Nippon Hotel Co., Ltd. (Nishi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku; President: Hiroyuki Mitsubayashi) has produced an original animation video aimed at reducing the risk of fire accidents caused by smoke or ignition of mobile batteries, which has become a social issue in recent years. The video will be released sequentially starting June 1, 2026, within the hotels operated by the company, on its website, and on social media. In addition to traditional text-based guidance, this video visualizes 'specific dangerous scenes' that are difficult to convey through text alone, intuitively communicating risks to domestic and international guests. It also informs guests of the policy that staff may take safety measures (such as moving the device or stopping charging) if abnormal heat or swelling is detected, thereby strengthening the approach to accident prevention. As a member of the JR East Group, the company places 'safety' as its top management priority and makes delivering 'peace of mind' to all guests the foundation of all its services. The introduction of this video is part of a steady effort to prioritize guest safety against fire risks that change with the times.
