The latest Palatial Pursuits join four bespoke experiences that highlight the best in Japanese arts and culture. Highlights from the hotel’s current collection include:
Customised gastronomic tours, ranging from a sampling of Tokyo’s popular b-kyu gurume (literally “B-grade gourmet”) casual eats with a local food writer to touring the world’s largest fish market and one of the city’s famous depachika (department store food hall) with a multifaceted guide who is a chef, sommelier and book author.
Full- and half-day art excursions led by one of the city’s leading art connoisseurs.
A romantic getaway that features an akoya pearl, the most coveted of cultured pearls, as a keepsake.
A two- or four-hour private session with a Japanese etiquette expert, providing a window on the subtle nuances of the country’s customs and manners.
Each Pursuit can be requested individually or booked as part of a stay package. Guests also have the option to request general tour guides in lieu of the expert guides for the sumo and Kabuki experiences. The general sumo and kabuki packages are available year-round. Prices and experiences vary accordingly and all are based on availability. Rates quoted are based on double occupancy and exclude taxes and service charge.
