Since March 2011, Grand Hyatt Tokyo has strived to support the communities affected by these catastrophic disasters through monetary donations, charitable contributions and volunteering efforts. As of September 2016, a total of more than JPY 50 million has been donated and we hope to continue increasing the amount each year.<\/p>\n<p>The theme for this holiday season is &#8216;Wish Upon a Star&#8217;, as we wish and hope for lots of love and heartwarming gifts to reach the hands of children through the charity program. Grand Hyatt Tokyo works with Re Kikou, a nonprofit organization that recycles wine and champagne corks into new products, helping to generate employment and support independence for people with disabilities. Corks recycled from the hotel are used by Re Kikou to make cork ornaments and the revenue is donated to charity.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the holiday season at Grand Hyatt Tokyo this year and join us for &#8216;Wish Upon a Star&#8217;, an uplifting charity program that will help to bring cheer during this season of giving.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"christmas-charity-program2016\">\n<h2>Christmas Lobby Area<\/h2>\n<div class=\"floatBox\">\n<div class=\"imgR\">\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"246\" height=\"164\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3388\" src=\"\/en\/restaurants\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/christmas-area_right.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Lobby Area\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Dates: 11 November &#8211; 25 December<\/p>\n<p>The lobby will be transformed into a winter wonderland, decorated with Re Kikou&#8217;s cork ornaments made from recycled wine and champagne corks (collected from the hotel) and the ornaments will be available for purchase in all hotel restaurants, with 100% of the revenue being donated to support the children of Tohoku and Kumamoto via KEF.
