As part of its ‘Best of Japan’ series, Palace Hotel Tokyo unveils ‘JAXURY at Palace Hotel Tokyo’, an exclusive stay package designed to showcase excellence in Japanese craftsmanship paired with the award-winning property’s distinctive hospitality.
The JAXURY Consortium was founded in 2021 based on research undertaken by the Authentic Luxury Lab at Keio University’s Graduate School of System Design & Management. Representing a joint project between academia, media, and various industries, the Consortium undertakes a cross-country search each year to identify brands that exemplify a harmonious intermingling of nature and humanity, authenticity in delivering a sense of wonder and appreciation, and luxury through the outstanding quality of their products and services.
2025 marks the fifth consecutive year in which the JAXURY Consortium has recognized Palace Hotel Tokyo for its exemplary embodiment of ‘Japan’s Authentic Luxury’. “With its understated elegance and heartfelt commitment to its guests, the hotel was the natural choice for the sophisticated experience that I envisioned,” remarked JAXURY Executive Producer Kumiko Yoshioka. “It makes for the perfect setting to showcase the selection of brands I’ve meticulously curated to illustrate how the beauty in everyday products – from form to function – can truly enrich people’s lives.”
Designed to elevate travelers’ understanding of Japanese sensibilities and reveal glimpses of the allure of Japanese aesthetics, ‘JAXURY at Palace Hotel Tokyo’ presents xenophiles with the opportunity to indulge in the hotel’s singular JAXURY room – one of its coveted balcony rooms outfitted with products by JAXURY brands specifically chosen to enhance the stay experience in every way – including through sight, sound and touch.
Products featured in-room include exquisitely handcrafted lanterns and an objet d’art mirror by Time & Style; a spectacular glass speaker by Sony; organic cotton eye mask, slippers and a throw blanket by TENERITA (for guests to keep); elegant woodwork by Azmaya and cushions wrapped in gorgeous Nishijin textiles by HOSOO.
Elsewhere, both throughout the hotel and around the city, exclusive experiences such as a JAXURY dinner at the hotel’s signature Japanese restaurant, Wadakura, and a guided visit to Parfum Satori’s atelier are designed to ignite the gustatory and olfactory senses.
At Wadakura, the already artful kaiseki presentation is elevated with the incorporation of lacquerware by Nishimura Keikou Urushi, pottery by Asahiyaki, woodwork by Nakagawa Mokkougei and porcelainware by Kinzangama. As palate cleansers, wine from Grace Wine in Yamanashi prefecture and tea by renowned tea company Ippodo will be served.
At the hotel’s Lounge Bar Privé, an original JAXURY cocktail inspired by one of Parfum Satori’s most lauded scents will be served alongside wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets) by Higashiya while at The Palace Lounge, a pairing of Suntory’s signature single-malt Yamazaki whisky with artisanal chocolate by Maison Cacao comes with reserved seating piano-side for an evening of live jazz music.
To complement the stay and dining experiences included in the package, a trio of optional off-site activities give guests the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the beauty and richness of products made with a spirit of authenticity and a desire to enrich people’s lives by presenting them with everyday objects to be treasured in whatever way proves most meaningful to them.
“Through the lens of JAXURY, there is poetry in the end-user – not the manufacturer, the craftsman or the service provider – ultimately determining the intrinsic value of a product or service,” remarked General Manager, Masaru Watanabe. “It’s our hope that the JAXURY experience at Palace Hotel Tokyo will be enriching for our guests, sparking inspiration and curiosity and deepening their appreciation of Japanese culture.”
The ‘JAXURY at Palace Hotel Tokyo’ stay package includes:
- Two nights of accommodation
- Daily breakfast – choice of In-Room Dining or at Grand Kitchen
- A JAXURY prix-fixe kaiseki dinner at Wadakura (with pairings)
- Lounge Bar Privé’s JAXURY cocktail paired with wagashi by Higashiya
