Japan’s Most Michelin Key-awarded Resort Brand, FUFU, Opens Its First Tokyo Property

Kato Pleasure Group, the hotelier behind Michelin-recognised FUFU Japan’s collection of refined small luxury resorts, has announced the opening of its ninth location, FUFU Tokyo Ginza.

Located at the iconic Ginza 1-chome intersection (and directly connected to the Tokyo Metro Ginza-itchome Station), FUFU Tokyo Ginza offers a one-of-a-kind stay, with each of the 34 guest rooms featuring a private garden and natural hot spring baths – a rare sanctuary in the centre of Tokyo. Guests can also enjoy curated experiences in and around Ginza, from hands-on traditional crafts to private cruises, alongside sumo training visits and helicopter tours.

FUFU Tokyo Ginza is the latest addition to FUFU Japan’s collection of Small Luxury Resorts (with locations in Atami, Kawaguchiko, Karuizawa, Kyoto, Hakone, Nara, and Nikko). Founded in 2007, each property embodies a refined retreat where traditional Japanese aesthetics meet contemporary sophistication, guided by the concept of being a “place to savor time.”

Seven of its properties have been honored with Michelin Key distinctions for two consecutive years (2024, 2025), which is the highest number among Japanese hotel brands.
As the flagship among all FUFU properties opened to date, FUFU Tokyo Ginza embodies the spirit of the FUFU brand for guests from Japan and abroad, marking a milestone that reflects the brand’s nationwide growth.

FUFU Tokyo Ginza is home to Yusora, the rooftop lounge and tranquil garden retreat featuring natural hot-spring footbaths sourced from Atami. Yusora features private daybeds and personal footbaths, nestled amid lush greenery, where guests can unwind to gentle music and the open breeze of Ginza above. The rooftop offers a selection of wines and non-alcoholic beverages in a free flow style. From select vantage points, the view expands to reveal the glimmering city lights below, offering an immersive retreat where the serenity of the sky and the warmth of the hot spring meet as one.

The property also boasts GINZA GAYU, an 86-seat restaurant where the cuisine embodies the essence of Japanese aesthetics and the true spirit of Japanese dining. Located on the property’s 12th floor, the venue offers exclusively private dining rooms, some with sweeping city night views and others featuring intimate, sunken kotatsu-style seating. With each space distinguished by its refined character and serene ambiance, guests are invited to dine in an atmosphere of quiet elegance and exceptional comfort.

SUSHI GINGA is the second unique dining concept located within the property and one that invites guests to watch culinary artistry up close. Open for dinner, the eight seat counter offers an intimate omakase experience.

Designed to evoke the image of a three-dimensional strolling Japanese garden, every detail—from the angle of the lighting and the choice of music to each piece of interior décor—is thoughtfully designed.

While many buildings in Tokyo are constructed primarily from materials such as stone, glass, and steel, FUFU has intentionally incorporated textures that evoke the softness and warmth unique to Japan; for example, the earthen plaster walls that greet guests at the entrance. The landscape design incorporates Asama and Komatsu stones—distinctive Japanese volcanic and basalt stones—while each guest room garden features traditional flora and trees corresponding to the name of the guest room.

Room rates start from US$747.
