The Okura Tokyo, hotel in Tokyo, Japan
The Okura Tokyo is a luxury hotel in Toranomon with two distinct wings: the Heritage Wing designed like a traditional Japanese guest house and the Prestige Tower with modern style starting from the 28th floor. The main lobby features furniture shaped like plum blossom petals, pentagon-shaped hanging lanterns, and carefully chosen details such as woven fabrics and paper decorations throughout.
The original Hotel Okura was a popular landmark in Tokyo that blended modern and traditional styles and shaped local life. After closing in 2016, it reopened in 2019 following extensive renovations while keeping its iconic design and valuable art collections intact.
The hotel reflects Japanese hospitality traditions visible in every detail throughout the building. Visitors notice art and craft elements everywhere, from woven fabrics to paper windows with leaf patterns, creating spaces that connect guests to local cultural aesthetics.
The hotel is conveniently located between two subway stations: Kamiyacho on the Hibiya Line and Toranomon on the Ginza Line, both a short walk away. The neighborhood offers easy access to restaurants, shops, and sights in nearby Roppongi and Akasaka, plus public transportation for quick exploration of the city.
The hotel houses its own museum with more than 2,500 artworks displayed throughout its corridors and public spaces. This collection allows visitors to discover significant Japanese and international art during their stay without needing to visit a separate museum.
