19th November 2024 – A decade ago, a pioneering vision came to life in the heart of Tokyo – the first urban Aman sanctuary. Going above commonplace notions of luxury, Aman Tokyo redefined hospitality in the Japanese capital and beyond. Offering an entirely new way of experiencing a city, the urban resort presented all the brand’s hallmarks–peace, privacy and service–while embracing and sensitively showcasing local culture. Celebrating 10 years in December, Aman Tokyo remains an iconic part of the city. Its famous lobby ascends nearly 30 metres and features a striking design by Kerry Hill Architects, a long-term collaborator with Aman. Seamlessly blending traditional Japanese elements with contemporary flair, the harmonious space is one of The World’s 50 Best Hotels. Setting the standard for all Aman urban settings current and in the future, Aman Tokyo proudly marks its 10th anniversary with a series of events reflecting and honouring its legacy.

Aman Spa: Aman Tokyo Signature Journey
To mark this special milestone, the hotel’s Aman Spa unveils an enhanced version of its Aman Tokyo Signature Journey, set to launch in 2025. Combining ancient Japanese wellness tradition with modern therapies, the 150-minute holistic journey has been designed to renew both body and mind – perfectly timed for the start of Aman Tokyo’s next decade with a body wrap, massage and facial completing the experience. Known for its calming properties, the fragrance of celebrated Japanese ingredient, Kuromoji extract, fills the air throughout the entire therapy, realising both physical and mental tension. This soothing plant is linked to tea master Sen no Rikyū, who used Kuromoji picks in samurai tea ceremonies. Guests would snap the fragrant sticks to release a calming aroma, creating a moment of mindfulness and balance. During this treatment it is also poured over the body to help stimulate the senses. The facial treatment, which harnesses the potent Aman Essential Skin collection, made from purple rice bran and indigo extract – used in Japan for their benefits for centuries – leaves skin refreshed and renewed.
