The lobby's minimalist aesthetic, with its monochromatic colour scheme and reclaimed wood accents, sets the tone for a calm and unpretentious stay.

Chronicles of Tokyo
Tokyo's history dates back to the 15th century, when it was a small fishing village called Edo. Over the centuries, the city evolved into a major commercial centre, with the Meiji Restoration in 1868 marking the beginning of Japan's rapid modernization. The city's post-war period saw a period of rapid growth and reconstruction, with the 1964 Olympics cementing Tokyo's status as a global hub. Today, Tokyo is a melting pot of traditional and modern cultures, with its neon-lit skyscrapers and ancient temples existing side by side. The city's unique blend of ancient and modern is reflected in its cuisine, fashion, and art, making it a fascinating destination for visitors.

Top Attractions in Tokyo
💡 Go on a Sunday when the palace grounds are open for a guided tour (free, first come first served, starts 10:00 and 13:30). Otherwise the gardens are quiet on weekday mornings.
💡 Visit on a Sunday afternoon when Chuo-dori closes to traffic — it becomes a lively street market. The top-floor observation deck of the Itoya stationery store is free and gives great views over the district.
💡 Bring a picnic and sit by Shinobazu Pond. The lotus flowers in July-August are stunning. Free entry to the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum on the first Monday of the month.
💡 Skip the main gate queues. Enter through the side streets off Nakamise-dori for a more local feel. The temple is at its calmest just after sunrise.
💡 Go just before sunset on a weekday. Fewer crowds and the torii gates look fantastic as the light fades. Watch for wedding processions on weekend mornings.
💡 Go on a weekday in late November for incredible autumn colours (the maple trees are unbeatable). The greenhouse is free and often overlooked.
