Tokyo Prince Hotel is located in Minato ward about 15 minutes’ walk from Hamamatsucho station. Prince Hotel is the name of a hotel chain owned by Seibu conglomerate , and this hotel is said to have the highest rank among them.
Probably many tourists wonder why this hotel can occupy such wide area in the center of Tokyo. Actually, the owner of this site used to be Tokygawa family, the decendants of Tokugawa shogunate . After WWII Japan’s noble class were deprived of their privileges and had to give up most of their properties. The founder of Seibu conglomerate was acute enough to get such properties at low costs. The site of this hotel is one of them. Regardless of its history, not only tourists but also people in Tokyo can enjoy this wide space and luxury facilities in the heart of Tokyo.
