Participating in “Earth Hour” with lights-down event! Fairfield by Marriott Michi-no-Eki Hotels at all 29 locations
On Saturday, March 28, 2026, from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM, a simultaneous lights-down event will be held in the lobby lounges of all 29 Fairfield by Marriott Michi-no-Eki Hotels, illuminating the spaces with the light of battery-powered candles.
This initiative aligns with the mission of Earth Hour, the world's largest environmental action organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). By turning off lights, we reduce electricity consumption and CO₂ emissions while providing guests and employees with an opportunity to reflect on climate change.
＊What is EARTH HOUR
Earth Hour started in Sydney in 2007 and has since grown to become the world’s largest movement for the environment, with over 190 countries and territories participating annually to raise awareness! For Earth Hour 2026, people across Australia will raise funds to combat climate change and biodiversity loss by taking part in Challenge 60!
On the day of the event, some hotels will also host experiential events featuring local resources.
