Aman Tokyo

Aman Tokyo occupies the top floors of the Otemachi Tower in Chiyoda, a few moments from the Imperial Palace Gardens. The tower links directly to Otemachi subway station, and Tokyo Station, the hub for the bullet train network, is close by, so guests can travel on across Japan with ease.

Haneda is about 40 minutes by car and Narita about an hour. Suites have shoji sliding doors, deep stone furo baths and sunken living areas, and there is a 30-metre pool with views over the city. Spring blossom and the cool, fresh days of autumn are the classic seasons in Tokyo, so plan around them if you can.

Couples can choose a traditional Shinto ceremony or a contemporary one, with the city skyline behind them. Ask the team where the ceremony itself takes place and how many guests it holds. Arva, on the 33rd floor, seats up to 70 for dinner with a southern Italian menu the kitchen can tailor. The Café by Aman, on the ground floor, serves French food and seats up to 20, or about 30 for drinks. Musashi by Aman can be booked exclusively for up to 14 for a sushi omakase. Planners handle the detail and the kitchen makes custom cakes. Ask about the music curfew.

Guests can stay on site in the suites, from City Suites of 121 square metres up to the Aman Suite at 157. The hotel does not publish its room count, so ask the team about block bookings for a bigger group. The Aman Spa has onsen-style hot baths, steam rooms and yoga and Pilates studios, so the day before can be properly calm. Outside, the Imperial Palace Outer Gardens are close, and Tokyo Station puts day trips by Shinkansen within easy reach. Narita is linked to the city by the Narita Express and the Keisei Skyliner, and Haneda by monorail, train and bus.
