Overview

Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo gives you a rare garden stay in the middle of the city. Set in Bunkyo, an area known for history and green spaces, the hotel surrounds you with a large Japanese garden, seasonal flowers, waterfalls, bridges, and the signature Tokyo Sea of Clouds mist display.

This is a strong choice when you want a refined Tokyo stay with more than just a room. You can wake to garden or city views, dine at Japanese and Western restaurants, enjoy YU, THE SPA with natural hot spring water from Ito in Izu, and walk through a historic garden connected to more than 700 years of local history. The atmosphere feels elegant and calm, but the location still keeps you within reach of central Tokyo.
