisine. Karuizawa Marriott Hotel will feature 136 modern-designed rooms with a distinctive Japanese sensibility. The Grill & Dining G restaurant, dynamic fitness centre, onsen and spa will further bring out the distinctive cultural influences of this mountain retreat.
Guests can relax while taking in the picturesque white sandy beaches and mountain trails when visiting the Nanki Shirahama Marriott Hotel. Set against rugged scenery and beaches from which to admire memorable sunsets, the hotel will feature 182 stylish rooms as well as two restaurants that serve the freshest seafood. A ballroom and versatile meeting facilities enable innovative and creative event set ups while proximity to nature and onsite hot springs, an outdoor pool and scenic gardens allow guests the ability to mix work and play while still enjoying the convenience of technology.
Located at the largest of the five lakes at the base of Mount Fuji, the Fuji Marriott Hotel Lake Yamanaka will unveil stunning vistas of the iconic national landmark. The hotel will serve as a prime spot for visiting shrines and dynamic natural attractions, meanwhile the 105 tranquil guestrooms, on-site restaurant, hot springs, a fitness centre and spa plus tennis courts provide thoughtful activities for guests to experience.
Located West of Tokyo along the Pacific coastline, Shuzenzi is a hot springs resort town nestled in the densely wooded hills of the Izu Peninsula – an area dotted with ancient temples and bamboo groves. It’s now also home to Izu Marriott Hotel Shuzenzi, a 128-room hotel with interiors adorned with modern décor influenced with authentic touches.
The restaurant will serve regional Japanese cuisine and international favourites, meanwhile the Grand Ballroom is ideal for celebrating special events. The resort will also feature diverse wellness options including a stone sauna, a fitness center and spa, as well as famed hot springs, golf courses and tennis courts nearby.
In Western Japan, just a stone throw’s away from Kyoto, is Lake Biwa Marriott Hotel. Situated along the banks of Japan’s largest lake, the hotel offers 274 rooms with breath-taking views, natural hot springs and is poised to become a wellness destination for local and international travellers.
Guests will experience the region’s celebrated local cuisine in the hotel’s restaurant, stroll along the streets to witness the mix of traditional and western style architecture, and plan a celebration at the hotel’s Grand Ballroom or in the hotel’s private chapel.
In addition to accessing authentic cultural experiences and modern innovations, digital-savvy solutions have been integrated to meet the needs of always-connected travellers. Mori Trust has linked all five distinctive Marriott hotels in Japan onto their digital platform JapaTabi.com.
