New Trend: All-Inclusive Resorts Winning Hearts in Japan

Japan's hospitality sector has recently seen a surge in the popularity of all-inclusive resorts, hotels that provide meals, drinks, and entertainment within the accommodation package. These lodgings are becoming a favorite choice for not only tourists but locals as well, looking to relax without worrying about additional dining and entertainment costs. The trend has seen a significant rise over the last few months, especially in major tourist cities.

In Japan, hospitality is deeply embedded in the culture, with a strong emphasis on 'Omotenashi', or home-like care for guests. The rising popularity of all-inclusive resorts resonates with this aspect of Japanese culture, providing a comprehensive, worry-free experience for guests. The integration of traditional meals and local entertainment into these packages is also a reflection of Japanese love for their own cuisine and culture.

This trend is not far removed from similar movements in the U.S and EU, where all-inclusive resorts like those in Mexico and the Caribbean have been popular for a while. However, Japan's emphasis on bringing traditional culinary and cultural experiences into these packages brings a unique spin to their offer.
