Japan is renowned not only for its rich, traditional heritage but also for its futuristic and kitsch design, making it one of the most creatively vibrant places in the entire world. It is a place of contrasts, and this is reflected in the design style of its architecture and places to stay: on one end of the scale, you can find yourself in a simple, zen-like ryokan, and on the other end of the scale, you'll be in a bizarre hotel staffed by robots.
More specifically, we have highlighted 4 of our best hotels in Japan to show you the quality of the accommodations available through Agoda.
Tokyo's Hotel Gajoen bills itself as a "museum of Japanese beauty." It's as advertised. The hotel's galleries showcase centuries of Japanese art. The hotel's architecture celebrates traditional Japanese art forms, creating a shrine to them. The hotel's experiential nature is heightened by the presence of a tranquil river and beautifully landscaped gardens.
The hotel's banquet halls are popular for weddings and MICE events. The hotel isn't cold and businesslike. The rooms are warm and inviting, with careful attention to detail. This can range from a ryokan-inspired room to a suite with a tea ceremony set. All rooms have whirlpools, steam rooms, and city views.
This hotel is a place of peace and comfort in Tokyo.
The Henn na Hotel, which is partially operated by robots, is the pinnacle of Japan's futuristic hotel scene. The front desk is staffed by robotic, multilingual dinosaurs; your luggage is transported to your room on an automated trolley, and your room is outfitted with a helpful robot named Churi.
The concept is novel and entertaining, even if it doesn't always work perfectly and you have to ask a human employee of the hotel for assistance. The hotel's closeness to Huis Ten Bosch near Nagasaki makes it a great base for exploring the park.
Park Hotel in Tokyo is another 'art hotel' on this list. The Japanese aesthetic of "arrangement" informs every facet of the design. All of the artwork choices work together harmoniously.
The hotel addresses the Japanese love of seasons. So, art lovers can look for seasonal touches in galleries and rooms. Check the hotel's current and planned exhibitions before traveling.
This Tokyo hotel emphasizes comfort and efficiency at affordable prices. The rooms are simple but spacious, with large bathrooms and deep bathtubs.
There are 14 restaurants here, as well as a 7/11 on the ground floor and a number of cafes and bars.
We also have a massage parlor and a concierge desk open around the clock. Due to its high-speed Internet connection, this hotel has been rated highly by guests as one of the best in the city. Parents like that everything is in one easy-to-access location.
Not only are there plenty of amenities, but travelers also comment on the friendly staff, who are always willing to give advice on local attractions.
