Marriott International has signed an agreement with Japanese real estate developer, Sekisui House, to open 11 new Fairfield by Marriott hotels across five Japanese prefectures – Hokkaido, Hyogo, Okayama, Hiroshima, and Kagoshima.

The agreement expands the collaboration with Sekisui House for the Michi-no-Eki project, adding on to the 15 Fairfield by Marriott hotels signed in 2018. All properties are anticipated to open by late 2022.

Ranging in size from around 50 to 100 guestrooms, each Fairfield by Marriott hotel will boast public areas serving as a flexible social space for guests to connect with other travellers or simply to relax.

Three hotels are expected to open by early 2022: Fairfield by Marriott Hokkaido Eniwa with 101 rooms, the 72-key Fairfield by Marriott Hokkaido Naganuma, and Fairfield by Marriott Hokkaido Minamifurano with 72 rooms.

The 78-key Fairfield by Marriott Hiroshima Sera will open by mid-2022, while the 96-room Fairfield by Marriott Kagoshima Tarumizu and the Fairfield by Marriott Kagoshima Osumi with 51 rooms are slated to open by late 2022.

Over in Okayama, two hotels are set to open by late 2022: Fairfield by Marriott Okayama Hiruzen with 96 rooms, and Fairfield by Marriott Okayama Tsuyama with 75 rooms.

Hyogo will welcome three of the brand’s hotels by late 2022: the 99-key Fairfield by Marriott Hyogo Minamiawaji, Fairfield by Marriott Hyogo Kannabe with 73 rooms, and the Fairfield by Marriott Hyogo Yabu with 87 rooms.
