Announced at an award ceremony in Macau on July 15, this year's ranking features 20 brand-new entries spanning 23 locales across Asia.

Two of Tokyo's most scenic sky-high outdoor terraces are now open
In Tokyo you'll be spoilt for choice. For instance, you could take in the cityscape from Tokyo's many indoor observation decks, but with this lovely spring weather, we'd much prefer lounging at a sky-high outdoor terrace. You'll still get an unobstructed aerial view of Tokyo's dynamic skyline, plus you can put that observatory entry fee towards getting drinks and snacks instead. Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi as well as The Tokyo Edition, Ginza have opened their outdoor terraces for the season. They each offer a different view of the city, along with a well-curated food and drink menu that will have you chilling from lunch to sunset. Pigneto at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi The terrace at Four Season Otemachi 's Italian restaurant Pigneto is perched on the 39th floor, 200 metres above the bustling streets of Tokyo's financial district. From this height, you're very much guaranteed a front row seat to Tokyo's contrasting skyline – the downtown skyscrapers as well as the lush gardens of the Imperial Palace, which is just a few steps away from the hotel. On good days, if you're lucky, you might even spot Mt Fuji in the distance. Here you could treat yourself to a three- or four-course prix fixe lunch (from ¥6,800, last orders at 2.30pm) of classic Italian dishes but reimagined with local seasonal produce. Or choose from a selection of sharing-style pastas and kiln-baked pizzas. Coming for the golden sunset hour? Check out the Aperitivo Plan (¥4,200) which includes one cocktail and an Italian-style appetiser platter. It's the way to spend a spring evening. Check the Pigneto website for terrace opening hours and menus. The Roof at The Tokyo Edition, Ginza This gorgeous rooftop terrace at The Tokyo Edition, Ginza is a serene escape from the bustling streets of Ginza. The lush oasis offers intimate seating surrounded by plants and space for private gatherings of all sizes, with a stunning view of Tokyo Tower in the distance that is especially scenic after dark. Officially open for the season as of April 18, the rooftop offers a breathtaking setting to unwind after a long day or kick off a memorable evening. The menu features a curated selection of champagne, fine wines and Japanese spirits, along with seasonal cocktails artfully crafted with authentic Japanese ingredients. In addition to drinks, The Roof also serves up light bites from Sophie, the hotel's modern brasserie located on the 14th floor. Standouts from the cocktail menu include the refreshing Ume & Shiso (¥2,400), blending coconut yogurt with sparkling sake; the Peach & Kumquat (¥2,400), a vibrant mix of sun-ripened fruit and oolong tea; and the spring-inspired Sakura & Lychee (¥2,400), combining cherry, citrus and sherry. Each pairs beautifully with Sophie's refined take on the classic bistro favourite, oeuf mayonnaise (¥2,900). This article is published on April 12 2023 and updated on May 7 2025.
