HOTEL CHINZANSO TOKYO

The hotel is beautiful as one would expect from a luxury hotel in Tokyo. But - it is the gardens - acres and acres of landscaped serenity - that makes this hotel exceptional. It is about 1/2 hour away from downtown Tokyo and the Ginza - and for some this may be a drawback - but it is more than compensated for by the views and the surroundings. The staff provide exceptional service - charming, helpful, incredibly efficient and still very discreet. Everyone you meet in the hotel treats you as though you are very special - client orientation is clearly very high on their list. This service attitude is something the west could learn. It makes the stay that much more special and leaves you wanting to return. Should I return to Tokyo this would be the hotel I would choose to stay at.

A friend and I went to have lunch at Miyuki. It was an excuse for him to discover the beautiful gardens of the Chizanso as well as the premises of the property which is one of my favorite in town. We had a fabulous experience, we could even be moved to a better table near the window and soak in the beauty of the gardens while enjoying our exquisite lunch menu. It has been several times I take people there and Miyuki never disappoints. The food is excellent and the service is very polite and friendly.

Tokyo is relatively expensive. We got a good deal on this hotel, approx. 270 USD (breakfast not included). Very very nice hotel, impressive, cozy, big room for Tokyo. Excellent service, fantastic surroundings (park). We were upgraded to a Park View Room without asking. Luxury-level.

What a beautiful experience! True perfection of Japanese hospitality in a traditional classic Japanese style western hotel. It's definitely much higher quality than all other western chain hotels in Japan. Garden is absolutely amazing and provide escape from hectic business city of Tokyo. Spa, restaurants, complimentary coffee lounge, beautiful interior of hotel and spacious room with elegant furniture was all fantastic. Definitely will go back. Worth every minute of it. In Tokyo, no other hotel has this kind of classic quality unless you want neo-modern, common trend worldwide.

Enjoyed my stay at this quaint and charming hotel. The welcome was warm and friendly. Customer service was top-notch. I did not have any issues or concerns as a solo female traveler. I even had mail upon arrival waiting for me which I was quickly made aware of. The room itself is spacious and the bed will make you reconsider getting up. I was so cozy in the room I had to balance spending time inside enjoying the amenities or doing what I traveled all the way from New York to Tokyo to do...cherry blossoms! I wasn't sure how difficult it would be navigating from the hotel but was pleasantly surprised. There's a train station at Edogawabashi that is quick into Tokyo station and all other points. The walk down the hill isn't bad at all but I did struggle a bit walking back up the hill. It's doable. Keep this in mind if you have disabilities or health issues. It's a steep hill. The room service and numerous restaurants were good as well. I enjoyed the hazelnut french toast. The garden, well words just can't describe all the things going on in this garden. Do yourself a favor and stay here. I have no complaints or criticisms. When I visit Tokyo again, I'd stay again.
