L’Occitane, a lifestyle cosmetics brand, has released the idea to upcycle empty containers as interior items, which was introduced at workshops such as events so far, as an idea to enjoy home time.
“Up-cycle” means adding something new to an old thing and turning it into another thing. This is one of the earth-friendly efforts that leads to the reduction of garbage. As one of the CSR activities at L’Occitane, we started collecting empty containers at L’Occitane stores (excluding some stores and online shops) since last year. We also held workshops to upcycle empty containers. At this time when many people can not go to the store, why not enjoy the house time by up-cycle the empty Loccitane container in the house as an interior item?

In order to protect precious natural resources and pursue sustainability, we have launched the “Green Program” at L’Occitane stores (excluding some stores and online shops) under the slogan of “Let’s begin recycling and beautify the earth” .. If you bring an empty container (plastic, glass, aluminum) for the target product when you visit the store, you will be given “Green Points” to the member’s card “Club Occitania”. From January 30, 2019 to March 31, 2020, more than 22,000 customers participated and collected approximately 186,000 containers, 15,000 kg of containers.

We are also working on the use of recycled plastic containers and the use of eco-refill. Why don’t you join us in creating an earth-friendly lifestyle with L’Occitane?

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.
