Company Info

It operates under the Sheraton brand, part of Marriott International, one of the world's largest hotel companies.

Employees work in a multicultural environment with established Marriott service, safety, training, and operational standards.

Destination Guide

Japan offers hospitality, restaurant, tourism, retail, technology, caregiving, and teaching opportunities, especially in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Okinawa, and major resort areas. Hotel work can provide international experience, structured training, and opportunities to progress into kitchen, food and beverage, or supervisory roles. Japanese culture values punctuality, cleanliness, respect, teamwork, and considerate communication. Daily life is safe and convenient, with excellent public transport, but accommodation and living costs are higher around Tokyo. Employees should be prepared for long commutes, seasonal crowds, and shift work. Foreign nationals generally need an appropriate work visa before starting employment; the employer commonly supports the Certificate of Eligibility process, but requirements vary by nationality and job category. Applicants should confirm sponsorship, salary, housing, taxes, insurance, working hours, and contract terms directly with the hotel. Maihama is well connected and offers easy access to Tokyo, airports, shopping, and coastal attractions.
