On this occasion, we stayed at The Okura Tokyo located in Toranomon, Minato Ward, Tokyo,Japan.
The Okura Tokyo is a renowned hotel that needs no introduction in Japan.
It is one of the three prestigious hotels alongside the Imperial Hotel and Hotel New Otani.
The original Hotel Okura Tokyo opened its doors in 1962 but closed in 2016 for redevelopment.
It reopened in 2019 as The Okura Tokyo.
During my stay, I booked the “Prestige Room View Bath Twin” for a total of three guests, including two adults and one child.
Allow me to share my experience in this room with you.

This room is located on the 32nd floor, offering breathtaking views due to its high elevation.
The scenery is truly remarkable.

In the wide living room type, instead of a sofa, there is a writing desk.
Towards the front of the bedroom, there are also chairs and a table for added convenience and business.
The TV remote control is also neatly stored in a box, ensuring that it doesn’t disrupt the overall design of the space.
The room is equipped with speakers as well.
I didn’t notice any noise from the neighboring room at all.
The minibar is also neatly stored in a stylish wooden shelf.
The refrigerator is also stylish with a glass exterior, adding to the overall aesthetic of the room.
There is a wide variety of coffee and tea options available, ensuring a rich selection for guests to choose from.
Tumblers, rocks glasses, and wine glasses are provided in the room.

In addition, you will find body lotion and bath salts among the amenities provided in the bathroom.

Japanese breakfast
Speaking of Okura, as a special addition, we also ordered French toast to complete the breakfast experience.
When you have young children, I highly recommend opting for room service as it allows you to enjoy your meal at your own pace without worrying about the surroundings.
By the way, we also enjoyed room service for dinner.
We ordered the Mixed Fried Rice Served with Soup from the Chinese restaurant “TOH-KA-LIN” and the Clubhouse Sandwich, and both were absolutely delicious.
One of the great attractions of The Okura Tokyo is that you can savor Chinese cuisine or sushi not only restaurant but also through room service.
Lobby / Hotel facilities
Next, let’s talk about the lobby area.
When it comes to The Okura, the iconic and historic lobby cannot be missed.
When the decision to rebuild the hotel was made, there was significant opposition because of how beloved the lobby was by many.
The famous “Okura Lantern,” which has been a symbol of the hotel since the days of the old Hotel Okura Tokyo, has also been preserved and carried over to the new establishment.
Another iconic featured of The Okura is the world clock.
The world clock is another renowned element that is synonymous with The Okura.
It showcases the time in different cities around the world, symbolizing the international allure and global presence of the hotel.
Guests and visitors can admire this distinctive timepiece, which adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the lobby area.
ACCESS / train / Airport Limousine bus / car parking
At The Okura Tokyo, guests have the privilege of accessing the parking facilities free of charge.
Considering that many foreign-owned hotels in Tokyo charge around 5,000 yen per night for parking, this complimentary parking service at The Okura Tokyo is truly remarkable.
It is wonderful benefit that sets the hotel apart and adds value to the guest’s stay, allowing them to save on parking expenses and further enhance their overall experience.
Train
