Memories of Spring Blooming in Takanawa― Tranquility Deep Within a Garden
Just a five-minute walk from Tokyo's Shinagawa Station, the Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa is nestled in the quiet, verdant area of Takanawa, serving as a gateway to the international city of Tokyo. Since opening in 1953, this hotel has welcomed distinguished guests from around the world and offers a refined space where history and prestige harmonize with sophisticated modernity.
A garden in the city center where the four seasons thrive
The hotel is surrounded by a 20,000-square-meter Japanese garden featuring over 210 cherry trees of 17 varieties, ponds, a bell tower, and a mountain gate, all arranged with elegant charm. Despite being in the heart of the city, the garden offers an unexpected tranquility and refinement that changes with each season.
EAN Charyo, where architectural beauty and tranquility work in harmony
Nestled among trees deep within the Japanese garden, EAN Charyo is a sukiya-style structure designed in his later years by Murano Togo, one of the most celebrated architects of Japan's Showa era. Traditional Japanese design infused with Murano's signature delicate aesthetic sensibility permeates every detail—from the texture of the wood and the interplay of natural light to the thoughtful use of negative space—creating an atmosphere of tranquility and elegance.
