The Tokyo Sea of Clouds

The “Tokyo Sea of Clouds” at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo is a remarkable phenomenon created by artificial mist, transforming the traditional Japanese garden into a scene reminiscent of a natural wonder typically found in high mountains. This artificial fog creates an ethereal atmosphere, making the garden seem like it’s floating amidst clouds. The mist is released several times a day, revealing a different facet of the garden’s beauty each time.

During my stay, witnessing the garden shrouded in this mystical fog was breathtaking. It was like watching a dream unfold in front of my eyes, with the garden’s iconic Three-Story Pagoda emerging from the mist, adding to the dramatic scenery. This experience, especially when viewed from my room, made it feel as though I was residing in a floating world above the clouds, justifying the hotel’s nickname, “Hotel in the Clouds.”

Exploring the historic Japanese garden is like stepping into a fairy tale. With its Koi ponds, gracefully arching bridges, and a diverse array of statues and pagodas, the garden is a testament to meticulous care and artistic landscaping. The presence of wedding couples, drawn by the garden’s beauty, adds a touch of romance to the air. Needless to say, I was not surprised when I learned that over 1000 weddings take place in this hotel each year.

A Serene Location

What I particularly appreciated about Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo was its location. Tucked away from Tokyo’s busiest streets, it offered a quiet, calming environment, ideal for relaxation after a day of exploring the city. Yet, it was conveniently close to popular areas like Shinjuku, providing the best of both worlds.

The hotel’s proximity to the Kanda River added to its charm. It felt like a tranquil oasis amidst the bustling cityscape, a rare find in a metropolis like Tokyo. The natural beauty surrounding the hotel was a refreshing contrast to the urban energy, contributing to a genuinely peaceful stay.
