Come February 2024, Hyatt House Tokyo Shibuya will open its doors, enabling out-of-town visitors to feel at home in the heart of the lively Shibuya district, the center of modern Japanese fashion, culture and art. Here, guests can shop for the latest street fashion, hang out at hip cafes and bars, and join the throngs on the world-famous Shibuya Crossing.
Looking to combine a business trip with a spot of leisure? Hyatt offers two unique hotels in the exciting new global business hub, Toranomon Hills, in central Tokyo where aside from innovative venues and incubation centers such as Tokyo Node, ARCH and CIC Tokyo, travelers can enjoy dynamic lifestyle offerings including art galleries and shopping. With convenient transport connections to all areas of the city, Toranomon Hills is 30 minutes by car from Haneda International Airport with easy access to subway stations on the Hibiya and Ginza lines and is within walking distance from the iconic Imperial Palace and Tokyo Tower.
Serving as an urban launchpad, Hotel Toranomon Hills, opening on 6 December 2023 under The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand, offers bleisure travelers comfort, convenience and cosmopolitan cuisine – the latter in the form of the casual fine dining restaurant and café Le Pristine Tokyo, the first Asian outpost by acclaimed Michelin-starred Dutch chef Sergio Herman. Over at Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills, guests can unfold inspiring experiences that incorporate Japan’s rich history and culture with a contemporary twist from the sophisticated interior design by Tony Chi, panoramic views and relaxed service style to uplifting culinary moments such as sunset drinks on the rooftop and popular afternoon tea at Tavern.
FOR WINTER CHARM & SNOW ACTIVITIES: KANAZAWA & NISEKO
Only a two-and-a-half-hour journey from Tokyovia Shinkansen bullet train and from Kyoto and Osaka via local express trains, Kanazawa is a destination slightly off the beaten path, where warm Omotenashi hospitality awaits at Hyatt Centric Kanazawa and Hyatt House Kanazawa. This historic castle town is famed for its well-preserved geisha and samurai districts and Kenrokuen Garden, and is specially charming in the winter when transformed into a wonderland of snow-capped scenery. For an exclusive taste experience, visit between November and March for a chance to savor Kanazawa’s famous snow crab, a sweet and succulent seasonal delicacy. Seafood such as firefly squid and Japanese glass shrimp freshly caught from the Sea of Japan off the coast of Kanazawa can be enjoyed at different periods of the year.
For active winter fun, a stay at Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono in Hokkaido provides direct access to skiing on the world’s finest powder snow as well as an exclusive backcountry ski adventure with the hotel’s general manager.
IN THE FOOTHILLS OF MOUNT FUJI: SHIZUOKA
One of Japan’s most iconic symbols, Mount Fuji inspires awe and contemplation, whether cloaked in snow in winter or surrounded by greenery in spring and summer. Immerse yourself in breathtaking views of its timeless beauty at Fuji Speedway Hotel, combining the thrill of motorsports with tranquility amid spectacular nature. The unique motorsports-themed hotel is the closest international luxury hotel to Mount Fuji, making it the perfect starting point for guided mountain tours to witness sunrise from the summit in summer as well as to be immersed in the enchanting seasonal beauty of Fuji Five Lakes, waterfalls and more. Afterwards, nothing beats a soak in the hotel’s hot spring indoor and outdoor onsen, its rejuvenating water another gift from the sacred mountain.
