Keio Plaza Hotel, 47-story skyscraper hotel in Nishi-Shinjuku, Japan.
Keio Plaza Hotel is a 47-story twin-tower structure in Nishi-Shinjuku housing around 1,400 rooms across multiple floors. The upper levels provide sweeping views of the Tokyo skyline and surrounding urban landscape.
This property opened in 1971 as Japan's first high-rise hotel and the first tall building constructed in Nishi-Shinjuku. Its arrival marked the beginning of the district's transformation from a quiet area into a modern business center.
The chapel established here in 1975 reflects how this property became integrated into Japanese social life beyond typical hospitality. Visitors notice how the space hosts events and ceremonies that draw both guests and people from the surrounding community.
The property sits near several train stations and bus lines, making it easy to connect to other parts of Tokyo. Its central location and proximity to transit hubs mean visitors can reach most areas of the city with minimal effort.
The building appeared in multiple Godzilla films, including the 1984 and 1991 versions, becoming part of Japanese cinema history. These appearances in blockbuster films gave the location an unexpected place in popular culture.
