Hotel New Otani Tokyo Announces Early Summer Opening for Garden Pool

Hotel New Otani Tokyo has scheduled the opening of its Garden Pool for the 2026 season on June 1, offering an early start to the summer for travelers in the capital. Located within the hotel’s expansive and historic Japanese garden, the facility provides a resort atmosphere that serves as a quiet escape from the rising urban temperatures.
