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.
Necker Island
- Official pages describe Necker as 74 acres, while one exclusive-use passage says thirty acres. The owner does not reconcile the figures.
- Core capacity is 48. Expanded sources variously say 56 guests plus 14 children, 56 adults plus 14 children, or 48 adults plus six children.
- Only one bunkroom has a card and sleeps six children. The second bunkroom, beach villa, four additional adult rooms and remaining expanded child beds are not publicly described.
- The live 2026 Individual Stay calendar conflicts with the still-live official 2026 PDF. Confirm valid arrival and departure dates rather than merging them.
