#1: Visitors must produce a valid ID with photograph when requested by a New Sanno official. Visitors without a means of positive identification and/or proof of legal age will not be admitted to any hotel facility. (The legal age for active duty U.S. military personnel is 18 years of age, the legal age for individ uals covered by Japanese law is 18 years of age.) Legal age for alcohol purchase is 20.

 

 

Unfortunately, the use of those facilities in Overseas locations are also subject to the Host Nation laws and International agreements.  Specifically for Japan, these new privileges, in regards to The New Sanno Hotel, will not apply in Japan because of these Host Nation laws and International agreements (the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA)) prohibits it.  If there is a change in policy we will update our website and social media pages accordingly

 

The New Sanno periodically reviews 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.
