On 18 September 2026, the MICHELIN Guide announced its latest hotel distinctions worldwide, and The Hiramatsu Hotels & Resorts Ginoza was selected for One MICHELIN Key for the third consecutive year.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our guests for their continued support.
Together with the local community, we will continue to strive to make The Hiramatsu Hotels & Resorts Ginoza an even better place for our guests.
About the MICHELIN Key
The MICHELIN Guide Hotel Selection features only properties that meet five universal criteria, and currently includes over 9,400 hotels worldwide. From among these hotels, the MICHELIN Key recognises those that offer particularly outstanding experiences, much as MICHELIN Stars do for restaurants.
In this year’s Japan selection, 398 hotels were included as of 25 September. Of these, 145 were selected as MICHELIN Key hotels: seven with Three MICHELIN Keys, 23 with Two MICHELIN Keys and 115 with One MICHELIN Key.
Five universal criteria
1 The hotel is an open door to the destination
2 Excellence in interior design and architecture
3 Quality and consistency in service, comfort and maintenance
4 Consistency between the level of experience and the price paid
5 Individuality, reflecting personality and authenticity
