Where to Stay in Japan

In Tokyo, we highly recommend the Four Seasons Tokyo at Otemachi, which we recently reviewed, and which we reserve for clients with Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits. For clients who will be arriving early or departing late, The Peninsula Tokyo has the advantage of offering our clients early check-in (from 6am) and late check-out (until 10pm); if your reserved room or suite isn't available, a courtesy room will be provided.

In Kyoto, we especially like the boutique feel and location of the Park Hyatt Kyoto, in the Higashiyama area, although families are likely to prefer the Four Seasons Kyoto, which has larger rooms and suites that can more easily accommodate them, as well as a swimming pool.

With more time in Japan, consider adding a ryokan such as Nishimuraya Honkan in Kinosaki Onsen or a stay at a luxury hotel with its own onsen (hot spring water) such as the Ritz-Carlton Nikko or Park Hyatt Nikseko in Hokkaido.
