One of the top must-dos in Japan is to stay in a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn). While ryokans are usually located out of the capital, Hoshinoya Tokyo will surprise you with its urban location right smack in the heart of the metropolis. As the fifth and latest ryokan hotel operated by Hoshino Resorts since July 2016, this is Tokyo’s first high-rise ryokan, located between Tokyo Station and Imperial Palace.

Inspired by the concept of a “treasure box”, the Hoshinoya building stands out amongst conventional office buildings in the area. Pass through the traditional Japanese door made of natural hiba wood and remove your shoes in the genkan (entrance). Travel back in time to the bygone era with traditional decor comprising tatami, washi paper and aromatic Japanese woods that makes you forget you are in Japan’s bustling capital.

The best part of the stay has to be a soak in the outdoor hot spring bath located on the top floor. In July 2014, the natural Otemachi hot spring was discovered at the exact spot where the ryokan stands today. Gentle on the skin, its highly alkaline waters help to relieve fatigue and improve blood circulation. Do not worry about privacy as the open-air bath is enclosed by walls. Enjoy unobstructed views of the sky and count your lucky stars (literally) while relaxing in the bath. Seize the special experience of staying in a luxury ryokan in Tokyo’s prime location at Hoshinoya!
