Hoshinoya, Tokyo, hotel review

The Hoshinoya Tokyo is a one-of-a-kind ryokan high-rise that invites you to leave the chaos of Japan’s capital at the door. Slip off your shoes and step into a spectacularly soothing hotel experience where luxury Japanese hospitality is reimagined for the modern traveller.

Location

The Hoshinoya is a sanctuary among the skyscrapers of Japan’s CBD, which has its benefits despite not being the go-to tourist location. Forget the bustle of Shinjuku and enjoy a more central part of Chiyoda closer to the Imperial Palace and its national gardens. The area is incredibly well-connected through Tokyo’s underground network, so getting around isn’t a problem. It’s also a short walk from Tokyo’s central train station, where most Shinkansen (bullet train) services arrive.
