Acrylic partition installed
Since May of this year, the new coronavirus has been classified as a Type 5 infectious disease, and the acrylic partitions that were installed in hotel banquet halls and restaurants during the
coronavirus pandemic are no longer needed to prevent droplets. At Keio Plaza Hotel Sapporo, we are working on various initiatives every day, such as holding events to achieve the SDGs and
incorporating environmentally friendly products. Among our efforts, the small animal objects and interior decorations created using waste materials have received a great response, and last year they were also displayed as Christmas tree decorations. This project was inspired by this idea and we wondered if we could reuse the partitions by turning them into tree ornaments instead of just throwing them away. Therefore, we approached Hokkaido Sapporo Technical High School, and they decided to allow us to create it as part of their classes. At Hokkaido Sapporo Technical High School, third-year students create and research works based on themes that interest them as part of their research (graduation research), and eight high school students were involved in the production of this ornament. High school students designed, cut, and colored the ornaments themselves to create original ornaments.

About Keio Plaza Hotel Sapporo
Keio Plaza Hotel Sapporo (https://www.keioplaza-sapporo.co.jp/) is a city hotel located in Sapporo, Hokkaido, based on the concept of “a plaza that nurtures Shiriwal together.” There are 493 guest rooms, six restaurants/bars, a patisserie shop, and a directly operated fitness club. By disseminating the appeal of Hokkaido, which is one step ahead of the rest, we will work with you to foster siriwar (a coined word that refers to the uniqueness of Hokkaido’s land), while contributing to Hokkaido’s regional economic circulation and, furthermore, to the sustainable development of the region. I’ll go. Rather than being limited by the concept of an accommodation facility, we aim to create a hotel that is close to daily life, serving as an urban space – a plaza – that fulfills a variety of functions such as relaxation, entertainment, and interaction.
