Basic Policy toward Customer Harassment

The Fujita Kanko Group follows the corporate philosophy of “Contributing to the well-being of society by providing hospitable services and places where people can relax, refresh and revitalize.” As such, we seek to provide hospitality that brings unexpected joy to guests through consideration and kindness much like that given to family, inspiring appreciation.

In order to achieve this, we believe it is important to create an environment where the mental and physical health of each employee is maintained, their dignity is respected, and they can devote themselves to their work with peace of mind. To welcome and serve our guests with a sincere smile, and to build a better relationship with them, we have decided to establish and announce our Basic Policy toward Customer Harassment.

The policy is not intended to exclude the important opinions of our guests, but rather to ensure that our employees continue to work in a healthy environment in which they can provide increasingly better service. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with the policy.
