Hidden within the Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa, Takanawa Hanakohro is an intimate ryokan featuring 16 suites. The name, meaning "floral-scented path," reflects the charm of this exclusive area, where each suite is named after the flowers in the hotel’s expansive garden.

Situated in a location once home to the royal family (be sure to spot traces of imperial residences on the grounds), this hotel-within-a-hotel offers an authentic Japanese experience, with activities like sake tasting and origami in a traditional setting. In addition to excellent service, the hotel’s gracious kimono-clad staff is eager to engage guests in discussions about Japanese art, culture, and history.
