meets-sophisticated Italian touches coupled with the legendary Japanese sense of hospitality and all the cutting-edge technology you could hope for, Bulgari haso ffi cially ushered in a new era of high style and opulence in Japan’s vibrant capital. DINE Following in the footsteps of its Japanese counterpart at Bulgari Resort Dubai, Sushi H ō seki serves as one of Bulgari Tokyo’s two signature dining experiences. Helmed by celebrated chef Kenji Gyoten (of the three-Michelin-starred Sushi Gyoten in Fukuoka), H ō seki — which translates to ‘gemstone’ in Japanese — is an eight-seat jewel box overlooking a private Japanese Zen garden; it o ff ers diners an intimate and

memorable omakase experience. With panoramic views over the city, Il Ristorante Niko Romito (sibling to Bulgari Dubai’s two-Michelin starred Il Ristorante-Niko Romito) serves contemporary Italian cooking in an elegant and upscale setting. Cap it all o ff with a yuzu-infused cocktail on the sumptuous rooftop Bulgari Bar where, on a clear day, guests can sit back and soak in the views of Mount Fuji in the distance. EXPLORE Beat the crowds and start your day early exploring the back alleys of Tsukiji Outer Market, where an array of fresh seafood stalls, souvenirs and sushi restaurants are a great way to experience a real taste of Tokyo.

Make your way over to teamLab Planets for an out-of-this-world interactive experience. Come sunset, head to Shibuya Sky, which opened in 2022 and o ff ers 360-degree views from the755-ft-high observation deck. At the end of the day, head over to Shinjuku, where Ben Fiddich — ranked one of the world’s 50 Best Bars in 2022 — continues to be one of the most coveted spots in town. Pull up a chair at the dimly lit bar, where Hiroyasu Kayama will mix the cocktail of your choice in a whimsical dance that is one part mixology, another part magic.
