2. Things to know about winter afternoon tea in Tokyo
Most hotels fill seats by reservation rather than walk-ins. The deadline differs by hotel: Chinzanso takes bookings until 9:30 on the day, Tokyo Station Hotel until 12:00 two days before, and the New Otani Garden Lounge until two days before.
How prices are shown is not uniform. At Strings and Palace Hotel Tokyo a service charge is added separately, ANA InterContinental includes tax and service charge, and Keio Plaza includes them. (In Japan a service charge of around 10–15% is often added at hotel restaurants.) Check the note in each section before comparing the amounts in the table.
Even within one hotel, the price changes by day or by how you book. Chinzanso charges ¥1,000 more for phone booking than for web booking, and Royal Park has a separate online booking price.
The periods on this page are those shown on each hotel’s official page as of October 31, 2026. We did not include Christmas versions at other hotels, because some official pages are not yet out.
