[2025 Tokyo Hotels] Travel Guide for Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo (Updated Aug)

The best hotel in Tokyo is Hotel Chinzanso. Its elegant atmosphere is reminiscent of European tradition. I was invited to a friend's wedding this time, so I decided to stay there. It was a great season, with the fresh greenery and especially the green leaves. From the room, you can see the Chinzanso Three-story Pagoda (Entsukaku) and enjoy the out-of-season autumn leaves, as some of the trees have turned color, perhaps due to global warming. ………………………………………………………………… ☑︎Room ・Garden view ・Sealy beds, which have a proven track record in over 60 countries. Sealy beds are ergonomically designed, so they fit your body and are extremely comfortable to sleep on. - Bed making is available in the evening. If you don't need it, just let us know when you check in. - Amenities are L'Occitane. ……………………………………………………………… ☑︎Breakfast - You can choose between Japanese or Western breakfast. I chose Western (separate venue). - The Western venue is also elegantly decorated. They will ask you about your preferences, such as boiled, scrambled, omelette, and fried eggs. - Freshly baked croissants and fresh orange juice are the best. ……………………………………………………………… ☑︎ I recommend taking a walk in the garden. Walking through the fresh greenery, you wonder if you're still in Tokyo? The greenery is so lush and relaxing that you will think, "I'm in the garden!" Only guests staying at the hotel can enter the garden [Special privileges for guests only] Tokyo Sea of ​​Clouds Normally, the sea of ​​clouds appears for about 3 minutes The large sea of ​​clouds that covers 3/4 of the garden appears for about 8 minutes Please check the website for the schedule Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see it when I went But it's a very fantastic and popular event, so please check it out ……………………………………………………………… Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo 2-10-8 Sekiguchi, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo Check-in 15:00 Check-out 12:00 #AccommodationTrip #TravelWithMe #0YenTrip #TokyoTrip #TokyoSightseeing #Tokyo

Although it is a luxury hotel in Tokyo, you can enjoy a variety of things such as walking in the garden, dining, and sightseeing in the surrounding area♡ The restaurants are all great, from Italian and French Western cuisine to teppanyaki and eel restaurants (although they are expensive) I didn't go this time, but they also have hot springs♨️ from Ito, and a pool that can be used all year round. There is a reasonable cafe nearby that is not under the hotel's jurisdiction, and an association called the Cathedral Association, whose architecture alone is worth seeing, Time flies by, and even a two-day stay is packed with fun✨ The best thing about this time of year is the real fireflies✨✨ The night lighting is especially impressive, with events such as the sea of ​​clouds and bamboo lantern decorations. If you like Instagram-worthy photos, you must visit✨✨ #luxuryhotel #hotelinTokyo #fireflies #lightup #seaofclouds

#tripmemory2022 #christmas #wintertrip #luxuryhotel #tokyo The access is not that good, but this hotel is really wonderful. Just being there makes you feel rich. It was December, so the lobby was decorated for Christmas. In front of the big tree, a small train runs through Christmas land, and the details are intricate and eye-catching. When I checked in at the front desk, I was asked what newspaper I wanted to read the next morning, and I was surprised, "Wow, you can choose?" There were decorations everywhere in the building, and the marble and chandeliers in front of the elevator were incredibly luxurious. The whole hotel exudes a sense of luxury. The amenities in the room were also dazzling to me, who was used to staying at cheap hotels. The coffee provided was drip potion instead of powder, and the amenities were L'Occitane. The bath was spacious, with a separate bathtub and shower room. There was even a waterproof tablet so I could watch TV in the bath. I'll write about that separately, but the hotel also has a gorgeous garden with historical sites within it, which is amazing. For breakfast you can choose between the buffet or the restaurant, but since we had children with us we went for the buffet. It was a mix of Japanese and Western cuisine. They cooked the omelettes on the spot. I think the breakfast in the restaurant is probably better. It was pretty good, so I'll definitely go again.

Despite learning about the cultures in Japan..the fast pace of development has always been on top of the list as the reasons people come to Japan..2 weeks in Japan is not enough..i feels like i wanna move to Japan and live here..there’s soo much to explore and soo much ti do.. these skyscrapers are amazing and so instagrammable..beautiful pictures taken here..admiring the developments and the busy people come and go from the building the whole day.. Do come to Japan and enjoy this view.it’s worth it..I’m coming back soon and I’m gonna do this again..plus going shopping and find some nice place to eat with my love ones#featuredtag #awesomepic #bucketlistreboot #tripblazers #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer

"Tokyo Unkai" is one of the largest misty gardens in Japan. You can now see the sea of ​​clouds in the heart of Tokyo! And it's not just for a limited time, it's every day✨ The sea of ​​clouds appears periodically from the morning, but the best time is at night when it's even more fantastic with the lights on. It's amazing to see a natural phenomenon that only appears on the mountain if various conditions are met😆❣️ Only hotel guests can enter the garden. Please note that you need to stay or dine here when you visit! 📍2-10-8 Sekiguchi, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 112-8680 #breathtakingview #seaofclouds #tokyohotel #trip2022

For this Tokyo trip, I chose The Rihga Royal Hotel located in Shinjuku. The address is 1-104-19 Totsukamachi, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, with Takadanobaba Station being the main transportation hub nearby. Though seemingly remote, the hotel offers shuttle buses to Takadanobaba Station every 30 minutes, where you can easily transfer to the Yamanote Line to reach Shinjuku. For shopping enthusiasts, drugstores near Takadanobaba offer lower prices with fewer crowds—no queues!—making it even more convenient than going directly to Shinjuku😉. The Rihga Royal Hotel exudes traditional European palace-style grandeur, showcasing luxurious details and thoughtful decor. While some facilities show slight wear, they perfectly complement the vintage charm. The staff's courtesy and professionalism create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The lobby's blend of opulence and comfort truly offers an urban oasis of tranquility🌿. Check-in was smooth, with attentive and friendly front desk service. Note that early check-ins are strictly after 3 PM. Staying in their simple suite didn't disappoint—the room was well-equipped with premium AA-branded amenities, and the bed and shower experience were particularly satisfying. However, breakfast options were somewhat limited, though the hospitable vibe in the dining area more than made up for it🌄. Don't miss the Tokushima Ramen across the street, open until late—a perfect post-adventure treat. A 5-6 minute walk leads to the mystical Chinzanso Hotel, where serene gardens offer a lush escape from crowds, like stepping into a classical painting. Foodies will love nearby gems like Rokkasen and hotpot spot Zo! The slightly remote location is a minor drawback, requiring frequent shuttle or taxi rides to the subway, but impeccable service compensates. Ideal for those seeking tranquility or slow travel💼. If you're looking for a cozy Tokyo base with warm hospitality and convenient transit, The Rihga Royal Hotel is a fantastic choice. Embark on your Tokyo escape today!☕️🗼

[Hatoyama Hall, Eisei Bunko Art Museum, Higo Hosokawa Garden, Otowa, Sekiguchi, Bunkyo Ward] 🏠Hatoyama Hall 💞Reasons for recommendation: Hatoyama Hall, with its English-style garden where roses and hydrangeas bloom in every season and a pond where Nishikigoi swim, still retains the essence of the ideal life and lifestyle with art collections that Japanese people aspire to. The beautiful Western-style house of the Hatoyama family appeared on the Otowa Hill in Bunkyo Ward in 1924, the year after the Great Kanto Earthquake. The Hatoyama family has produced and raised four generations of leading politicians, including Kazuo (1856-1911), who was a member of the House of Representatives; Ichiro (1883-1959), who became Prime Minister; Iichiro (1918-1993), who served as Minister of Foreign Affairs; and Yukio (born 1947) and Kunio (born 1948), who were also members of the House of Representatives. Ichiro built this Western-style building, which was the stage for the founding of the Liberal Party (now the Liberal Democratic Party), a turning point in postwar politics, and also the preparations for the restoration of diplomatic relations between Japan and the Soviet Union, which he decided to do as prime minister. The building was designed by Ichiro's friend, Shinichiro Okada (1883-1932), known as one of the leading architects of the Taisho and early Showa periods.』 🕰️Opening hours: 10AM–4PM Mon close 📍Location: 1 Chome-7-1 Otowa, Bunkyo City, Tokyo 112-0013 📕Eisei Bunko Museum 『Eisei Bunko holds approximately 6,000 art and craft items and 88,000 historical documents, including 8 national treasures and 35 important cultural properties.

#TokyoInfinityPool Tokyo is a world-famous tourist resort city, with thousands of tourists coming here every day for sightseeing and vacation. There are many luxury resort hotels in Tokyo. This time, I would like to recommend a luxury infinity pool resort hotel in Tokyo: Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo. Located in Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, there is an all-weather infinity heated swimming pool that can enjoy natural light🏊🏻, as well as whirlpool baths, hot springs, saunas and gyms. The history of Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo can be traced back to more than 6 centuries ago, when camellias and a plant called Tsubaki-Yama were planted around Chinzanso. In 1878, Yamagata Aritomo bought this area and turned it into a villa full of Japanese garden style, with mountains and water, winding paths, evergreen all year round, and red autumn leaves. Reconstruction began in 1948 and was completed in 1953 after more than 10,000 trees were transplanted, finally becoming the lush, pleasant scenery with a strong Japanese garden style. Chinzanso is not only a historic building, but also a place that combines natural beauty and traditional Japanese culture. Its establishment reflects the love and respect of Japanese nobles for natural beauty and traditional culture. In addition, the predecessor of Chinzanso Hotel was the Four Seasons Hotel, which was a private residence of Japanese nobles during the Meiji period and has a history of more than 100 years.

I had a steak at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo 🥩✨ The meat was so tender and juicy! It was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth the moment I put it in my mouth~🤤 The accompanying vegetables were also elegant and delicious, and I was very satisfied until the last bite! The quiet and green atmosphere was also the best, and it was the perfect reward dinner for a special occasion🌿💕 It is a luxurious space surrounded by rich nature while being in the city center, and the exquisite steak you can enjoy in that atmosphere is a luxury that can be enjoyed with all five senses. It was a place that I would definitely like to visit again on a special occasion. #JapaneseGourmet #Japan #HotelChinzansoTokyo

Hey everyone👋 I absolutely have to share my breakfast experience at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo! This hotel was formerly Asia's first Four Seasons Hotel, and its garden has a fascinating history. It was originally designed in a Japanese style in 1878 and rebuilt in 1948, giving it an even more unique charm. Breakfast options include American and Japanese styles, and you can even have it delivered to your room, allowing you to enjoy the scenery while dining—super relaxing. The American breakfast is highly recommended; not only is the restaurant beautiful, but the quinoa salad is a delightful surprise with amazing flavor. However, the French toast was somewhat underwhelming. In the restaurant, you'll notice local elderly folks gathering, chatting softly, and reading newspapers, creating a lively yet refined atmosphere. The Japanese breakfast features classic small dishes, and the rice porridge can be refilled for free. After eating, take a stroll in the garden to admire the expressive statues of the Eighteen Arhats, breathe in the fresh air, and if you're lucky, you might even encounter a sea of clouds. It's a refreshing experience for both the eyes and the mind. 📍 Address: 2-10-8 Sekiguchi, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan In summary, this is not just a place for breakfast but also a wonderful spot to experience Tokyo's leisure and historical charm. If you're visiting Tokyo, don't miss it!

#TokyoHotel The most surprising discovery of this trip to Tokyo is this hotel that is full of Japanese "ambience"! From the green room card to the night bed chocolate, every detail is so beautiful that you want to pack it away ~ Although you wanted to collect the room card when you were rejected, you accidentally received a cute kitten doll and was praised by Miss Stay for your nails "kawaii" The chocolate served by the night bed service is the style available in the hotel gift shop. The packaging is made of exquisite Japanese paper Strolling through the courtyard after dinner in the morning, the greenery under the daylight is completely different from the foggy atmosphere at night: the pond is sparkling, the red bridge matches the new green, and even the eighteen Arhats seem to be smiling Little secret: take the initiative to talk to the staff when you check-in, you may reap unexpected warm little gifts ~

#TokyoHotel This time we discovered the most "atura" hotel in Tokyo - Tsubakiyama! It was formerly the villa of Aritomo Yamagata, a famous Meiji Restoration general, named after the garden full of camellias ("Tsubaki" in Japanese). You must know that in Tokyo, a place where winter is freezing, being able to cultivate delicate camellias is a symbol of wealth and power! (The status is equivalent to Li Hongzhang's mountain county having friends in the Qing Dynasty. He knows how to enjoy himself.) The hotel occupies a vast area, and although it is some distance from the city, it is just the right thing to do "quiet in the middle of the bustle" - when Tokyo is crowded during the Lunar New Year, you can still smell the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers. Stepping into the garden, you can see century-old wooden buildings, antique-grade furnishings, and even the courtyard stone lanterns are artifacts with "stories". The most shocking thing is the pagoda in the garden, enshrining the solemn Guanyin, matching the red leaves or new green, the whole aura solemn and tranquil. The interior of the hotel is simply a "mobile museum": every seat and every mural is worth a fortune, yet rejuvenated. It's best for my kind of "escapist" - go shopping in Shibuya and Ginza during the day, and come back here at night to enjoy draft beer! Specially recommend the bar-exclusive “Santory Master’s Dream” draft beer. With a thousand-yuan glass wine glass, looking at the stylish old man in a suit with his female companion sipping whiskey, a second through the Meiji era noble gathering scene ~ The most surprising thing is that this is still the "Secret Land of Chinese People", the room price is more affordable than the city five stars! If you are tired of the tourists and want to try how the "modern Japanese aristocracy" lives, remember to bookmark this hidden treasure ~

On this Tokyo trip, I stayed at two iconic hotels—the Imperial Hotel and Chinzanso. One feels like an academic institution, while the other resembles a castle. Despite their age, neither feels outdated; instead, each exudes a unique charm that's absolutely captivating! Chinzanso: A Secret Garden Castle on the Outskirts Although it's slightly removed from the city center, its tranquil setting is a major plus! The hotel's garden is practically a divine-level attraction—a Japanese-style landscape built in 1878. During the autumn foliage season, the paths are blanketed with vibrant red leaves. The most breathtaking feature, however, is the "man-made sea of clouds" that appears at scheduled times each day! Thick mist envelops the pond and red bridge, creating photo opportunities so stunning they look like paintings—no filters needed! The interior decor is filled with a vintage countryside vibe, featuring floral curtains, ornate chandeliers, and impeccable service that feels both gentle and refined. The rooms are incredibly spacious (starting at 45㎡), with separate wet and dry areas in the bathroom. A delightful touch is the nightly turndown service, which includes adorable chocolates—I even folded the wrapper into an origami crane! Breakfast offers both American and Japanese options: the American-style restaurant has an elegant ambiance, with a surprisingly good quinoa salad, though the French toast is just average. The Japanese set meal is a traditional spread, with free refills on rice porridge. In the morning, you'll see local seniors chatting softly and reading newspapers, creating a lively yet dignified atmosphere. After breakfast each day, a stroll through the garden is a must! Admire the quirky expressions of the 18 Rakan statues, breathe in the greenery-filled air, and catch another "sea of clouds" show—it’s the perfect way to refresh yourself. Formerly Asia's first Four Seasons Hotel, Chinzanso seamlessly blends historical significance with natural beauty. It's a must-stay for fans of slow living and old-money elegance! Tips: During the autumn foliage season, make sure to book your room early. Arrive at the garden before 9 AM for the least crowded photo opportunities. 🏨Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo 📍2-10-8 Sekiguchi, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan

#TokyoHotel When I first stayed at the Tsubaki Hotel, I thought "it's quite comfortable, but not experienced", but my boyfriend suggested going to the courtyard for a walk. On July 9, 2024, a group of us took a taxi from Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art to Sensoji Temple, and lost a small camera We had no choice but to ask the hotel for help When everyone thought there was no hope, I found a blurry license plate photo in "recently deleted", the staff immediately called the taxi company, after confirming the whereabouts of the vehicle, and comforted us to go back to the room to rest, but half an hour later, the phone rang: "Camera found!" Things are changing, but every time I think of this, I feel warm in my heart. The misty courtyard of Tsubakiyama is certainly worth checking in, but the care of these staff is what really makes this hotel a "Tokyo Warm Nest" - if you want to experience the feeling of "home away from home", you will not be disappointed here!

#aprilblooms I treated myself to a solo spring getaway at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, and it was the perfect escape. There’s something magical about waking up to birdsong and morning sun streaming into your room, especially with a lush garden view right outside. The highlight? An indulgent in-room American breakfast. I had a warm bread basket, a fluffy omelet, steamed veggies, fresh orange juice, and of course, a cup of rich coffee. All enjoyed in pajamas, wrapped in the peaceful calm of the room. Pure bliss. Why You Should Visit: ✔ Serene atmosphere with stunning garden views ✔ Delicious in-room breakfast that feels like a five-star brunch 📍 Address: 2-10-8 Sekiguchi, Bunkyo City, Tokyo 112-8680 #Tokyo #Japan #Chinzanso #SpringStay #SoloTravel #InRoomBreakfast #LuxuryRetreat #AmericanBreakfast

The rooms at this Chinzanso are so big that they don't seem like a hotel in Tokyo! This old five-star hotel has an elegant environment, a large Japanese garden, and mist and light shows at night. The flower arrangement in the lobby is very beautiful, and various art exhibits are displayed. It is also nice to go shopping. There is Chinese service at the front desk, check in is smooth, and the room type is upgraded. The room is really big, starting from 45 square meters, with a reasonable layout and complete facilities. It's a bit old, but it's good to use. The window faces the courtyard, and it's super chill to lie on the sofa by the window and daydream every day. There are two options for breakfast: Japanese and Western. I tried both and they were delicious. In comparison, my Chinese stomach prefers the Japanese style. The prices of Muchuntang and Stone BBQ in the courtyard are very reasonable. I have eaten there several times and I still want to eat them now. There are gyms, heated swimming pools, spas, and a small hot spring ♨️ There are not many people in the whole facility, so it's nice to take a dip. The downside is that it is a bit far from the subway station, about a 10-minute walk, and it would be more convenient to take a taxi. It is more suitable for vacation, 661 meters away from Waseda University and 1.01 kilometers away from the Yayoi Kusama Museum, and the surrounding cultural atmosphere is strong. 🏨Hotel: Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo 📍Address: 2-chome Sekiguchi, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan #Tokyo Hotel

This summer, I visited Tokyo and found that many hotels have become much more expensive. Rooms in Shinjuku and Shibuya can easily cost HKD 4,000 per night. In contrast, Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo was around HKD 1,000, and the rooms were significantly larger. So, I decided to stay at this classic hotel for five nights. The biggest drawback is the transportation. The nearest subway station, Edogawabashi, is a 10-minute walk away, and it's uphill. Carrying shopping bags back to the hotel can be tiring. However, the walk is through a high-end residential area, which is very quiet and pleasant. There aren't many restaurants nearby, so you have to walk to Gokokuji Station for more options. But the advantages are countless. The rooms are over 45 square meters, with a classical decor that is well-maintained and doesn't feel old at all. The bathroom is bright and spacious, stocked with large bottles of L'Occitane products that are replenished daily. Taking a shower after returning to the hotel is incredibly soothing. The rooms also offer turndown service at night, adding a touch of ceremony. My favorite part is the garden. Stepping out onto the balcony, you're greeted with lush greenery. A morning walk around the garden is incredibly calming. The entire hotel is very quiet, with no street or car noise, ensuring a great night's sleep. For transportation, if you don't want to walk, you can take a taxi directly to Ikebukuro Station. A one-way trip costs around JPY 1,600, which is about HKD 70. I think it's worth it, as it saves time and effort. Address: 2-10-8 Sekiguchi, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo

The garden was simply beautiful. They happened to be holding the night cherry blossom sea of ​​clouds (lit up in pink), so I was happy to be able to see two different patterns, this one in addition to the regular sea of ​​clouds. It's nice during the day, but I recommend visiting at night as the clouds are lit up as well! The view of the garden from the room is also amazing, so I recommend a garden view room. The service and hospitality were also excellent, and I would love to stay here again. I would also recommend this to people from overseas! Just be aware that there is an additional charge for the pool and hot springs.

📍Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, Tokyo A recommended inn for families with children, where three generations stayed together♡ It's on a hill in Mejiro, and a little far from the nearest station (they will refund the taxi fare from the nearest station. ↑Maybe it depends on the plan) There is a vast Japanese garden on the premises, and you can enjoy the "Tokyo Sea of ​​Clouds"😊🧡 It's lit up at night, and the sea of ​​clouds was so densely foggy that you couldn't see in front of you!! We had a 1-year-old niece with us, and we were so impressed with the wide range of amenities for children 🥺✨ Starting with a stuffed Chinzanso bear at check-in, we also had a ring toss set and a drawing set to play with in the room (everything on the desk) We chose a suite room because we had a small child, and it was a great choice👍💛 The living room and bedroom were separate, so we were able to relax 💓 Room service was available for breakfast, so we ordered room service!! Even if you don't choose the breakfast option, you can order ala carte ◎ Add excitement to your daily life: 🌙 📍Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo 📮2-10-8 Sekiguchi, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 🚃 10-minute walk from Exit 1a of Edogawabashi Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line 7-minute taxi ride from Mejiro Station on the JR Lines #HotelReviews #DomesticTravel #HotelStay #TokyoTrip #TokyoHotel #FamilyTrip #TripWithChildren
