only by the imagination. Whether it be a Christmastime anniversary, an intimate New Year’s Eve or a

During peak bloom, guests will be privately chauffeured about the city in aluxury automobile for a three-hour tour of the city’s best sakura viewing spots (as well as any othersights they’d like to see).

At an additional charge, the hotel’s concierge team can also arrange the company of a photographer
to shoots guests among the blooms (and dressed in traditional kimono, if they’re so inclined) and attheir favorite sights, a lesson in ikebana (the Japanese art of arranging flowers), or a workshop on
