About the employer

Courtyard by Marriott is Marriott International’s select-service hotel brand, designed for both business and leisure travelers. Its hotels typically combine practical accommodation, modern public areas, dining, meeting facilities, and reliable service supported by Marriott’s global systems. Courtyard by Marriott Okinawa Resort is located in Okinawa, a popular destination known for beaches, subtropical scenery, island culture, and strong domestic and international tourism. The resort serves leisure guests, families, groups, and business travelers, and operates within Marriott’s international standards for hospitality, guest service, training, and brand communication. Marketing and communications employees help promote the property, strengthen its local presence, support revenue-generating campaigns, and maintain consistent messaging across digital, media, and guest-facing channels.

Working in Japan

Japan offers varied hospitality, tourism, marketing, technology, education, and service-sector opportunities, with the strongest concentration in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Fukuoka, Hokkaido, and Okinawa. Okinawa provides a warmer, slower-paced lifestyle, beaches, outdoor activities, and a distinctive Ryukyuan culture, although salaries may be lower and housing or imported goods can be relatively expensive. Japanese workplaces value punctuality, respect, teamwork, hierarchy, and careful communication. English can help in international hotels, but Japanese is often important for local employment and daily life. Foreign nationals normally need an appropriate work visa sponsored by an employer; common routes include Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services and specified skilled-worker programs. Before relocating, arrange a job offer, visa, accommodation, residence registration, health insurance, tax procedures, and a local bank account. Public transport is convenient in major cities, while Okinawa often requires a car outside central areas.
