What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Bright colors and embroidered fabrics are the hallmarks of design here—it may not fit your definition of Japanese, but you’ll still get plenty of the country’s touchstones.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Tucked beside the Meguro River, the surrounding lanes are packed with multi-story izakayas, noodle shops, and retro counter bars.
The rooms
Raised tatami flooring and diner-style booth seating meet custom neon lamps and panoramic city views framed by floor-to-ceiling glass.
At the table
Lounge armchairs and high bar stools gather inside the central hub, stepping straight out onto the garden terrace.
How it began
Opened in 2024, the property occupies the top seven floors of the Gotanda JP Building, high above Tokyo's retro culinary district.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
