  "account": "An increasing number of hotels in Japan are offering sleep tourism experiences, designed to promote high-quality and restful sleep. The trend, which originated abroad years ago, allows hotels to attract new health-conscious guests. Hotel 1899 Tokyo, situated in Shimbashi business district, offers a Totono-ne sleep retreat plan, which involves answering questions to determine sleep type and receiving a customized blend of tea. Each guest room at the hotel is equipped with high-performance pillows, bath salts, and an additional cup of tea before bedtime. Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, a luxury hotel in Bunkyo Ward, introduced a sleep package two years ago that measures guests' brain waves during sleep and provides advice from doctors on-site. Resort areas are also seeing a growing number of hotels implementing sleep-promoting plans, such as the Malibu Hotel in Kanagawa Prefecture, which offers a personalized Sleep Well Stay plan with customized mattresses and a sea-side environment to aid sleep.",
