What makes it special
MIMARU Tokyo Akasaka specialises in spacious, apartment-style urban stays designed primarily for families and multi-generational groups visiting central Tokyo.

History, setting & people
Operated by Cosmos Hotel Management under Daiwa House Group, the MIMARU brand was developed to meet international demand for larger, multi-occupancy accommodations in metropolitan Japan. Located in Akasaka, Minato Ward, the property sits at the intersection of Tokyo's diplomatic district, broadcast headquarters, and residential enclaves, placing guests between Roppongi, Nagatacho, and Aoyama.
Signature spaces & highlights
The signature element of MIMARU Tokyo Akasaka is its cohesive apartment layout designed to keep travel groups together in a single shared environment. Key highlights include the multi-bed family configurations, self-catering kitchen setups with induction cooktops, and guest common spaces featuring laundry facilities tailored for extended urban stays.
