Holiday Charity Program at Grand Hyatt Tokyo
Grand Hyatt Tokyo has hosted a charity program every year since 2011. During the program, we offer original products in collaboration with Re Kikou, which recycles corks from wine and champagne bottles used at the hotel and transforms them into new products that support the employment of people with disabilities and offer them self-sufficiency. All proceeds are donated to Kids Earth Fund.
Established in 1988, Kids Earth Fund provides art supplies and necessary materials to children around the world who have been affected by diseases, wars and disasters. The main visual for Grand Hyatt Tokyo’s charity program features children’s artwork collected from around the world by Kids Earth Fund as part of our support for their initiatives.
