Why Sleep Tourism Is Booming in Japan

Sleep tourism is a new type of travel that lets guests relax by focusing on better sleep, offering an alternative way to unwind during a vacation.

In Japan, hotels such as Hotel 1899 Tokyo, Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo and Malibu Hotel have built sleep‑focused packages. According to Kyodo News, Hotel 1899 Tokyo combines tea ceremonies and relaxation, Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo uses sleep‑monitoring devices to give guests insight into their sleeping patterns, and Malibu Hotel provides bedding that matches each guest’s personal sleep habits, while many properties also serve calming drinks and offer personalized bedding.

Tourism experts say the growing interest reflects rising demand for wellness experiences, as more travelers look for ways to improve their physical and mental well‑being while on holiday.

National Geographic reports that sleep tourism is gaining traction because travelers increasingly want trips that prioritize rest and better sleep, ranging from dedicated sleep retreats to wellness stays designed for relaxation.

A report by Fortune Business Insights estimated the global sleep tourism market at US$84.65 billion in 2025 and projects it will reach US$265.85 billion by 2034, growing at a compound annual rate of 13.56 %.
