Aman is gearing up to debut its sister brand, Janu, in an urban redevelopment in Tokyo, Japan.

Janu Tokyo will be situated in the Toranomon-Azabudai development, an eight-hectare complex comprising three skyscrapers in the Toranomon business district.

The luxury hotel will be located in the B-2 District Tower, with 120 guest rooms and suites and views out over the project’s central square. It will feature a Janu spa with extensive wellness facilities and six dining outlets and bars.

The development will also house Aman’s first residence-only development, Aman Residences, Toyko, which will claim the top 11 floors of A District Tower.

The property will offer 91 homes, as well as lifestyle services and a residents-only Aman Spa with panoramic city views.

At 64 floors, the A District Tower will be the tallest building in Tokyo once completed, surpassing the nearby Toranomon Hills skyscraper. 

The Toranomon-Azabudai development is scheduled for completion in 2023.

“Launching our first urban Aman Residences in Japan is a milestone moment in the history of Aman and speaks to our brand’s close relationship and symbiosis with this country and its incredibly special culture,” said Vladislav Doronin, chairman and chief executive of Aman and Janu.

“Working with leading developers Mori Building, and being part of the Toranomon-Azabudai project, will enable us to bring to life Aman’s fifth development within Japan, this time offering a permanent sanctuary for owners as well as exclusive access to the Aman lifestyle.

“Furthermore, it will provide the setting for Janu Tokyo. In this hub of culture and art, we want to connect guests to the heart of this vibrant community and offer a chance for creative expression.” 

Shingo Tsuji, president and chief executive of Mori Building, added: “Tokyo must add to its magnetic power if it is to succeed in its competition with the world’s greatest cities. 

“Mori Building is joining hands with Aman, which operates diverse world-class resorts, to provide a world-leading residential environment and hotel unlike anything ever seen in Tokyo, where people will achieve harmony with nature as well as connect with and inspire others through creativity. 

“By realizing this new form of ‘urban wellness,’ Mori Building will enhance Tokyo's magnetic power.”
