Press Release

Cosmos Hotel Management Co., Ltd., which operates the apartment hotel MIMARU, is pleased to announce the launch of the KURO-GO service aimed at alleviating the inconveniences faced by families from abroad visiting Japan. As the first initiative, we will be launching a highly requested same-day luggage delivery service on May 24, 2024 between each MIMARU hotel in Tokyo (hereafter referred to as “MIMARU Tokyo”) and Haneda/Narita Airport. As part of the KURO-GO launch campaign, we will be offering a sale where guests can receive a 20% discount on reservations made by June 22st.

With the anticipated increase in travelers from abroad visiting Japan, we aim to ensure that they can enjoy their stay in Japan with less stress and more time to explore. We hope to alleviate the inconvenience for families traveling with young children in particular. Therefore, we are launching the KURO-GO service to help address the needs of families from abroad visiting Japan. 

The first KURO-GO service is a same-day baggage delivery service that has often been requested by MIMARU guests. This service will support comfortable travel by providing same-day baggage delivery between MIMARU Tokyo and Haneda/Narita Airport, making it easier for guests with heavy luggage to enter and leave Japan, to travel by train with children, and to leisurely spend time at sightseeing spots. This service also helps to reduce congestion in the city by encouraging hands-free travel.
After the service is launched in Tokyo in May 2024, the scope of delivery will eventually be expanded to include routes between MIMARU Kyoto/Osaka and Kansai Airport, as well as between the MIMARU Tokyo and MIMARU Kyoto/Osaka hotels, aiming to eliminate the inconvenience of moving luggage from the time of arrival in Japan to the time of departure.
In the future, MIMARU plans to enhance services such as restaurant and ticket reservations, transportation, and services tailored for family trips to meet the needs and wants of MIMARU guests so that they can fully enjoy their stay in Japan to an even higher degree than ever before.

■The meaning behind the name「KURO-GO」
With the guest as the protagonist of the story, the name KURO-GO represents us here at MIMARU shining a light on them from behind the scenes. The image was inspired by the kurogo/kuroko (black robe/black coat) staff members who assist actors in kabuki and other Japanese stage performances. They hand over and put away props, help actors change costumes, and assist them to perform more smoothly. By making the word “GO” independent, we are expressing our intention to actively support MIMARU guests with their problems.
The logo incorporates a design reminiscent of a Japanese seal including the traditional vermillion color with the letters of "KUROGO" hidden within.
