FUFU Tokyo Ginza: A New Luxury Onsen Escape Opens this Sunday

This Sunday, November 16th, Ginza welcomes FUFU Tokyo Ginza, the newest addition to the acclaimed FUFU resort family. Located in the heart of one of Tokyo’s most vibrant districts, this boutique onsen retreat transforms the city centre into a sanctuary of calm, offering a distinctly Japanese luxury experience unlike any other.

A Japanese Resort in the Heart of the City

FUFU Tokyo Ginza embodies the brand’s philosophy: “a place to savour time.” From the subtle changing of the seasons to the delicate scents of Japanese gardens, the resort invites guests to pause and fully immerse themselves in the present.

With 34 thoughtfully designed suites spread across 11 room types, visitors can enjoy a rare combination of privacy, comfort, and traditional aesthetics right in Ginza. Each suite features a private hot spring bath, supplied daily with mineral-rich water from Atami - the birthplace of FUFU. Guests can soak in warm, soothing waters surrounded by hinoki wood, enjoying a moment of serenity that feels worlds away from the city streets just beyond the windows.

The suites range from the cozy 55m² Stylish Suites to the expansive FUFU Luxury Premium Suites spanning up to 163m², which can even be connected to create an exceptional 50-tatami-mat space for private events, gatherings, or special dining occasions.

Designed for both intimate stays and unforgettable gatherings, the Luxury Premium Suites can expand to an impressive 163m²

Rooftop Relaxation: Yusora Lounge

One of the resort’s standout features is the Rooftop Lounge “Yusora”, exclusively for overnight guests. Here, visitors can unwind in ashiyu footbaths while gazing at Ginza’s skyline, with thoughtfully designed booths ensuring privacy and a serene atmosphere. From early morning to late evening, Yusora offers the perfect vantage point to enjoy the changing light and the city’s evening glow.

Tokyo Bay Exclusive Gourmet Cruise: Wagyu Edition

When most people picture a Tokyo Bay cruise, they think of sunset views and champagne toasts. But the Tokyo Bay Exclusive Gourmet Cruise - coordinated by TOKI and supported by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau - takes things to another level entirely. This is not just a sightseeing trip; it’s a semi-private floating fine dining experience aboard a refined yakatabune (traditional Japanese houseboat) reimagined with contemporary elegance.

A Line-Up of Culinary Legends

Across three exclusive editions, this intimate cruise has welcomed some of Japan’s most celebrated chefs:

• Ginza Shinohara - Exquisite, artfully crafted kaiseki

• Sushi Namba - Masterful sushi precision

• Nikuya Tanaka - Legendary Wagyu craftsmanship

For the latest voyage, I joined the Wagyu Edition helmed by Satoru Tanaka, a titan in Japan’s beef world. On board, the spotlight shone on two exceptional long-raised cattle: 60-month female Matsuzaka beef and 48-month female Kobe beef - both revered for their marbling, depth of flavour, and melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Standout Dishes on the Water

The line-up was a testament to Tanaka’s artistry, paired with the shimmering backdrop of Tokyo’s night skyline:

• Wagyu Roll: Raw Matsuzaka beef marinated in kelp, wrapped with flounder sashimi from Aomori.

• Chateaubriand Sukiyaki: Unbelievably tender, luxuriously rich, and perfectly balanced.

• Matsuzaka Beef Stick Sushi: A decadent reinterpretation of sushi.

• Matsuzaka Beef Tempura: Crisp on the outside, juicy within.

Each dish celebrated premium Japanese ingredients with meticulous preparation and an attention to detail that rivalled any Michelin-starred dining room - only here, the city’s glittering skyline floated past your window.

One-of-a-Kind Experience at Tokyo Bay Exclusive Gourmet Cruise

This is a by-inquiry-only event with limited seating, designed for those seeking one-of-a-kind culinary moments in Tokyo. Whether you are a devoted gourmet traveller or a Wagyu aficionado, this cruise delivers not just flavour, but a memory you will carry long after the plates are cleared.

Tokyo’s Most Extravagant Breakfast: The Legendary Kurogi Morning Omakase

A lavish presentation of all-you-can-eat caviar

Previously reserved exclusively for regulars on Saturday mornings (and booked out a year in advance!), Kurogi’s legendary “Breakfast Omakase” is now available to the public via OMAKASE on Tuesdays and Thursdays! Starting at 9:30AM and wrapping up by 11AM, this 90-minute morning feast is the most extravagant way to start your day in Tokyo.

The undisputed highlight is the Caviar & Butter Toast - freshly baked bread from Ginza Nishikawa, topped with unlimited Échiré butter and caviar (!!). For the ultimate luxe sandwich, add sweet dashimaki tamago (rolled omelette), house-made tartar sauce, and tender wagyu slices.

You get to choose from six types of premium eggs, which can be served raw on rice as tamago-kake-gohan (egg over rice), boiled, or as a fluffy rolled omelette. The rice is cooked in donabe clay pots, featuring two prized varieties: “Ryu no Hitomi” from Gifu, known for its glossy grains and subtle sweetness, and “Yumegokochi” from Kyoto, prized for its fluffy texture and aroma.

The menu also includes dishes like handmade tofu, chilled kamonasu eggplant, octopus and mozuku seaweed, hearty nikujaga meat and potato stew, grilled seasonal fish, and a comforting miso soup with giant shijimi clams from Hokkaido.

Most dishes - except raw items and soup - can be taken home, so you can enjoy this luxurious feast at your own pace. If you’ve been dreaming of a breakfast that blends luxury and tradition, now’s your chance - but book soon, as spots are limited!
