Located in Tokyo's Minato Ward, the newly launched Fairmont Tokyo occupies the upper floors of the 43-story BLUE FRONT SHIBAURA tower, offering sweeping views of Tokyo Bay and the city's skyline.

"Shibaura's transformation from an Edo-period coastal village to a vibrant area beautifully aligns with Fairmont's legacy of timeless destinations worldwide," he said. "We aim to be Tokyo's social epicenter, offering authentic service rooted in place." Fairmont's launch comes amid a sharp uptick in upscale hotel development across Japan. The growth is fueled by the post-pandemic recovery of inbound tourism, increasing numbers of affluent travelers, and a strategic focus by developers on high-end urban revitalization.

Similar projects are underway across the country, from Nagoya to Okinawa, and many are tied to large-scale mixed-use developments that include retail, office, and residential spaces. While Japan has long attracted both business and leisure travelers, its upscale hotel landscape has historically trailed behind global competitors. That, however, is beginning to change. Japan's luxury hotel market size reached $7 billion USD in 2024 and is projected to reach $10 billion by 2033, according to IMARC Group. In Tokyo, international luxury brands such as Dorchester Collection and 1 Hotel Tokyo are set to open in the coming months and years, expanding the city's high-end offerings. Landmark properties, the Imperial Hotel and Capera Kyoto, are currently under construction in Kyoto, with openings scheduled for 2026. In April, Hilton's flagship luxury brand made its Japanese debut in Osaka, drawing attention for suites priced at a whopping ¥2 million JPY (approximately $13,000) per night. Author: Kenji Yoshida
