Janu, the new sister brand to Aman, opened its first property on March 13^th in Tokyo, Japan.

Janu Tokyo is located in the heart of Azabudai Hills, a dynamic new neighborhood created and managed by Japan’s leading developer, Mori Building Co. Ltd.

A fitting flagship for the brand, the property has 122 rooms and suites, eight venues for dining and socializing, and a 43,055-square-foot spa and wellness center, all housed in a landmark building designed by architects Pelli Clarke & Partners with interiors by Jean Michel Gathy of Denniston.

Janu Tokyo – Committed to Well-being

Spanning four floors, Janu Tokyo’s multi-disciplinary spa and wellness center includes one of Tokyo’s largest gyms (3,660 square feet), five movement studios (spinning, yoga, golf simulation, boxing and more), and an extensive hydrotherapy and thermal area with a 25-meter indoor lap pool and heated lounge pool.

The wellness center also features two signature Spa Houses, available for up to four guests on an exclusive basis. Additionally, a consultation room, hair and nail salon, and seven private treatment rooms offer an array of Janu therapies.

Janu Tokyo also has two Aman Essentials boutiques – the first standalone outlets outside an Aman resort setting. One boutique showcases the wider lifestyle Aman Essentials collection, while the second is dedicated to beauty and wellness.

Complementing the wellness and retail facilities are eight distinct venues for dining and socializing:

• Janu Mercato – three Italian open kitchens: one of homemade pasta, another for fresh fish and seafood, and a third for European charcuterie and cheeses
• Janu Patisserie – a marble-walled space to experience the art of Parisian pastry making
• ligura – reinterprets Edomae sushi tradition, offering it à la carte or omakase dining
• Sumi – a contemporary interpretation of sumibiyaki (13 seats gathered around a grill, serving seasonal ingredients cooked over charcoal and complemented by wine and sake)
• Janu Grill – a show kitchen, two wine cellars and two private dining rooms
• Hu Jing – serving Cantonese specialties
• Janu Lounge and Garden Terrace – afternoon tea
• Janu Bar, which offers a menu of crafted cocktails inspired by several of Tokyo’s districts

Janu Tokyo’s rooms and suites continue the wellness experience. Located on eight floors, they range in size from 590 square feet to more than 5,500 square feet. Blending East and West, they combine a strong focus on Japanese minimalism and symmetry with European accents that add a touch of opulence. Most of the hotel’s rooms have private balconies, while Corner and Tower View Suites have dual-aspect views through large windows.

The Janu Suite is the hotel’s largest accommodation with more than 3,000 square feet of residential living space. It features two balconies, a modern kitchen and bar counter, dining table to six, separate study/library, and a spacious lounge.

“The opening of Janu Tokyo solidifies Aman Group’s status as the unrivalled emblem of ultra-luxury hospitality,” says Vlad Doronin, chairman and CEO at Aman Group. “Aman has always epitomized luxury hospitality, with devoted guests at its heart, who repeatedly journey through our constellation of hotels and resorts. Now, as we introduce Janu Tokyo, we are heralding a new era. The strategic decision to launch Janu reflects our commitment to evolving alongside the desires of today’s dynamic travelers, particularly the offspring of Aman loyalists, the rising Amanjunkies, who seek uplifting experiences and authentic human connections. Janu Tokyo promises to be the epicenter of this transformative movement, welcoming a new cohort of guests.”

About Janu

Aman Group founded the brand in 2020 as a complement to its ultra-luxury Aman brand. The name Janu is derived from the Sanskrit word for soul, and the hotels are designed to “encourage connection, balance, and collective joy.” Janu Tokyo is the first in a 12-property development pipeline for the brand.
