HONG KONG, 7 October 6, 2020: Marriott International announced, Tuesday, the opening of eight new Fairfield by Marriott properties in Japan, highlighting a vast expansion that more than doubles the size of the brand in the country.

Sekisui House, a Japanese developer, has partnered with Marriott International to open hotels at ‘Michi-no-Eki’ roadside stations. The Michi-no-Eki rest stop system was created over two decades ago to provide comfortable stop-over rest facilities for road trip travellers in Japan, situated close to national parks and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
