ABOUT OKURA

From the very beginning, Hotel Okura believed in doing everything with the spirit of ‘Wa’ - the Japanese word for Harmony. In Tokyo, every employee carries on his or her person a memo pad with the Japanese character ‘Wa’ inked in the handwriting of the hotel’s former president Iwajiro Noda. This subtle but lasting gesture reminds all staff members to treat guests with harmony and kindness.

HERITAGE & BRAND

Established in 1962 as a world-class Japanese hotel catering to prestigious international guests, Hotel Okura Tokyo has since developed into one of the world's leading names in hospitality. Okura Hotels & Resorts was created in 1978 and now comprises some 24 properties in Asia, Europe and The Americas.

In the history of about 40 years since its formation, Okura Hotels & Resorts has built up a global network of high-quality international hotels that fuses the delicate beauty and subtleties of Japanese culture with Western convenience and functionality.
