TOKYO, March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd. and Mitsui Fudosan Hotel Management Co., Ltd. today announced the reopening of Mitsui Garden Hotel Sapporo, a hotel in the heart of Sapporo, on February 1, 2026, following a complete renovation designed to enhance guest comfort and its culinary program.

On the same day, Sapporo-based restaurant group Graphic Holdings Co., Ltd. will debut new dining venues at both Mitsui Garden Hotel Sapporo and the neighboring Mitsui Garden Hotel Sapporo West.

To further broaden guest offerings, a new program invites visitors to discover Sapporo’s renowned food culture at Kita-No-Gourmet — located within the Sapporo Central Wholesale Market, one of the city’s premier seafood hubs. A complimentary shuttle bus service is available.

As one of Japan’s leading destinations, Sapporo is known for its powder snow, the annual Sapporo Snow Festival, and culinary culture defined by fresh seafood and iconic ramen. The renovated hotel serves as an ideal base from which to experience these attractions throughout the year.

Features of the Full Hotel Renovation

1. Nature-Inspired Design Concept: “WELLNESS HARMONY”

In line with the Mitsui Garden Hotels tagline “Stay in the Garden,” the hotel incorporates Hokkaido’s natural landscape and local culture into its design. The interior features warm wood textures and curated artwork to create a tranquil oasis in the heart of the city. As part of its sustainability efforts, the reception counter and select interior elements are crafted using thinned wood from forests owned by the Mitsui Fudosan Group in Hokkaido.

2. Enhanced Room Configurations for Families and Groups

To meet growing demand from international and domestic travelers for group accommodations, the room inventory has been significantly updated:

• Triple Rooms: Increased from 20 to 102 units.
• Quadruple Rooms: 38 newly added units.
• Total Inventory: 177 rooms across 7 distinct types.

The interiors and furnishings have been modernized for maximum comfort. Featuring designs inspired by Sapporo’s natural landscape and signage made with “Yukara-ori” using traditional Hokkaido techniques, the rooms reflect elements of local culture.

3. Updated Public Spaces: Lobby Lounge, Public Bath, and Utility Lounge

• Lobby Lounge: Features artwork inspired by the Blue Pond in Biei and the Historic Village of Hokkaido’s Red Brick Building.
• Large Public Bath: Fully renovated to provide a relaxing space for guests to unwind after a day of travel or sightseeing.
• Utility Lounge (2F): A newly added space providing coffee service, vending machines, laundry facilities, and microwaves for short- and extended-stay needs.

4. New Dining Experiences Highlighting Hokkaido Cuisine: Two Distinct Dining Concepts by Graphic Holdings Co., Ltd.

Graphic Holdings Co., Ltd., a locally established company with a portfolio of contemporary dining venues in Sapporo, operates both newly opened restaurants.

Mitsui Garden Hotel Sapporo – “Hakko &”
Located on the first floor, “Hakko &” explores the theme of fermentation, combining Hokkaido’s seasonal ingredients with traditional Japanese culinary techniques.

The breakfast buffet features a live kitchen serving freshly prepared onigiri made with Hokkaido-grown “Nanatsuboshi” rice, alongside miso-based dishes and seasonal delicatessen items.

Mitsui Garden Hotel Sapporo West – “WEST Table”

At the neighboring Mitsui Garden Hotel Sapporo West, WEST Table presents a Western-style breakfast concept showcasing the rich flavors of Hokkaido through locally sourced ingredients and contemporary culinary techniques.

Seafood Market Breakfast Experience in Sapporo

For guests staying multiple nights, the hotel offers a program that connects visitors with Sapporo’s distinctive food culture at Kita-No-Gourmet within the Sapporo Central Wholesale Market.

Through this program, breakfast vouchers may be redeemed at the market, one of the city’s most established culinary destinations. Guests can enjoy freshly prepared seafood dishes such as sashimi and seafood rice bowls, showcasing the quality and seasonality of Hokkaido ingredients.

Beyond the cuisine, the market provides an authentic glimpse into the daily rhythm of the city, with surrounding shops offering regional specialties and local products.

The market also offers a selection of regional products for guests who wish to bring a taste of Hokkaido home.

SINGAPORE, March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Digital travel platform, Agoda released insights into Thailand’s popular Valentine’s Day destinations, based on accommodation search trends among Thai travelers traveling as couples. This year, searches for Surat Thani grew the fastest, with more than 10 times as many searches as last year, reflecting rising interest among couples seeking a romantic escape.

Agoda’s findings showed interest in domestic Valentine’s Day travel rose this year, with accommodation searches up nearly 130% from previous year. This was likely driven by the holiday falling on a weekend, making it a more appealing opportunity for couples to plan a getaway.

Beach destinations

Beach destinations continued to lead as couples preferred scenic coastal settings for romantic moments.  Surat Thani led as the destination with the highest growth in accommodation searches, offering settings such as Koh Samui’s Chaweng Beach and long-tail boat journeys through Ang Thong National Marine Park. Nakhon Si Thammarat also saw rising interest in quieter seaside experiences with cultural depth. Krabi remained a favorite for its dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise waters, while Hua Hin continued to attract couples looking for a relaxed beach atmosphere with easy access from Bangkok.

Mountain destinations

Mountain destinations gained popularity among couples seeking cooler weather and natural surroundings. Kanchanaburi stood out for its riverside landscapes and forested scenery, with attractions such as the River Kwai Bridge and Erawan National Park being very popular. The destination recorded the strongest growth in search interest among mountain destinations, more than tripling compared to last year. Khao Yai continued to draw couples’ interest with lush national park views, with Khao Yai National Park viewpoints and nearby vineyards offering scenic and intimate settings. Chiang Mai also remained a classic choice for couples drawn to cultural charm, mountain backdrops, and atmospheric old-town settings.

City destinations

City destinations continued to captivate couples who wanted romance framed by energy, skyline views, and a touch of seaside charm. Chonburi gained attention as the city destination with the highest growth in interest, with searches more than doubling compared to last year. Chonburi is where city convenience meets the coast, with Bangsaen Beach offering a relaxed setting for a sunset stroll just moments from urban life. Pattaya remained a favorite for couples drawn to contrast, where a quiet moment on Wong Amat Beach or a panoramic declaration from Pattaya Viewpoint sets the stage above the curve of the bay. Rounding out the list, Bangkok appealed to couples seeking iconic backdrops, from golden hour visits at Wat Arun and along the Chao Phraya River to intimate moments high above the city at rooftop venues overlooking the capital’s skyline.

Akaporn Rodkong, Country Director, Thailand at Agoda, said “Valentine’s Day remains one of the most meaningful times of year for couples to travel with purpose, and this year’s data showed interest toward destinations that offer both emotional significance and a sense of place. Thai couples are increasingly thoughtful about where they choose to celebrate important milestones, whether that means a quiet beach escape, a nature-focused retreat, or a city setting with iconic surroundings. These trends reflect a growing desire to create lasting memories through shared experiences, and Agoda continues to make it easy for couples to find stays and travel options that suit how they want to celebrate.”

Travelers planning their journeys are encouraged to explore Agoda’s great value deals across more than six million holiday properties, over 130,000 flight routes, and more than 300,000 activities and experiences available on the platform. The latest offers can be found on the Agoda app or at agoda.com/deals.
