Good to Know

Aman Tokyo

  • Musashi by Aman is the hardest reservation in the hotel by far — request it when you book your room, not after arrival, given how few counter seats it holds each night.
  • Aman Tokyo shares its Kerry Hill design lineage with Aman Kyoto and Amanpuri; guests who know either property will recognise the material language immediately.
  • Otemachi is a business district that empties out on weekends and after dark — quiet in a way that suits the hotel's register, but plan an evening in Ginza (a five-minute taxi) if you want street-level energy.
  • The onsen-style spa pool is naturally lit and genuinely rare for central Tokyo — worth booking a treatment around daylight hours rather than in the evening.

Bisate Lodge, Wilderness Safaris

  • All-inclusive safari rates include twice-daily game drives, all gourmet meals, and premier cellar beverages.
  • Pack neutral khaki, beige, and olive clothing for open-vehicle game drives and bush walks.
  • Direct bush airstrip charter flights can be coordinated directly with the lodge hospitality team.
