Hoshinoya Tokyo
Tokyo

HOSHINOYA Tokyo stands as an exceptional haven in the heart of Japan’s electrifying capital, offering a rare blend of traditional ryokan hospitality and contemporary elegance. A true sanctuary within the pulse of the city, this retreat weaves together the essence of timeless Japanese culture with a modern, luxurious touch, an antidote to the constant energy of Tokyo.

Located within the Marunouchi district, just moments from Tokyo Station, HOSHINOYA Tokyo offers an oasis of serenity in one of the world’s most dynamic cities. Its central location allows guests to easily explore the fascinating contrasts of Tokyo’s storied past and cutting-edge present, while the ryokan itself offers a peaceful, almost otherworldly escape.

As you step through the threshold, you’re immediately enveloped in calm. The design of the hotel effortlessly marries Japan’s revered heritage with the clean lines and minimalist style of modern Tokyo. The interiors are a soothing symphony of natural wood, stone and soft lighting, every element purposefully selected to foster a sense of zen. Materials, carefully chosen from nature, connect you to the earth, while every detail ensures that modern comfort is never sacrificed for tradition.

Here, the quintessential ryokan experience is refined and reimagined to suit the discerning traveller. Rooms are adorned with tatami mats and futons that invite deep relaxation, while the seamless integration of high-end amenities ensures that every need is met with the utmost comfort and luxury. HOSHINOYA Tokyo offers a rare and perfect harmony of authenticity and indulgence, making it as luxurious as it is genuine.

A highlight of the stay is the dining experience, where kaiseki, Japan’s celebrated multi-course meal, becomes an art form. Each dish is prepared with the finest seasonal ingredients, balancing beauty, flavour and harmony in a way that reflects Japan’s deep-rooted respect for nature’s rhythms. Paired with an exquisite selection of sake or traditional Japanese tea, the meal is a sensory journey, one that leaves a lasting impression long after the final bite.

For a truly restorative experience, the ryokan’s private onsen offers a peaceful escape. Here, guests can immerse themselves in the rejuvenating waters of the hot spring, with stunning views of Tokyo’s skyline creating a striking contrast between nature and urban life. To further enrich the experience, HOSHINOYA Tokyo offers an array of traditional wellness treatments, including shiatsu and aromatherapy, designed to restore both body and spirit.

At its core, HOSHINOYA Tokyo excels in the art of hospitality, offering a personalised, attentive service that makes every guest feel like they are being welcomed into a home away from home. From the moment you arrive, the warmth and professionalism of the staff ensure that your stay is as unforgettable as the destination itself.

More than just a place to rest, HOSHINOYA Tokyo invites you to slow down, reflect and reconnect. Here, amidst the relentless pace of Tokyo, you’ll find a space where peace and tranquility are not just possible, but deeply felt. It’s an extraordinary blend of Japanese tradition and contemporary luxury, a perfect retreat for those seeking calm in the heart of the city.

Client Testimonials

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India
Getting to Amanpulo from Manila was very simple and the beach was the most beautiful I’d ever been on; pristine white sand, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. You get your own solar powered golf buggy to drive around resort (and a butler at request). The views from the Hillside Casita were spectacular!
- Mr Wyburd, Philippines
Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
- Carruthers family, North India
We have just returned back from a wonderful trip. Thank you very much for organising everything. The transfer was excellent – for once they had perfect car seats. The villa was lovely, just what we needed and the hotel had helpfully put us as far away as possible from everyone else. The breakfast buffet was the best I have ever seen – and I am slightly obsessive over breakfast!! There was an incredible choice, something for everyone and so beautifully presented. A real highlight of the trip. Thank you again for sorting everything - and at such short notice!
- Redmayne family, Phuket
I barely know where to begin... though a sincere 'thank you' would be the best. You have organised this trip perfectly. May was an inspiring and delightful companion in Myanmar – thoroughly professional and friendly at the same time. My accommodation throughout has been superb, especially The Governor's Residence and The Mandarin Oriental. The view from the cottage at Inle Lake was beautiful and I loved every moment of being there. And here I am now on the last leg of this extended holiday at my favourite place. I could stay here for ever, the peace, silence and surroundings all amazing, plus the people and the whole aura of Vana. Thank you for much, and I look forward to speaking to you on my return.
- Ms Margulies, Burma, India & Thailand
Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India
We really enjoyed the trip and were happy that we squeezed so much into a few short days. The Burmese people were lovely and the sites were fantastic. We really enjoyed the balloon ride and would highly suggest it to others in the future. The trip went super smoothly and a good time plus learning happened for all. Yangon was nice as the Strand was quite amazing and we of course loved the giant gold temple. Many thanks for all of your help and look forward to future travel with you.
- Wallace Family, Burma
Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
- Mr Richard Stoughton, Sri Lanka
So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10
- Anonymous, India
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
Ballyfin was great - we loved it! Best things were the amount of space, it felt like you had the whole place to yourself, the history of the house, and the staff. We'd definitely recommend it. Thanks very much for all the help getting it booked!
- Mr Wyburd, Ireland
