Janu Tokyo Azabudai Hills: Aman sibling flagship in Azabudai Hills with 8 dining venues, 4,000m² wellness center, and 25m pool

Reigning as the inaugural global flagship of Aman’s soulful sibling brand Janu within the visionary Azabudai Hills development in Minato, Tokyo, Japan (just steps from Tokyo Tower, Roppongi, and teamLab Borderless, 25 minutes from Tokyo Haneda Airport), Janu Tokyo Azabudai Hills opened in 2024 as Japan’s premier luxury urban wellness grand palace. Masterfully designed by celebrated architects Pelli Clarke & Partners with interior styling by Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston, the 122-room luxury palace is centered around human connection, social vitality, and transformative wellness. Featuring eight destination dining venues and lounges (including Italian institution Janu Mercato, Janu Grill, and Cantonese dining room Hu Jing), an extraordinary 4,000-square-metre Janu Wellness Centre with a 25-metre heated indoor lap pool, and two expansive Spa Houses with private banyas, this property is Tokyo’s ultimate luxury grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Japanese contemporary vitality and Azabudai Hills splendour: liveried Janu hosts greet guests beneath soaring timber porticos on the garden level before entering Jean-Michel Gathy’s sun-drenched lobby with monumental shoji lattice screens, living bamboo planters, and chilled ceremonial green tea with seasonal wagashi. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Tokyo artistic, cultural, and gastronomic pursuits: walking directly into Azabudai Hills to explore teamLab Borderless digital art museum and Central Green gardens (steps away), private guided tours of the Mori Art Museum and Roppongi Hills (5 minutes away), private shopping in Ginza and Omotesando (10 minutes away), swimming in the 25-metre heated indoor pool framed by glass light wells, indulging in banya and hammam rituals in the private Spa Houses, sipping signature cocktails at Janu Bar overlooking Tokyo Tower, and reserving dinner at Janu Grill.

Palace living balances active Tokyo discovery with serene high-altitude wellness: Janu Wellness Centre spans four floors (4,000 m²) featuring 7 private luxury treatment suites, 2 private Spa Houses with Russian banya and Turkish hammam, boxing ring, spinning studio, 25-metre heated pool, and therapies utilizing organic Japanese botanicals and thermal waters. Dining is an extraordinary eight-venue culinary summit: charcoal-grilled Japanese beef at Janu Grill (featuring Miyazaki wagyu, king crab, and Japanese Grand Crus), fresh pastas at Janu Mercato, refined Cantonese dim sum at Hu Jing, patisserie treats at Janu Pâtisserie, and craft mixology at Janu Bar.

Accommodations comprise 122 rooms and luxury executive suites styled by Jean-Michel Gathy in warm European oak, Japanese washi paper screens, and private balconies framing direct views of Tokyo Tower or the lush Azabudai Hills gardens ranging from 55 to 519 square metres. Each residence features plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom amenities.
