Asia Center of Japan

Roppongi, Akasaka & Around


Staff are old hands at helping foreign visitors at this pleasant hotel in a quiet location within walking distance of Roppongi and Akasaka. The decor is generic but the rooms are decently sized and there's a gorgeous display of handmade washi (Japanese handmade paper) at the entrance and lobby.
