"Rising atop the Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower, the 38th-floor lobby is a gallery for Tokyo’s best angles, echoed in rooms where cloudless days reveal Mount Fuji beyond the calming hush of a sky-high retreat. Comfort is devout—supple beds and a pillow menu that leaves no excuse—while dining ranges from a pizza bar and haute Cantonese to a silver-lined French room. Sushi Shin by Miyakawa, perhaps the city’s most atmospheric sushi counter, seats nine at a 350-year-old cypress beside a floor-to-ceiling window that frames Tokyo Skytree as the city lights up. Step outside to kimono shops and classic department stores, with Ginza a short stroll away." - Danielle Demetriou, Adam H. Graham
