Park Hyatt, Tokyo Perhaps one of the most famous hotels in Japan, the Park Hyatt played a starring role in “Lost In Translation”. The hotel rooms start on the 41st floor, so even the standard rooms have amazing views. East rooms offer views to Shinjuku and Yoyogi Park, and beyond over central Tokyo. West rooms look over the Tokyo suburbs crowned by Mount Fuji. Upgrading to a ‘View Room’ gives you an extra window by the bathtub; relaxing in a luxurious bath while looking out over the city is truly a unique experience.

Benesse Art Site Naoshima The Benesse Art Site is notable not only for its amazing views over the Inland Sea, but that there are only a handful of rooms available, as the complex is primarily an art gallery. The Museum rooms offer sea views as well as hand picked original artworks on the walls. while the Oval rooms at the top of the hill are based around a stunning modern courtyard and have floor to ceiling views out to Shikoku. The Beach suites are ideal for larger groups or families and face directly on to the shore line.

Fuji View Hotel Located near the town of Kawaguchiko at the very base of Mount Fuji, the hotel looks over Lake Kawaguchi and the slopes of Mount Fuji. The hotel has extensive gardens with hundreds of cherry trees which blossom spectacularly in the spring. The hotel lobbies and dining rooms have amazing views over to Mount Fuji, but book one of the rooms with a Fuji view to get the full experience. See also 10 Great Ryokans in Tokyo
