Springtime Sakura Festivities at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi

As spring arrives in a soft flurry of sunshine and cherry blossoms, a festive air blooms across Tokyo. Soaring above the city centre, Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi connects guests with the magical spirit of sakura through seasonal dining, exclusive services and unrivalled panoramas.

In the surrounding Otemachi district, a fascinating dialogue between past and present unfolds. Remnants of the former Edo Castle, including the moat and several yagura gates, create an intriguing contrast with ultramodern buildings – all interwoven with the pink-and-white beauty of cherry blossoms.

With a range of sakura discoveries in the sky and on the ground, Four Seasons guests can fully embrace the pleasures of Hanami – the Japanese custom of enjoying and appreciating cherry blossoms. The Hotel’s proximity to multiple sakura-viewing spots makes it convenient for guests to join the springtime revelry.
