Shark Expands Heatstroke Prevention and Comfortable Environments to 65 Facilities Nationwide for a ‘Summer Without Compromise’

Shark Supports Heatstroke Prevention and Comfortable Environments in 65 Facilities Nationwide

SharkNinja LLC is expanding its efforts to mitigate the burden of heat during outdoor activities and leisure in Japan, where scorching summers have become the norm. The company has partnered with 65 facilities and businesses nationwide, including hotels, commercial facilities, and leisure destinations, to provide comfortable environments for visitors and guests, and to implement heat countermeasures for on-site staff.

This initiative focuses on deploying Shark fan products in areas where people are most susceptible to heat-related challenges, such as queues, transit routes, activity participation zones, and outdoor work sites. The goal is to prevent a decline in satisfaction and experience value due to heat, enhance the overall experience for visitors and guests, and improve working conditions for staff, thereby establishing a new standard of a “summer without compromise” across Japan.

Background: Shark’s Challenge to Enjoy Summer Positively Amidst Intense Heat

In recent years, Japan has experienced record-breaking heatwaves, leading to an increase in people refraining from outdoor excursions and leisure activities during the summer. A 2025 survey on intense heat conducted by the Halmek Ikikata Jozu Research Institute found that approximately 60% (57.2%) of respondents reported reduced outdoor activity due to the heat, and nearly one in three (28.9%) canceled trips or outings. This highlights the significant impact of intense heat on people’s behavior, consumption, and overall enjoyment of summer.

Particularly in settings such as theme parks, events, hotels, and sports spectating, heat-related issues in scenarios like queuing, moving, and waiting have been identified as factors contributing to decreased satisfaction and loss of experience value.
