The area around the hotel is ideal for jogging.
We have a jogging guide that includes a course around the Imperial Palace, which is popular among runners.

On the hill adjacent to the hotel is Hie Shrine, which is surrounded by a lush forest.
Hie Shrine protects the heart of Japan as the guardian of the Imperial Palace. In 1659, it was moved to Hoshigaoka, a scenic spot overlooking a reservoir, where it remains to this day. The main shrine building was burned down during the Great Tokyo Air Raid in 1945, but was rebuilt in 1958 as part of the Showa Imperial Construction Project.
Every June, the Sanno Festival is held here, known as one of the three major festivals in Japan and the first of the three major festivals of the Edo period. In recent years, the shrine has also become known as one of Tokyo's leading "power spots," with a never-ending stream of people coming to pray for protection from evil, warding off evil spirits, finding a partner, having children, and safe childbirth.

What was the residence of the Tokugawa Shogunate (Edo Castle) became the Imperial Palace in the first year of the Meiji era.

The Akasaka district, where the hotel is located, once flourished as a ryotei district in Tokyo. It is said to be well connected to the political and financial circles of the area, and was used for secret meetings with politicians and high-end corporate entertainment. Ryotei existed as high-end restaurants that served Japanese cuisine that offered a culmination of Japanese culture (cuisine and tableware, as well as orthodox Japanese culture in general, such as sukiya-style architecture, Japanese gardens, art, furnishings, geisha, and Japanese music). Due to their prestige and pride, they have established themselves as places for private rooms, a policy of "no one-time customers," and traditional performing arts dances and celebratory entertainment that have been passed down by geisha. Currently, there are four ryotei in Akasaka, including Asadaya. In cooperation with the Akasaka geisha world, which is the world of geisha, we are introducing this part of Japanese culture to everyone. We hope you will take this opportunity to enjoy this prestigious and dignified, authentic cuisine and high-quality hospitality.

Construction of the National Diet Building began in January 1920 (Taisho 9) and was completed in November 1936 (Showa 11). At the time, it was the tallest building in Japan, and its beautiful granite-clad building on the hill of Nagatacho was praised as a "chalk hall." It has been in use since the 70th Imperial Diet convened on December 24 of the same year, and remains so to this day. Anyone can visit the House of Councillors on weekdays.
