Let the Celebrations Begin! Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi Invites Guests for Holiday Afternoon Teas

As the mercury dips and the ginkgo leaves turn golden, there is magic in the Tokyo air. Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi welcomes the most wonderful time of the year with themed Afternoon Teas and winter special Mille-Feuille, available from November 2023 to January 2024.

Set in the light-filled ambience of MAISON MARUNOUCHI, the Parisian-style bistro, this very merry dining experience is elevated by caring Four Seasons hospitality. As friends and family come together to celebrate the holiday spirit, sweeping views of the city skyline and Shinkansen bullet trains create the most iconic of backdrops.

Showcasing the creative prowess of Executive Pastry Chef Patrick Thibaud, the Afternoon Tea menus bring the sweetness of the season to every table. In delightful contrast to the crisp air outside, the confections arrive clad in warm and vibrant holiday colours. Delicate craftsmanship is combined with playful touches to take guests on a wondrous journey, filled with the joy of shared discovery.
