Janu Tokyo

While there are plenty of fine restaurants just a short walk away, Janu's own collection is more than worth a few meals. You can expect hearty Italian cuisine prepared in steamy open kitchens and served on the terrace, superb grilled dishes served in a private dining room, ocean-fresh sashimi, and their own interpretation of the traditional sumibiyaki grill, all of which celebrate the very best of each season. With a 25-metre-long swimming pool, two 'Spa Houses' and hydrotherapy rooms, the wellness centre will have you walking on air.

Spanning eight storeys, Janu has 122 light-filled rooms and suites, all of which have floor-to-ceiling windows displaying splendid views of Tokyo Tower and the city. They range in size from 55 to 284 square metres and the largest is the Janu Suite, which boasts two balconies, a private study, full kitchen and dining area and walk-in closet. The rooms all feature a king-sized bed as well as a spacious bathroom with a rain shower and enormous bath tub. Their aesthetic is minimalist and elegant, blending an Asian and European flair.

Take the time to explore the Azabudai Hills Garden Plaza, a multi-layered landscape punctuated by a pretty orchard, vegetable garden and huge central green surrounded by overlapping walkways. You can also visit the delightful art galleries nearby and peruse the Azabudai Hills Market. A little further afield, wander through the striking Senso-ji Temple or explore Takeshita Street, a hub of colourful street fashion. You can also take a walkabout through the Tsukiji Outer Market, sampling the delicacies as you go.
