Reducing Plastic Waste: ‘Water Stand’ Now Being Installed at Hotels Nationwide
This article was originally published on September 13, 2021, and some information may now be outdated.
As part of our efforts to reduce plastic waste, we are now installing “Water Stand” water dispensers directly connected to the tap and offering original hotel tumblers for sale.
These water dispensers are available 24 hours a day. We encourage guests to use the original hotel tumblers with them, aiming to reduce the number of plastic bottles used inside our hotels.
As plastic waste reduction becomes a global issue, “Water Stand” a bottle-free, tap-connected water system, is drawing attention.
LIVELY HOTELS has installed Water Stands at six locations: slash kawasaki, ESTINATE HOTEL NAHA, The Millennials Shibuya, The Millennials Kyoto, HOTEL GRAPHY NEZU, and THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI.
We plan to expand this initiative to all hotels over time.
ESTINATE HOTEL NAHA × HOTEL GRAPHY NEZU × Hydro Flask Collaboration Water Bottle 16oz (473ml)
Colors: Cobalt / Carnation / Olive. Price: ¥4,180 (tax included)
ESTINATE HOTEL NAHA and HOTEL GRAPHY NEZU now offer original water bottles made in collaboration with Hydro Flask.
We encourage you to join us in using your own bottle and enjoy a plastic bottle-free, eco-friendly hotel stay.
In addition, slash kawasaki offers original stainless steel tumblers (¥1,800 tax included), while The Millennials Shibuya and The Millennials Kyoto sell original bottle-style tumblers (¥1,500 tax included).
Each LIVELY HOTELS property features its own unique tumbler design.

What is a Water Stand?
Water Stand is a tap-connected water dispenser that replaces the traditional bottled water delivery systems.
It provides safe, clean drinking water anytime without the need for deliveries or single-use plastic containers.
This system is especially supported by families, companies working toward SDGs, and universities.
What is Hydro Flask?
Hydro Flask was born in Bend, Oregon—a town surrounded by nature and rich in water sources, where outdoor life and craft beer are a big part of the culture.
People go hiking before work, sip coffee while enjoying the view, and after work, gather around a barbecue to share burgers and beers.
Camping and fishing are weekend traditions.
They never compromise on fun, work—or hydration.
That spirit is what created Hydro Flask®.
