The Couture Tokyo package at Palace Hotel Tokyo opens for booking July 22, 2026, with stays starting at approximately $2,567 (originally ¥372,000) for double occupancy, the hotel said.
Couture Tokyo package: what the stay includes
The Couture Tokyo package blends hotel hospitality with a curated program of Japanese fashion craft, the hotel said. Guests staying two nights receive an original tote bag created exclusively by contemporary textile brand suzusan, plus a special kaiseki dinner inspired by fashion designer Kenzo Takada.
How the Couture Tokyo package frames fashion as experience
The program treats fashion as a multisensory story, extending tailoring, print, and textile detail into dining and hospitality. At night, guests attend a kaiseki tasting menu that translates the color and structure of fashion into composed courses, the hotel said.
Ginza luxury tour, led by Kaori Nakano
The program includes a private, guided tour of Ginza (a high-end shopping district in central Tokyo) curated by fashion and luxury culture scholar Kaori Nakano. Nakano designed three routes for collectors and style-minded travelers, and the hotel recommends the Ginza route as an introduction to traditional and avant-garde Japanese aesthetics.
- Stop one: Wako department store, Seiko House, where guests view high-jewelry and luxury watches on Jewelry Square and a basement gallery showcasing works by living national treasures and emerging artists.
- Stop two: Dover Street Market, the seven-level retail space where high fashion and street culture meet in experimental installations and limited-edition drops.
The three- to four-hour itinerary is described as a compact fashion history that ends with a gift from the chosen brands, the hotel said. Couture Tokyo package guests leave with a tangible keepsake from their route.
Daikanyama and Jun Ashida, a study in refined practicality
The second route begins in Daikanyama (an upscale neighborhood known for boutiques and cafes) with a visit to the Jun Ashida flagship store. Jun Ashida helped define Japanese ready-to-wear with a design language the brand describes as elegant and usable, a sensibility the hotel says continues under designer Tae Ashida.
Omotesando and Ura-Harajuku, kimono craft meets street culture
The third route crosses Omotesando (a tree-lined avenue of global flagship stores) and Ura-Harajuku (backstreet Harajuku, known for youth subcultures), tracing how centuries-old kimono craft adapts to modern streetwear. Palace Hotel Tokyo said guests will see how artisans update traditional techniques for contemporary wardrobes.
Kimono Yamato, a century-old label refreshed
Visitors enter Kimono Yamato, a brand with more than 100 years of history. The company blends classical kimono craftsmanship with contemporary styling so pieces work for formal occasions and casual, mixed outfits alike, the hotel said.
Palace Hotel Tokyo said the Couture Tokyo package itinerary runs three to four hours per route and is designed for guests who want a focused encounter with Tokyo fashion. Guests must request reservations at least 14 days before arrival.
