Considering Tokyo? Start Here. [2023]
Japan’s capital city is massive, with over 14 million people, but that doesn’t create an overpowering atmosphere. Instead, Tokyo is one of the world’s friendliest, most welcoming capitals, with a vast array of neighborhoods just waiting for visitors to explore.
For close to three years, pandemic border controls halted foreign travel to Tokyo, leaving its cityscape, sights and scenes exclusively to locals.
Now, with international tourists welcomed back in full, those willing to explore beyond the busier districts of Harajuku, Shibuya and Shinjuku and wander down mazes of side streets in Sangenjaya or Shimokitazawa will find their own version of happiness sipping coffee in a charming kissaten, shopping the racks of a specialty boutique or taking refuge in many of Tokyo’s natural sanctuaries.
We like to think of Tokyo as “the capital of concealed treasures”, where you can imbibe at an intimate bar tucked up in a small office building or enjoy ultra-premium sushi hidden in plain sight.

MUSTARD HOTEL — SHIBUYA
Truly effective design bridges the gap between needs and requirements.
In this case, the needs are neighborhood access, convenience and practicality. The requirements are thoughtful, understated design, fair pricing and cohesiveness in experience.
Simple yet striking, MUSTARD HOTEL delivers a pronounced “secret ingredient” to Shibuya and its newly adorned Shibuya Bridge complex, as well as parallel properties in Asakusa — 1 & 2.

Park Hyatt Tokyo
The principle of “Kaizen” or “continuous improvement in business” is a core belief driving the unwavering energy of labor and pursuit of mastery throughout Japan.
It feels quite straightforward and sensible as a singular principle, but placed into the context of a hyper-competitive market such as Tokyo, it can seem downright daunting, even to the most seasoned executive.
Bring it a step further into the intense standards and experience-driven mandates of the luxury hotel industry and, well, godspeed to you.
At Park Hyatt Tokyo, they double down on Kaizen — perhaps, even triple — as they have chosen to create, operate and maintain one of the most spectacular hotels in Tokyo.
