Ibis Styles Sapporo (Location: Sapporo, Hokkaido; General Manager: Masaharu Morita) and Mercure Sapporo (Location: Sapporo, Hokkaido; General Manager: Christopher Carswell), both part of AccorHotels, which operates 5,700 hotels in over 110 countries worldwide, will conduct a trash pickup in the Susukino and Nakajima Park areas from 2 PM on Monday, April 6, 2026.
As the snowmelt progresses in Sapporo, trash such as paper packs, empty bottles, and cigarette butts are becoming noticeable along roadsides and around street trees. This situation is also observed in Susukino and Nakajima Park, popular areas visited by many tourists.
In response, Ibis Styles Sapporo (Minami 8-jo) and Mercure Sapporo (Minami 4-jo), located at both the north and south ends of the Susukino and Nakajima Park areas, will carry out a cleaning activity with approximately 20 employees from both hotels, hoping that visitors can enjoy spring Sapporo a little more comfortably.
With many inbound tourists visiting Japan with the impression that "Japanese cities are clean," both hotels began this initiative in April 2025, driven by the desire for them to enjoy Susukino and Nakajima Park more comfortably. This activity has been carried out in June, October, and November as well, making this the fifth time.
Comment from General Manager Morita: "I hope many people will visit the clean Susukino and Nakajima Park and comfortably enjoy the upcoming spring. We also want to contribute to this by first cleaning the city with our own hands."
