This entry-level position is for new graduates joining the service department at Sheraton Kagoshima. Depending on assignment, duties may include restaurant and bar service, banquet operations, guest assistance, reservations support, and maintaining Marriott service standards. Applicants should be graduating in 2027, communicate politely, work well in a team, and show genuine interest in hospitality. Japanese ability is expected for guest and workplace communication; English or other language skills are advantageous. The hotel looks for energetic, adaptable candidates who can work shifts, including weekends and holidays, learn quickly, and provide warm, attentive service to domestic and international guests. Previous hospitality experience is helpful but generally not essential for a graduate recruitment role.
Sheraton Kagoshima is a contemporary hotel in Kagoshima, operated under the Sheraton brand of Marriott International, one of the world’s largest hospitality companies. The hotel serves leisure travelers, business guests, groups, and local residents, with guest rooms, restaurants, bars, meeting and banquet facilities, and wellness amenities. Its location provides access to Kagoshima’s city center, hot springs, local cuisine, and views toward Sakurajima. As part of Marriott, the property follows international standards for guest service, training, safety, and workplace professionalism while also highlighting Kyushu and Kagoshima culture. Employees may gain experience across food and beverage, events, guest relations, and hotel operations, with potential career development within the property, Marriott hotels in Japan, or the wider international network.
Japan offers hospitality, tourism, restaurant, retail, technology, manufacturing, and education opportunities, especially in Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Okinawa, Hokkaido, and regional resort areas such as Kagoshima. Kagoshima has a relaxed lifestyle, lower living costs than Tokyo, excellent food, hot springs, and easy access to nature and nearby islands. Japanese workplace culture values punctuality, teamwork, respect, cleanliness, and careful customer service. New graduates should expect structured training and sometimes long or rotating shifts. Foreign nationals normally need an appropriate work visa, commonly the Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services status for hospitality roles; the employer generally supports sponsorship when eligible. Applicants should confirm Japanese-language requirements, salary deductions, housing, transport, and relocation assistance. Arrange accommodation, resident registration, health insurance, banking, and tax procedures after arrival. Japan’s rail and domestic air networks make travel convenient, although rural areas may require a car.
