Message from the General Manager

Our pursuit of PRIDE Index certification is more than simply obtaining recognition. It represents a new step in realizing our mission to create a place where every individual is respected and can truly feel at ease being themselves.
Hospitality begins with opening our hearts, embracing differences and showing mutual respect. Creating an environment where everyone, including those who identify as LGBTQ+ can stay without prejudice or anxiety not only enhances the quality of our services but also nurtures diversity and creativity within our team.
A workplace where each team member can work authentically allows us to transform differences into strengths, leading to richer ideas and warmer service. For our guests, this atmosphere translates into a greater sense of comfort and satisfaction during their stay.
Furthermore, our pursuit of this certification carries an important message to the community. As a hotel rooted in the historic land of Beppu, contributing to the spread of a culture that respects diversity is both our social responsibility and our pride.
The PRIDE Index certification is not a goal, but a starting point. With sincerity and passion, we will continue striving to create a place where everyone can truly feel, “I am glad to be here.”
