Overview

Tokyo is one of the world's most dynamic cities -- a place where ancient temples stand in the shadow of neon-lit skyscrapers, Michelin-starred restaurants sit alongside street food stalls, and cutting-edge technology meets centuries-old tradition. Japan's capital is a sensory overload in the best possible way.

For points travelers, Tokyo offers outstanding value through Hyatt's premium brands. The Park Hyatt Tokyo (of Lost in Translation fame) and Andaz Tokyo are two of the most sought-after luxury hotel redemptions in Asia, offering 5-star experiences at remarkably reasonable points costs.

From the bustling streets of Shibuya and Shinjuku to the serene gardens of the Imperial Palace and the traditional charm of Asakusa, Tokyo rewards exploration. The city's world-class public transit makes it easy to experience everything from sumo wrestling to robot restaurants.

Cash vs Points

Hotels in Tokyo range from $77 to $3743.71 per night. Points redemptions offer 9.57+ cents per point value.
