Inbound tourist travel trends and unique services of Hotel Management Japan
- Inbound tourist travel trends and popular areas
As Japan eased entry restrictions in October 2022 and because of the yen’s historic fall, Hotel Management Japan, which has 6,472 rooms in 21 hotels of various types across Japan, has seen growth in the number of inbound tourists. Particularly popular among tourists from Asian countries are its hotels located near the two biggest theme parks in Japan: Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay, a Tokyo Disney Resort® Partner Hotel, and Oriental Hotel Universal City, an official hotel of Universal Studio Japan. Both hotels have been selected for great access to the theme parks.
In Okinawa Prefecture, a popular destination in all seasons, Oriental Hotel Okinawa Resort & Spa officially opened after renovation in March 2022. The Yambaru forest, which was registered as a Natural World Heritage Site in July 2021, is enormously popular among couples and family tourists as they can enjoy various recreational activities such as buggy riding, stand-up paddle boarding, and cycling.
Only five minutes away by subway from Fukuoka Airport, gateway to Kyushu, Oriental Hotel Fukuoka Hakata Station is in a prime location directly connected to the subway station. Many guests from Asian countries, especially from South Korea, come here because of the location. At the front desk, a free booklet written by hotel staff is available in multiple languages with recommendations for sightseeing spots and restaurants. It has been well-received by international guests. The hotel also offers hands-on programs such as making traditional Japanese paper (washi) and preparing spicy cod roe (mentaiko). This is how we create memorable experiences.
- Enjoy breakfast with abundant use of local ingredients!
One of the highlights of Oriental Hotels & Resorts is breakfast. A variety of exquisite dishes are served in a buffet style. Unique eggs benedict on a croffle (croissant dough cooked in a waffle maker) and juicy beef burgers cooked in front of guests are popular on all the hotel menus. In addition, fancy dishes using uniquely arranged local favorites are served at each hotel. Okinawa gives you Taco Rice and Rice Balls with pork & egg while Osaka offers Takoyaki and Kushikatsu.
A common request from international guests is gluten-free food. Hilton Tokyo Odaiba serves gluten-free ZENB Noodles for breakfast. These noodles do not contain any animal-derived ingredients. They have a smooth texture with a mild aroma of beans.
Enjoy unique breakfast dishes at each hotel and experience Japanese cuisine.

LONGi introduced the latest Hi-MO 6 modules to their valued customers in Malaysia

LONGi’s Hi-MO 6 module series includes four series—Explorer, Scientist, Guardian, and Artist—all of which are in the standard M10 size (182mm) and are available in 72C and 54C types. The module series offers superior efficiency, safety, and aesthetics and uses HPBC cell technology. HPBC is a new generation of high-efficiency solar cell technology that uses front-side busbar-free design and can considerably improve the cell’s light absorption and photoelectric conversion capabilities by adjusting the cell’s internal structure and can thus effectively increase the module’s output power. It also retains the standard M10 size (182mm), with module efficiency reaching 22.8% in mass production.
LONGi mandates to provide customer-centric products and solutions. There is an increasing amount of customers that focus on higher efficiency, safety and architectural aesthetics – the launch of Hi-MO 6 is the optimal answer to fulfill all these requirements in the market.
There are three guest speakers endorsing LONGi’s technology and achievements at the event.
Mr. Davis Chong, President of Malaysian Photovoltaic Industry Association (MPIA) and Executive Director and CEO of Solavest Holdings Berhad, expressed his excitement on LONGi’s foundation in green technology. “I am excited about LONGi’s future endeavours in green technology innovations, in which the foundation laid will enable the development of an efficient clean energy ecosystem, making clean energy more accessible and reliable to all.”
Mr. Chin, Chief Executive Office of Pekat Group Berhad, is proud and honored to have LONGi as his business partner since 2019.
