Staying with Us Means Caring for the Future: Shiba Park Hotel's SDGs Initiatives

Shiba Park Hotel (Operated by Shiba Park Hotel Co., Ltd.; Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Noriyoshi Tanaka) continuously promotes initiatives toward the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) through its role as a hotel.

Through services within the hotel, the selection of amenities, and food-related initiatives, the hotel has been practicing sustainability in a way that naturally fits into the daily lives of its guests.

As part of these efforts, Shiba Park Hotel will exhibit at “mottECO FESTA 2026,” an event aimed at promoting awareness of food waste reduction, to be held on July 27, 2026 (Mon.).

“MottECO” is an initiative that encourages guests to take leftover food home at their own risk, and is recognized as an action to reduce food waste recommended by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment, Consumer Affairs Agency, and Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.

At Shiba Park Hotel, mottECO is currently implemented for banquet services. With careful guidance for guests and thorough attention to safety, the hotel promotes this initiative as a way to encourage everyday choices that avoid food waste.

At the event, the hotel will share these practical efforts and results from its frontline operations with visitors.

The following are some of the key SDGs initiatives undertaken by Shiba Park Hotel.

Taking a Step Toward Reducing Plastic with the Power of Bamboo

Adoption of sustainable items in guest rooms (12 bamboo-based amenities)

At Shiba Park Hotel, sustainable materials such as bamboo are actively incorporated into in-room amenities and equipment. Bamboo is a renewable resource that grows in just 3 to 4 years, offering excellent biodegradability as well as natural antibacterial properties, making it an environmentally friendly material.

Currently, a total of 12 items have been replaced with bamboo alternatives, including toothbrushes, room key cards, shoehorns, brushes, bathroom bins, trash bins (two types), hair dryer stands, amenity boxes, notepad holders, tissue boxes, hangers, and ballpoint pens. These efforts contribute to reducing plastic waste. The organic bamboo toothbrushes, in particular, are introduced as items that consider both the environment and human health without the use of chemical agents.

A Cup of Hospitality Returning to Nature

Introducing USDA-certified organic tea “Art of Tea” in all guest rooms

The tea served in guest rooms is “Art of Tea,” which holds USDA certification and is made with over 95% organic ingredients.

Respecting the natural aroma and flavor of tea, the tea bags use biodegradable eco pyramid sachets. After use, they naturally return to the environment, minimizing environmental impact.

These efforts are designed to allow guests to experience sustainable choices even during their stay.

A Bath Experience Gentle on Both People and the Environment

Organic amenities “Millennium Organics Blue Label”

In-room bath amenities feature “Millennium Organics Blue Label” (made in Italy), formulated with over 90% plant-derived ingredients.

Free from synthetic fragrances and harsh preservatives, the formulation is designed to reduce environmental impact. It is gentle on the skin while also considering its effect on the environment after use, supporting sustainable hotel operations.
