Sustainability Steps

Information Regarding Sustainability

Here at Kikusuitei(Ryokan kikusuitei with chinese resutaurant), we offer suggestions for a sustainable, environmentally friendly trip. For a brighter tomorrow for the planet, why not start with us.

[Two Suggestions for Guests]

Bring along your personal toiletries to avoid using disposable amenities
We provide disposable amenities in your room, however, in order to reduce plastic waste, your generosity by not using them will help provide contribution in our environmental conservation efforts.
At Prince Hotels & Resorts, we aim to cease offering disposable amenities in the future. To make future travels more sustainable, we propose packing your own everyday toothbrush.
*No monetary contribution is asked of guests.

[Reducing Plastic]

As part of our efforts to protect all life, we are promoting initiatives to reduce plastic waste, which affects marine life and ecosystems, as well as the use of environmentally and socially conscious ingredients and products.
(Initiative details)
・ Suggesting guests refrain from use of amenities, regarding compliance as contributions to environmental conservation efforts
・Discontinuing use of plastic straws and replacing disposable plastic products (forks, spoons, knives, stir sticks) with wooden or other alternatives
・Donating a portion of proceeds from plastic bag sales to the local government where each establishment is located

［Proactive Use and Promotion of Local Ingredients］

At Kikusuitei’s restaurant, we actively use seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers and fishermen. Our menus include information about the origin of the ingredients and their producers, visually appealing to guests our contribution to the local food culture. By promoting local production for local consumption, we contribute to reducing food mileage and revitalizing the local economy.

Information cards are placed in rooms to introduce our initiatives.
