Janu Tokyo Opens a Dog-Friendly Spring Picnic Terrace in Azabudai Hills

Mar 13, 2026 at 11:00am ~ Jun 30, 2026 at 10:00pm

This spring, Janu Mercato is offering a share-style Italian picnic on its ground-floor terrace, with the central piazza of Azabudai Hills as the backdrop.

Running March 13 through June 30, the “Picnic on the Terrace” set is ¥10,800 all-in: seven courses moving from prosciutto with parmesan, mussels in white wine and panzanella through to grilled Oshu Iwai chicken from Iwate, with free-flow Peroni, Asahi and house Italian wine included.

Dogs are welcome on the terrace. Seats run to 120 minutes with drinks orders closing after 90.

Spring in Tokyo is brief, and Azabudai Hills’ greenery makes as good a case as any for making the most of it—whether with friends, family or a four-legged companion.

Janu Tokyo is a luxury lifestyle hotel at the heart of Azabudai Hills, home to multiple restaurants and bars.
