Park Hyatt Tokyo

Shinjuku

Tokyo, the celebrated capital of Japan, is known as a city that functions at 100 miles per hour. Every day, tens of thousands of inhabitants cross each other on the street without paying even the slightest attention to anyone else. Many visitors in fact, find rush hour here an amusing tourist attraction. Tokyo is also a city of skyscrapers, new technologies and people with original and extravagant looks.

In addition, the city has a number of cultural and historical monuments like the Tokyo National Museum, the city’s oldest and largest museum. Several thousand objects are on display, tracing the history of Japan and in other galleries the history of Asia. The Japan gallery is the most popular with visitors thanks to its saber collection, its painted scrolls and its statues bearing witness to the history of the country.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is the town hall and the work of Japanese architect, Kenzo Tange. It’s 200 meters high, with one of the best views of the Shinjuku quarter, one of the liveliest neighborhoods in the city, as well as being the economic and political heart of Tokyo. There are many bars where local employees come to unwind after leaving their offices. The atmosphere is laid back and warm. It’s also the quarter where the city’s finest hotels are located.
