Lonely Planet Review

Quotes The Four Seasons Chinzan-so was built on the grounds of an ornamental garden originally created by a prince during the Meiji Era. With such a pedigree, the hotel's demeanour is very self-aware - and effectively so. Large windows make the most of the city or garden views (with such a magnificent garden, it would be travesty not to opt for that view). And the interior is unquestionably civilised, yet oddly organic in tone: antique wooden tansu (Japanese cabinets) stand alongside ornate overstuffed rococo chairs with natural flair. Rooms feel equally pulled-together, and not so overly arranged as to feel sterile. In fact, the interior is well-suited to the garden outside - refined, but with a wild side. Joyfully ornamental and the height of comfort, this Four Seasons is wondrously easy escape from Tokyo's urban madness.

Author Tip

The Chinzan-so abuts the Kanda-gawa river, a narrow waterway encased in concrete walls, but a surprisingly pleasant stroll in springtime. Cherry trees overhang the river and form a beautiful white-pink canopy when in bloom. Nearby is Sekiguchi Basho-an (tel: 03-3841-1145; open 10:00-16:30 Tue-Sun), a charming garden and former home of the haiku master Matsuo Basho (1644-1694).
