Disabled Veterans
There have been updates from DOD in regards to this category and privileges.
Unfortunately, the use of MWR facilities in Overseas locations are also subject to the Host Nation laws and International agreements and appropriate oversight is provided to these MWR facilities to ensure polices are followed.  Specifically for Japan, these new privileges, in regards to The New Sanno Hotel, will not apply because of these Host Nation laws and International agreements (the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA)) prohibits it.  If there is a change or update to this policy we will update our website accordingly.

We periodically review our policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) between the United States Government and the Government of Japan, and Department of Defense Instruction 1015.10. We have the utmost respect and admiration for all those whom serve, in all capacities, however, are bound by the SOFA and accompanying policies set for us. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you in the near future.
