FUFU Tokyo Ginza: Time Magazine's World's Greatest Places 2026

FUFU Tokyo Ginza: An Urban Onsen Sanctuary



On April 14, 2026, Kato Pleasure Group proudly announced that FUFU Tokyo Ginza, its premier urban property under the FUFU JAPAN brand, has been named one of TIME's World's Greatest Places of 2026. This prestigious accolade recognizes exceptional destinations worldwide that provide transformative travel experiences.

FUFU Tokyo Ginza, which opened its doors in November 2025, takes pride in melding the tranquility of traditional Japanese ryokans with the exhilarating pulse of urban Tokyo. This unique property is located in the thriving Ginza 1-chome district, an area synonymous with luxury and refinement. With its commitment to creating an intimate environment designed for unwinding, this hotel stands out amidst the vibrant cityscape.

The guiding philosophy at FUFU Tokyo Ginza is "A Place to Savor Time." This philosophy is woven into the fabric of the hotel, which features only 34 guest rooms, each thoughtfully designed to create a personal sanctuary. Each room boasts a private garden and a natural hot spring bath sourced directly from Atami, enriching the Japanese onsen experience in the heart of the metropolis.

The hotel's distinctive offerings extend beyond luxurious accommodations. Guests are enveloped in serene surroundings that engage all five senses, evidenced by the property's design and amenities. The Rooftop Lounge Yusora serves as an oasis above Tokyo's skyline, complete with open-air footbaths, a selection of curated beverages, and stunning views of the Ginza district.

For gourmets, FUFU Tokyo Ginza provides two exceptional dining options: GINZA GAYU, a Japanese restaurant that emphasizes private dining rooms adorned with seasonal ingredients presented with artful precision, and SUSHI GINGA, an exclusive eight-seat sushi counter offering high-end sushi courses that feature top-quality, seasonal ingredients, showcasing the craft of Sushi chefs.

The design throughout FUFU Tokyo Ginza is a lesson in elegance, utilizing natural materials and warm textures to cultivate an atmosphere of peace and exclusivity, a stark contrast to Tokyo's conventional steel and glass constructs. This thoughtful approach fosters an ambiance of seclusion high above the bustling city streets.

FUFU Tokyo Ginza is part of the broader FUFU JAPAN portfolio, a collection of small luxury resorts that span culturally rich and scenic locations such as Hakone, Kyoto, Nara, and Kawaguchiko. Since its inception in 2007, the brand has been recognized for balancing traditional Japanese elements with modern luxury, achieving a remarkable feat where seven FUFU properties have earned Michelin Key distinctions for two consecutive years (2024 and 2025), ranking among the top Japanese hotel brands.

The inclusion of FUFU Tokyo Ginza in TIME's annual list signifies the brand's ongoing evolution and its commitment to delivering genuine Japanese hospitality to a global audience. As international travelers increasingly seek culturally immersive experiences, FUFU Tokyo Ginza stands out as a premier destination that provides both relaxation and cultural richness, right in the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic cities.
