A seamless fusion of tradition and modernity in this Tokyo time-turner
TAKANAWA HANAKOHRO, a contemporary ryokan with a truly inspiring Japanese Garden is a city centre sanctuary with omotenashi (Japanese hospitality) at its core. Step into an oasis of calm where leafy landscapes, crisp air and intimate spaces permeate each moment of your stay with an ambience of tranquillity. From the flashes of Carp in the pond to over 210 cherry trees that dot its 20,000 square meter estate – every element here invites you to slow down and savour the quiet moments. Cross the Sakura bridge and enter a refined retreat that effortlessly blends the spirit of traditional Japan with the energy of contemporary Tokyo.

The hotel’s landmark Japanese Garden is an ever-present – and ever-evolving – backdrop to the interiors of this ryokan retreat. Windows blur the line between inside and out, as each of 16 sleekly styled suites shift with the season – from the pastel-shades of spring blossom to the warmth of autumn’s tones. While classical features, such as tatami matting, Shoji sliding doors and bathtubs made from hinoki (cypress), invite instant calm. When it’s time to eat, choose from a full menu of restaurants – whether it’s a traditional tea ceremony, teppanyaki or French-infused cuisine. Not to mention the lounges at TAKANAWA HANAKOHRO’s sister hotels (as well as their pools).
Personalised experiences at the guests-only OH-SAI Lounge, such as matcha grinding, origami folding and sake tasting, awaken the senses to the rich local culture. But just a hop, skip and a swift train ride will also bring you into the beating heart of Tokyo, and one of the most iconic urban jungles in the world. Minato-ku, the district TAKANAWA HANAKOHRO calls home, is coolly cosmopolitan. Take in the cityscape from a cloud-skimming observatory. Head north to the temples of Asakusa and nearby onsen baths. Then pass through Shibuya at nightfall for a landscape of kaleidoscopic neon. This is also the time for one of the most captivating aspects of Japanese Edo culture: moon-gazing. Return to the hotel where this age-old custom is reinvented for a new age – and the Japanese Garden is illuminated by a constellation of bamboo lanterns.
