Luxury hotels are everywhere in Tokyo, but only one offers a real natural hot spring in every room: FUFU Tokyo Ginza. Opening on November 16, 2025, the hotel introduces suite-style rooms, each one equipped with its own private onsen. The mineral water is transported every morning from the brand’s private spring in Atami straight to the heart of Ginza.

FUFU Tokyo Ginza brings its signature blend of refined Japanese aesthetics and warm omotenashi into a striking new setting. With private open-air gardens, sweeping Ginza views, and a rooftop footbath overlooking the bay, the experience feels miles away from the city, even though the building sits directly above Ginza-itchome Station.

Rooms & Suites: Space, Stillness and Your Own Private Garden

With only 34 suites, FUFU Tokyo Ginza feels intentionally spacious. Rooms start large and only get bigger, with the top suite reaching 163 square meters. The one I stayed in felt more like a private residence than a hotel room; quiet, open and the kind of space you instantly relax into.

The design leans warm with natural wood and soft lighting, but the sense of privacy is what stayed with me. Every suite has an open-air garden planted with trees and seasonal flowers. Sitting out there at night, hearing leaves instead of traffic, was one of the highlights of my stay. From the higher floors, those wide Ginza views feel unexpectedly calm.

And then there’s the bath, a deep wooden onsen fed each morning with fresh mineral water from Atami. It’s the kind of hot spring you’d normally travel to the countryside for, except here it’s waiting inside your own bathroom. Morning soaks felt grounding; nighttime ones became a small ritual I didn’t want to break.

Dining at Japanese Restaurant “GINZA GAYU”

Dinner at Japanese Restaurant “GINZA GAYU” felt like a complete journey through Japanese cuisine: small pickled appetizers, delicate sashimi, perfectly seasoned vegetables, sushi, wagyu and even a comforting hot pot to tie it all together. It wasn’t minimalist or restrained at all; it was generous, layered and beautifully choreographed.

The presentation alone was stunning. One of the wagyu courses came served on a large maple leaf and grilled over charcoal, giving it this deep, earthy aroma that instantly reminded me of the season. Every plate had its own personality of textures, colors and shapes. Eating the meal felt like moving through chapters of a story.

What surprised me most was how the courses balanced each other. A rich bite followed by something crisp or citrusy. Something warm followed by something cool. By the time dessert arrived, it felt like we had sampled an entire cross-section of Japanese cuisine without anything feeling heavy.

The hotel’s other restaurant, SUSHI GINGA, has an eight-seat counter and a private room for two to four guests. Each piece is shaped and served directly from the chef’s hand. It’s intimate in the best way, and watching the sushi come together right in front of you feels like a small privilege.

Dining here isn’t about excess. It’s about slowing down enough to notice the details in each dish, which match the property’s overall mood.

A Private Garden Above the City

One of my favorite parts of the stay was the rooftop lounge, Yusora. It’s a garden-like space at the very top of the building with a warm, hot-spring footbath that runs along the deck like a stream. I went up around dusk, and the mix of the evening sky, the breeze and the soft city glow made it feel like I was sitting in a quiet garden suspended above Ginza. The staff mentioned that guests often stop by after dinner just to unwind, and I understand why. It’s calm in a way most rooftops in Tokyo never are.

The rooftop also has private booth-style seating, so you don’t feel watched or crowded. From 4pm to 8pm, they do a free-flow drink service, which turns the whole place into this slow, relaxed transition between day and night. It’s genuinely one of the highlights of the property.

Downstairs, the twelfth floor has a lounge-style reception area and a small shop that sells souvenirs from different FUFU hotels across Japan. The space carries a gentle aroma of smoked green tea, the hotel’s signature lobby fragrance, which adds to the warm, grounded feeling that runs through the building. In the guest rooms, the scent shifts to a blend of yuzu and hinoki, something you notice the moment you walk in. It’s subtle, but it makes the whole stay feel calm and intentional.

FUFU also arranges experiences for guests who want to explore more of Tokyo or try something hands-on. There were options like lacquerware gilding, a private cruise and even a helicopter tour. But honestly, the atmosphere of the property itself made it hard to leave. The balance between quiet spaces, greenery, and natural materials gives the whole building a softness you notice as soon as you walk around.

Why FUFU Tokyo Ginza

FUFU is already a well-known name in Japan, with seven of its properties receiving Michelin Key distinctions for two consecutive years in 2024 and 2025. Even with that level of recognition, the brand is still relatively under the radar internationally.

It offers a style of Japanese hospitality that feels personal in a way larger global hotels rarely do. There’s no corporate sameness here; everything feels intentional and warm, from the quiet reception lounge on the twelfth floor to the private dining rooms meant for unhurried meals.

The atmosphere is calm and retreat-like, with a focus on privacy and sensory detail, despite being in the center of Ginza.
