Palace Hotel Tokyo has launched a new stay package, Sustainable Tokyo, highlighting local, environmentally considerate elements and excursions alongside omotenashi (Japanese hospitality).
The two-night stay package features recreational activities on land and water and an introduction to kintsugi, the art of beautifying imperfections in pottery in the spirit of mottainai – a Japanese philosophy rooted in reducing waste by not discarding objects until they have been utilised in every imaginable way.
Guests have the option of a prix-fixe dinner at the hotel’s Japanese restaurant, or a 75-minute spa treatment.
Additional package elements available include a stocked in-room minibar, full-sized amenity set, in-room breakfast service, and a souvenir wooden guestroom key card.
Guests can also request activities at additional charge, such as a two-hour introduction to the history of kintsugi followed by a hands-on experience; a two-hour jogging tour or three-hour cycling tour around the Marunouchi district and surrounding Imperial Palace gardens; or a 90-minute kayaking excursion along the Sumida River.
Sustainable Tokyo can be booked for stays between June 15, 2023 and May 31, 2024.
Prices start from 371,000 yen (US$2,624) for two pax, with five per cent of net proceeds from the package going to The Nature Conservation Society of Japan.
