Curator’s statement
The Okura Tokyo is a legend in the city’s hotel scene. Over the decades, it has welcomed US Presidents, heads of state, and famously made an appearance in 007 lore. Stepping into The Okura feels like stepping into a beautifully preserved world of Japanese heritage, blended seamlessly with sleek modern style. It’s calm, refined and wrapped in a sense of history that you can’t quite find anywhere else.

The Prestige Tower’s rooms are airy and modern, with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame panoramic views of Tokyo’s skyline. Corner rooms, in particular, offer a postcard-perfect look at Tokyo Tower and the fiery sunset glow in the evening. If you've been battling (as we all have!) to get Shibuya Sky tickets at sunset, a stay at The Okura Tokyo feels like the secret hack to getting great views without the tickets. In fact, the angle from these windows is reminiscent of the now-closed rooftop deck at the Mori Art Museum, located just a block away from The Okura Tokyo. You can enjoy that sweeping perspective without leaving your room.
Beyond the views, you’ll find everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Lounge in plush bedding, savor top-notch in-room dining or head down to explore the hotel’s elegant bars and restaurants. Despite being tucked in a quieter corner of the city, you’re just a quick taxi ride from Ginza and other vibrant districts. It’s a perfect balance for anyone wanting to experience Tokyo’s energy while returning to an oasis of calm at the end of the day.
Pro tips:
Make the Most of Your Hotel Credits!
If you’re booking with me and through Fora, you’ll receive a US$100 hotel credit. It’s perfect for a relaxing in-room lunch or dinner. Yamazato’s sashimi set is outstanding, and they even serve it with hojicha, which adds a lovely, comforting touch.
Don't Forget to Unwind
Indulge in a long soak at night for a glittering view of Tokyo Tower. It’s mesmerizing to watch the lights switch off at midnight — an unexpectedly calming way to end the evening.
Need to know
