Garden view bathroom at Chinzanso
The Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Chinzan-so in the Mejiro district of Tokyo will change its name to Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo on Jan. 1, as its operating company terminates its business alliance with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.
The hotel opened at Chinzan-so's garden on Jan. 16, 1992, and its alliance with the foreign luxury hotel brand attracted many guests. After 20 years, however, guests' needs have shifted from brand awareness to "genuineness" and from the "universal" to the "unique," said Fujita Kanko Inc., which operates the hotel, in its press release explaining why the hotel is splitting from the "Four Seasons" brand.
Concurrent with the name change, Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo will establish two new room types that have bathrooms with excellent views of its famed garden: View Bath Suite and View Bath Superior. Guests can take a bath overlooking the 66,000-sq.-meter garden, which offers views of myriad colors every season.
