Janu Tokyo

A 5-star hotel, as Google Hotels classes it, with 122 rooms and suites: the first from Janu, the brand the Aman group created alongside Aman. It opened in March 2024, as Japan’s national tourism organisation announced that January, and it is the only hotel in Azabudai Hills, according to the official neighbourhood page. The MICHELIN Guide awards it 2 Keys.

It has 122 rooms and suites, as the home page and MICHELIN say, and 8 restaurants and bars, according to the dining page, both read on 15 October 2026.

10 types, according to the accommodation page: 3 rooms, the Deluxe Room of 55 m², the City Room of 62 and the Premier Room of 65; 3 suites, the Deluxe Suite of 75 m², the Junior Suite of 96 and the Premier Suite of 105; and 4 Signature Suites, the Tower View, City View and Corner Suites of 105 m² and the Janu Suite of 284.

Each has a bathroom with twin basins, a rain shower and a soaking tub, and all but the Janu Suite have a pantry with complimentary drinks and a Nespresso machine. Linked to other rooms the Janu Suite reaches 519 m², while the Connecting Suites offer page gives 275 m² at most. The site does not say how many rooms there are of each type.

At 1-2-2 Azabudai, in Minato ward, inside Azabudai Hills, Mori Building’s development between Roppongi and Toranomon: the hotel takes the first 13 floors of the Residence A tower, according to a review on Secret Life of Fatbacks from December 2024. Around it are gardens, the Azabudai Hills market, galleries and teamLab Borderless, 7 to 9 minutes away on foot.

The rooms are quiet, nearly everyone agrees; the public spaces are lively, and at weekends full of people from outside.

Calculated on 7 October 2026 on OpenStreetMap’s streets, starting from the hotel: Roppongi-itchome, Namboku line, 5 minutes and 373 metres; Kamiyacho, Hibiya line, 8 to 12 minutes depending on the route; teamLab Borderless 7 to 9; Tokyo Tower 11 minutes and 852 metres; Toranomon Hills station 16; the Zojo-ji gate and the Mori Art Museum at Roppongi Hills 18.

The hotel sits on a rise: the walk from either station is uphill, harder going for anyone who finds slopes difficult.

By car or taxi: 30 minutes from Haneda and 1 hour 30 minutes from Narita, according to the official page, which also gives 15 to 20 minutes to Tokyo Station. A guest in March 2025 was collected from Tokyo Station by the hotel, and one in 2024 took 15 minutes by taxi from Haneda.

There is no rank of waiting taxis outside, a guest noted on Tripadvisor: ask reception to call one. The site publishes no transfer prices.

Yes: the MICHELIN Guide lists parking, valet and an EV charging point, and members of the Wellness Collective get up to 5 hours of free valet parking, according to the wellness page. The site does not publish a parking price.

Cars share an entrance with the residences, and it is easy to miss the first time, 6 Google reviews say between March 2024 and July 2026. One guest left the car on level P5, walked up towards the Azabudai Hills market and took an escalator to the door.

No: Janu Tokyo is a city hotel with no beach. The nearest water is Tokyo Bay at Takeshiba Pier, 2.6 km and 35 minutes on foot by OpenStreetMap’s count; for a swim there is the 25-metre pool on the wellness floor.

Indoors, 25 metres long, with a view, beside a smaller lounge pool for soaking, according to the wellness page; guests also describe a jacuzzi in front of a fireplace. The site lists no outdoor pool.

Swimmers need a cap, which can be hired, 2 guests wrote in 2024 and 2025. A keen swimmer noted in August 2024 that the mirrored floor has no lane line.

It is open daily from 6.30am to 10pm, according to the wellness terms; children aged 4 to 15 may use it from 6.30am to 6pm. The site gives no water temperature: a guest in August 2024 found it warm, and a review from December 2024 describes a heated lounge pool next to the lap pool.

No source read publishes a tattoo rule: the wellness terms cover hours, ages, phones and photography, allowed only with staff approval when no other guests are present. The menu asks for proper attire for every activity and provides undergarments and robes for treatments.

The sauna, steam room and hot baths are in single-sex changing rooms, from age 16; the pool is for swimwear and a cap, guests say. The 2 Spa Houses are private: there you meet no other bathers.

On Google Hotels, read the same day, the nights from 19 December to 3 January carried no price, which says nothing about whether the hotel is closed or full. One guest paid close to one million yen for 2 nights at Christmas 2024.

The site names no best season; Google’s calendar is cheapest in January and dearest in mid-October, and the kitchens change their menus with every season, with autumn chestnuts at afternoon tea until 12 October.

Charged separately are the restaurants, which add service, treatments and a third guest: 25,300 yen a night with breakfast under the Signature Suite offer. Google Hotels also lists breakfast as an extra, though every offer on the official site includes it.

The hotel’s site does not publish check-in and check-out times (read on 15 October 2026); booking platforms such as Trip.com give check-in from 3pm and check-out by noon. In March 2026 a guest who arrived early was told the room would be ready after 3pm; in September 2025 another had a rate with breakfast and a 5pm check-out.
