Despite earlier this month announcing the opening of two new Moxy Hotels in Japan in the latter half of this year, Marriott International’s Japan portfolio looks set for even greater growth as the company schedules the opening of five new resort destinations across the country this summer.
The new properties will all operate under the group’s Marriott Hotels brand, and collectively comprise more than 800 rooms. Perhaps most notable about the properties, though, are their varied and intriguing locations – ranging from lakes by the base of Mount Fuji to hot springs on the Izu Peninsula.
“These five dynamic resorts are going to expand the mind and spark new ways of thinking about Japan as a travel destination,” said Mike Fulkerson, Marriott’s vice president of brand marketing for Asia-Pacific. “The properties will let guests venture beyond the well-trodden metropolises and tourist hubs without compromising on modern comforts and access to technology.”
Among the new properties are the 136-room eco- and hot spring-focused Karuizawa Marriott Hotel in Nagano, approximately two hours’ from Tokyo, along with the Nanki Shirahama Marriott Hotel – a 182-room beach resort with gardens, an outdoor pool and its own on-site hot springs.
