History
The Prince Sakura Tower Tokyo opened in 1998 as a 14-story, 288-room Prince hotel in the Takanawa gardens of Minato, sharing five acres of former royal grounds with the Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa and Grand Prince Hotel New Takanawa. Architect Ryu Kosaka of Aoyama Nomura Design renovated the tower in 2013 around a wa-modern concept, Japanese garden views from large windows, and guest access to the neighboring Grand Prince outdoor pool. The hotel later joined Marriott's Autograph Collection. Takanawa's coastal ridge appeared in Edo-period ukiyo-e for moonlit bay views; the stone embankment for Japan's first railway was laid here in 1872. Shinagawa Station is a few minutes on foot.
The setting
The Prince Sakura Tower Tokyo, Autograph Collection occupies a serene Takanawa address in Minato ward — a neighbourhood whose coastal ridge was celebrated in Edo-period ukiyo-e prints for moonlit bay views, and where the stone embankment for Japan's first railway was laid in 1872. Today Takanawa retains a quiet, tree-lined residential character while Shinagawa Station — a primary Shinkansen gateway — is moments away, linking guests directly to Kyoto, Osaka, and Haneda Airport. Roppongi's gallery circuit is 25 minutes by transit, and the Imperial Palace quarter is reachable by a single connection, making the hotel an elegant base that prizes calm without sacrificing connectivity. 7 km from Tsukiji Market.
