A tower-top Tokyo hotel with a heritage Tudor house next door for the wedding itself.
The Setting
The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho occupies the top floors of a 180-metre tower in Kioicho, Chiyoda, close to the Imperial Palace and close to Akasaka-mitsuke and Nagatacho stations. There are 250 rooms, a 36th-floor sky lobby and big windows over the city, and the Michelin Guide gives it One Michelin Key.
The twist is next door. Weddings are held at The Classic House at Akasaka Prince, the neighbouring early 20th-century residence in Tudor style, built by Imperial Household craftsmen and listed as a Tangible Cultural Property of Tokyo. Couples get a historic house for the day and a modern skyline hotel for the stay.
The day itself
The hotel's own events team includes wedding specialists who help couples pick the venue and shape the plan, and the celebration itself takes place at The Classic House, which the hotel presents as its venue for classic weddings and receptions.
The hotel's own meeting rooms on the 36th floor are small, seating around 12, so think of them for a planning session with family, not the party. Vows take place in The Classic House chapel or its private courtyard garden, each seating up to 74. Cedar's Room seats up to 110 for the reception. Ask the team about evening timings and whether a civil registration happens separately.
Where your guests stay
With 250 rooms on site, most guest lists can stay under one roof, with the wedding venue right next door in the same Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho complex. Dining runs to three restaurants and three bars, including Washoku Souten for Japanese cooking and sake.
Between events there is an indoor pool, a spa and a gym. Haneda is about 30 minutes by car and Narita about an hour and 40 minutes, with an airport bus running between Tokyo Garden Terrace and Narita. Ask the team about group room blocks and transfers.
Book your welcome dinner at Washoku Souten for the night before, then walk your guests across to The Classic House the next day, so the whole weekend happens within one complex.
