ANA InterContinental Tokyo
ANA InterContinental Tokyo has stood as a landmark of luxury in the Japanese capital for over 35 years, welcoming guests since its opening in 1986. Located in Akasaka—just a five-minute walk from Tameike-Sanno Station—the hotel offers effortless access to Tokyo Tower, the Imperial Palace, Ginza’s boutiques, and Roppongi’s nightlife.
In 2024, the property completed a large-scale renovation of nearly 90% of its rooms, unveiling 60 new origami-inspired Club InterContinental Mizu Suites and refurbishing its signature dining venues: Cascade Cafe, the bright all-day buffet; the sophisticated Atrium Lounge; and the Geneva Lobby Bar.
Together with thirteen restaurants and bars—ranging from Unkai Japanese Restaurant to The Steakhouse and Brewer’s Coffee & Bar—these refreshed spaces showcase the hotel’s commitment to modern elegance and refined Japanese hospitality.

The live roast-beef carving, paired with Hokkaido yama-wasabi, remains a signature draw, while seasonally themed buffets (like the current Hokkaido Farm & Meat event) keep the menu fresh.
Beyond simply tasting authentic flavors, guests can watch and learn diverse cooking techniques as chefs showcase cultural traditions at their counters.

Born and raised in Costa Rica, I started living in Tokyo from college. I love traveling within Japan & around the world. Since I wasn’t born in Japan, I know the cultural impact that you can get when visiting Japan for the first time and what you might be worried about before your trip. And I’ve lived long enough to somewhat understand the nuances of the Japanese culture that make this country such an attractive place to visit. Hopefully I can provide to you both the information you’re looking for and the information you didn’t know you needed to know.
