Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo Lights Up the Night

Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo’s garden lighting has been newly recognized as part of the 18th “Japan Night View Heritage” (Light-Up Night View Heritage).

The Japan Night View Heritage project aims to rediscover and promote hidden beautiful nightscapes across Japan as tourism resources, thereby encouraging nighttime tourism.

The hotel introduced “Tokyo Sea of Clouds” in 2020, a mist garden using the largest volume of artificial mist in Japan, and “A Thousand Lights” which illuminates the garden with a thousand lamps. These features, along with seven unique seasonal themes like “Cherry Blossom Sea of Clouds” in spring and “Forest Aurora” in winter, continuously attract visitors. These initiatives have expanded the new value and potential of Japan Night View Heritage.

Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, Where Winter Magic Begins!

When winter arrives, check out Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo’s “Crystal Snow Path.” At dusk, the path leading from the waterwheel to the sacred tree gets covered in digitally projected snow, creating a landscape that looks like it’s blanketed in real snow, both on the ground and the slopes.

After enjoying this enchanting snowy scene, head over to the main bar “Le Marquee” or the shop “Selections” for special winter-inspired cocktails and cheesecakes. It’s a perfect way to savor the flavors of winter.

And then comes Christmas! The hotel is decorated with large Christmas trees, wreaths, and charming dioramas of townscapes, all lit up with glittering illuminations. It feels like stepping into a fairytale world.

Together with the garden’s magical display and the Christmas decorations inside the hotel, why not fully enjoy the winter nights? It’s sure to be an unforgettable experience!
