Action Themes

In 1999, with the aim of providing services that exceed our guests’ expectations during their stay at the Imperial Hotel, we launched “Only at the Imperial.” The pillars of these activities are our Code of Conduct and nine action themes: Greetings, Cleanliness, Personal Appearance, Gratitude, Attentiveness, Humility, Knowledge, Ingenuity, and Challenge.

These nine action themes are the first step in providing an "Only at the Imperial" experience for our guests, and we ensure an awareness and understanding of the Code of Conduct among each and every employee.

Origin of our Corporate Symbol

Over 100 years ago, Japan was an exotic land reached after a long voyage across the seven seas. The lion, the king of beasts, steering the rudder, was chosen as the symbol of our wish to provide the best hospitality to our customers after their long voyage to Japan. It is said that this symbol was first used at the end of the Meiji period, in the early years of the 20th century.
