Nestled in the heart of Japan’s vibrant capital, The Okura Tokyo redefines luxury hospitality by seamlessly blending a rich heritage with contemporary elegance. This iconic landmark property, recently reimagined with meticulous care, invites discerning travellers to experience Tokyo’s most exclusive and culturally immersive hotel.
A Landmark Reimagined
Established in 1962 and celebrated for its timeless Japanese modernist design, The Okura Tokyo has undergone an exquisite transformation. The redesign honours the hotel’s architectural legacy – preserving its elegant, minimalist lines and traditional craftsmanship – while elevating guest comfort with modern luxury and technology. This balance creates a sanctuary where classic Japanese aesthetics meet sophisticated innovation, embodying the spirit of omotenashi – thoughtful, heartfelt hospitality. The Okura Tokyo is also proud to be the only “grand hotel” in Tokyo with more than 500 guest rooms to have achieved the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star award, reaffirming its standing as a landmark of luxury and excellence.
Comprising two distinct wings, the Okura Prestige Tower (368 rooms) and the Okura Heritage Wing (140 rooms), the former, standing at 41 stories, boasts state-of-the-art banquet and convention facilities and panoramic city views from the 28th floor onward. The latter, a 17-story structure, preserves authentic elements inherited from the former Hotel Okura, such as the iconic Wisteria Chandelier and the Thirty-six Immortals of Poetry wall mural, while facing the Okura Garden and embodying serene Japanese beauty and elegance. With a total of 508 rooms, the two wings provide diverse options while ensuring impeccable Japanese-style hospitality and the highest standards of comfort and luxury.
Prime Location: Tokyo’s Cultural Heart
Situated in Minato-ku, the hotel stands at the crossroads of Japan’s rich history and dynamic present. Surrounded by serene gardens and landmarks such as the National Art Centre, Roppongi, and historic Akasaka, guests enjoy unparalleled access to Tokyo’s cultural, political, and entertainment hubs. Despite its centrality, The Okura Tokyo offers a tranquil oasis amid the city’s vibrant energy – a perfect blend of convenience and calm.
Meticulous Amenities and Unique Details
Heritage Wing offers serene views facing the Okura Garden. Guests indulge in authentic dining, tea ceremonies, and spa treatments inspired by traditional Japanese wellness. Every detail – from handcrafted floral arrangements and origami gifts to curated in-room art – reflects an uncompromising dedication to uniqueness.
Unlike other hotels where flower arrangements in the lobby are usually done at night, at The Okura Tokyo the arrangements are intentionally prepared every other Tuesday morning, allowing guests to watch and enjoy the creative process live.
Gastronomy: A Culinary Journey
The Okura Tokyo offers five restaurants, including an all-day dining venue, serving Japanese, French, teppanyaki, and Chinese cuisine. At Yamazato, the hotel’s renowned Japanese restaurant, newly appointed Grand Chef Akihiro Omori continues a globally admired legacy of haute Japanese dining.
A highlight of the culinary journey is Okura Beef, the hotel’s own Wagyu, sourced from Tajima cows raised sustainably on Matsunaga Ranch in Shimane Prefecture. With its delicate sweetness, rich umami, and low melting point, Okura Beef is featured at Teppanyaki Sazanka, the Main BarOrchid Bar, Bar & Lounge Starlight, and delicatessen Orchid SWEETS & DELI. Purchased whole, it ensures every part is used, underscoring the hotel’s commitment to sustainability
A Gateway to Culture
More than a hotel, The Okura Tokyo is a gateway to Japan’s cultural tapestry. Guests access private Noh theatre performances, artisan-led craft workshops, and tailored cultural experiences. Personal cultural concierges connect guests to rare and authentic experiences across Tokyo, making each stay deeply enriching.
The Okura Lobby Symbolic Design Tour highlights the architectural legacy of Mr. Taniguchi, continued across two generations, and offers guests the opportunity to experience his iconic design through guided visits. Guests can also enjoy the serenity of a traditional Tea Ceremony at Chosho-an, or relax at Okura Fitness & Spa, which offers panoramic views and features one of Japan’s largest indoor pools, measuring 25m with five lanes.
Art and Legacy
Founded by Mr. Kihachiro Okura in the early 20th century, the Okura legacy includes the Okura Museum of Art, established by himself in 1917 to preserve Japanese artworks and promote cultural development. Kihachiro’s extensive collection was donated with land and funds to safeguard Japan’s artistic heritage.
The Okura Garden and Museum
The 13,000-square-meter Okura Garden offers a public oasis in the Toranomon district, while the Okura Museum of Art—Japan’s first private art museum, founded in 1917 – anchors the entrance square. Showcasing National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties, the museum invites visitors to explore Japan’s rich cultural heritage.
