Grand Hyatt Fukuoka Celebrates 30th Anniversary with Participatory Campaigns

Grand Hyatt Fukuoka (1-2-82 Sumiyoshi, Hakata-ku, General Manager Joe Sato) will host online participatory campaigns starting May 1, 2026, to commemorate its 30th anniversary. These campaigns aim to look back on the hotel's journey with its guests and connect to the future. Through two projects, the "Instagram Photo Contest" and the "Essay Contest," the hotel will collect invaluable moments and memories spent at the hotel. Selected entries will be featured on social media and other platforms.

## About the 30th Anniversary Campaigns

Over its 30-year history, Grand Hyatt Fukuoka has accumulated countless "stories." Anniversaries, travel moments, precious time with loved ones – each of these has shaped the hotel's value. These campaigns are designed as a "participatory project" where the hotel and its guests together weave stories, with the guests' own experiences taking center stage.
