This boutique hotel in Shinagawa is just a short walk from Shinagawa Station, offering convenient access to Ginza and Shinjuku, as well as nearby cities like Osaka and Kyoto via bullet train. The location is also ideal for visiting Tokyo Tower and Haneda Airport. Set within 20,000 square meters of natural landscape adorned with over 200 cherry blossom trees, the hotel provides a tranquil retreat after a day of sightseeing or business in Minato-ku. The lush Japanese garden, featuring 18th-century Qin Dynasty guardian dogs, can be admired from the spacious rooms, event spaces, and restaurants.

Designed by acclaimed interior designer Ryu Kosaka of Aoyama Nomura Design, the hotel’s aesthetic blends traditional Japanese elements with a modern sensibility. Whether visiting for business or leisure, guests can expect a rewarding stay at The Prince Sakura Tower Tokyo Autograph Collection.
