In a city defined by motion, Keio Plaza Hotel offers travelers something enduring in Tokyo's ever-changing cityscape: a sense of orientation. Rising above Nishi-Shinjuku since 1971, when it opened as Japan's first skyscraper hotel, the property sits at the crossroads of Tokyo's energy, culture and connectivity.

“Shinjuku is an important hub not only for Tokyo, but for Japan as a whole,” President and CEO Katsuyoshi Wakabayashi said. From here, guests can reach districts such as Ginza, Shibuya and Nihonbashi with ease, and travel beyond the city to destinations like Hakone, Takayama and Mount Fuji. Whether for business or leisure, for international visitors navigating Japan for the first time, that access alone is a decisive reason to choose the hotel.
