Tokyo is known for its plethora of activities, and there is something for everyone to enjoy here. Here are some of the hotel's recommendations to discover the true local's Tokyo. Our concierge is able to make arrangements only for hotel guests.

Experience the traditional crafts Tokyo

 

A once if a lifetime opportunity - Meet a Geisha -

Today, there are limited opportunities to catch a glimpse of Geisha gathering, known as 'Tokyo Rokkagai' - one being in Akasaka. There are also a few restaurants where you can watch a Geisha performing traditional entertainment and play historic games as you enjoy your meal, bringing the Edo period to the present day.

 

Try Japanese cut glass - Edo Kiriko -

'Edo Kiriko' is the general term used for faceted glass products produced in Edo (Tokyo). The craft dates back to the end of the Edo period, and is still present in pockets of Japan today. Unlike 'Satsuma Kiriko', which has a soft cut with a bright shine originally from Kagoshima Prefecture, Edo Kiriko is sharp and iridescent. The pattern depends on the sharpening process; a unique trait of the technique, which results in many variations with intricate details. It's a great craft for beginners to experience and enjoy making their own original glasses.

 

Traditional crafts originating in downtown Tokyo - Kumihimo -

Kumihimo - meaning 'gathered threads' - is an artform of making braids and cords from thin silk and cotton thread. Historically their use was as a decorative accessory for Buddhist items such as tools, texts, and scrolls, dating back to the time that Buddhism was first introduced to Japan. Since then, it has been used in armour, sword straps, and women’s obijime (traditional waistbelt for kimonos), and in recent years has expanded into various fashion items and goods. Experience creating Kumihimo's on traditional looms, using vibrantly coloured and textured threads.
