Good to Know
Aman Tokyo
- The hotel occupies the top 6 floors (levels 33–38) of the Otemachi Tower, designed by Kerry Hill.
- Features a 2,500-sq-m Aman Spa with 30m black basalt pool, traditional onsen baths, and Musashi sushi counter.
- Directly connected to Otemachi subway station (5 subway lines) and a 10-minute walk from Tokyo Station.
Angama Mara
- Lodge and rates pages: children of all ages. A 2022 fact sheet still says 6 and over. Under-12s share a triple unless you book a second suite. Ages 0–6 need a private vehicle if you book fewer than three tents.
- Check-in 12pm, check-out 10am. Childminding 18h00–22h00.
- About 45 minutes from Nairobi. Confirm Angama’s airfield versus Kichwa Tembo — the lodge and rates pages disagree.
- Kenya is classified as a malaria area. Confirm prophylaxis with your doctor.
