Located a little way from the centre of Tokyo, in its own spacious parkland, the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo has one of the most distinguished Japanese gardens in the country. For over 600 years, the area was famous for its wild camellias and the garden was designed and built at the end of the 19th century. Still surviving are a three-storied pagoda, the Shiratama Inari Shrine and a sacred tree around 500 years old.
The hotel opened in 1992 as the Four Seasons Tokyo, the first example of this brand in Asia. In 2012, the relationship ended and it was refurbished and reopened as the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo. It comprises three separate areas: the hotel building itself, a seperate banquet building and the Japanese Garden. Surrounding the complex is a beautiful landscape full of seasonal plants, flowers and trees.
Who for
Businessmen, singles, couples and families who want to escape the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and relax in complete comfort. A perfect place for both weddings and business meetings and attractive to gourmets with its nine restaurants.

Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo offers 267 rooms and suites starting with the Superior rooms, each with minimum area of 45 sq. metres. The Deluxe rooms are some of the largest in Tokyo, and all are elegantly decorated and equipped with TV, DVD player, mini bar, safety deposit box, writing desk, telephone, as well as complimentary internet access.
We stayed in a Superior room and its large ceiling-to-floor bay windows had views of the Japanese garden with the Tokyo skyline behind. The king size bed, with custom mattress, had 100% cotton bed linen and a pillow menu. There was a nightly turn-down service and also a Nespresso machine and kettle.
The spacious 16 sq. metre bathroom contained a deep bath, separate shower stall and toilet. L’Occitane cosmetics, fluffy bathrobes and a magnifying makeup mirror completed the sense of luxury.
The 24-hour room service had a wide range of Japanese and Western menus and the overnight laundry service and free shoe shine were welcome extras.
