We believe that both staying and eating should be eco-friendly (= eco), and we have named the Hotel Wing and Tenza Hotel's environmental initiatives "Tomatte Kotabete Ko."-tomattECO tabetECO-" We aim to make further contributions to protecting the global environment.
The phrase "Tomatteko Tabeteko" carries the meaning of "Let's stay and eat," and by offering a casual stay and meal, we provide a service that directly leads to environmental conservation, and it embodies our desire that "we want to protect the future of the earth together."
If guests bring their own toothbrushes, razors, and hairbrushes, which are specified for the accommodation industry by the Plastic Resource Recycling Act, and choose not to use the disposable items provided by the hotel, they will be asked to present a slice of wood made from thinned timber (a Mirai no Ki coin).
We will take your environmental concerns into consideration and use them to take action to protect the global environment. Mirai no Ki Coins, which are collected to reflect your wishes, will be converted into actual money and used to make donations to environmental conservation efforts.
In addition, the number of "eco-cleaning" cases will also be counted as donations.

Food-related Initiatives
- Food waste reduction menuWe provide

We offer a menu that reduces food waste by using delicious vegetables that would otherwise be thrown away because they are misshapen.
Tenza Hotel Sapporo
The menu changes depending on the availability of "Mottainai" vegetables.
- Breakfast buffetSome items are made to orderTo
- At the breakfast buffet, some dishes are made to order depending on the time of day. In addition, we are working on "food waste reduction," an eco-friendly activity that encourages guests to not leave any food uneaten, by serving small portions depending on the time of day.
- At our own farmOrganic vegetablesCultivation
-
We have our own farm in a section of "Work Happiness Farm Mobara Farm," which is lined with several vinyl greenhouses, where we grow vegetables by planting seeds and seedlings in cultivation beds filled with a special pumice called pumice sand. It is an environmentally friendly farming method because it is all done by hand without the use of electricity or machinery, and only the amount of solution needed for cultivation is supplied. Some of the vegetables we grow are served at the hotel breakfast buffet.
- Large Compost BagIntroduction of
- A compost pile reduces food waste and creates compost (soil) for growing delicious vegetables.LFC Compost Set" has been designed in various ways to make it easy for both first-time and experienced users to continue using the facility, such as a unique compound base material (raw material mixed with food waste) that speeds up the decomposition of food waste and suppresses the generation of unpleasant odors, and custom-made zippers that prevent water and insects from entering. In order to reduce food waste such as leftovers and cooking scraps to as close to zero as possible, we have introduced the "LFC Compost" system and have started an experiment of incorporating vegetables grown with compost into breakfast.
"Other" Initiatives
- Rental Bicycle
-
Some hotels offer bicycle rentals, so you can enjoy exploring the city in an eco-friendly way.
- Eco-friendly wooden key cardsIntroduced
- We are currently reviewing the use of plastic products in our hotel business, and have begun gradually introducing environmentally friendly wooden card keys. Card keys are returned upon check-out, but some guests take them home as a memento, and we regularly order additional keys due to loss. The wooden card keys we have adopted this time are FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), an international organization that certifies forest management, and help support proper forest management.
- Aluminum cansIntroduction of
-
We are currently reviewing the use of plastic products in our hotel business, and have begun gradually switching to aluminum cans for the sale and service of water. Aluminum cans are recycled and reborn as aluminum cans, so they are said to have a higher recycling rate than other resources.
The above list of initiatives is being implemented at some stores.
