Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, a premier luxury hotel in Tokyo, Japan, has announced the launch of its offer called Heritage Hideaway.

Guests who reserve using the hotel's official website can enjoy this cultural experience provided as a complimentary add-on. The offer is valid from October 2023 to April 2024.

It is designed to provide foreign visitors access to Japanese cultural experiences that do not form part of the tourism guides.

Located in Bunkyo-ku, a ward in the capital city of Japan, the hotel is owned and managed by Fujita Kanko, a publicly traded tourism industry corporation based in Tokyo.

This seven-decade-old hotel features 267 guest rooms and suites, 38 meeting and banquet halls, nine restaurants and a spa with a Japanese onsen (hot spring).

Its garden boasts a wide range of botanicals, including over 100 cherry trees and 1,000 camellia trees.

Under the Heritage Hideaway offer, guests can also explore the neighbouring Eisei Bunko Museum, which features a collection of 94,000 artefacts, including eight national treasures.

This museum was the erstwhile residence of the Hosokawa family, who ruled over the Higo clan in modern-day Kumamoto city.

Guests can also visit the Higo Hosokawa Garden, located next to the museum.

Shoseikaku, a historic building that originally served as the Hosokawa family's study institute and mansion, is also an option for guests to explore.

This building hosts a Japanese café called Tsubaki Lounge, which offers dessert sets with matcha and kaseita, a traditional treat of the Hosokawa family.

Among the list of other cultural attractions is the famous haiku poet Matsuo Basho's former residence, Sekiguchi Bashoan, which is situated between the museum and the Higo Hosokawa Garden.

The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Edogawabashi Station on the Yurakucho Line (Tokyo metro) and roughly a 20-minute walk from Waseda Station on the Tozai Line.
