On September 20, 2026, Mercure Wakayama Kushimoto Resort & Spa—overlooking the rich nature of Honshu's southernmost tip and the magnificent Pacific Ocean—was officially awarded the international environmental certification, "Green Key."
Notably, this achievement marks the first time a hotel in Wakayama Prefecture has received this certification. The hotel received high praise for its advanced initiatives in reducing environmental impact, conserving energy and water resources, and practicing sustainable hotel management in harmony with the local community, all while offering scenic views of the famous "Hashigui-iwa" rocks, hot spring baths, and an all-inclusive stay.
Congratulations to Mercure Wakayama Kushimoto Resort & Spa on advancing sustainable tourism and earning Wakayama Prefecture's very first Green Key certification!
