The first JW Marriott property is set to debut in Tokyo in the spring
of 2025. It was confirmed by Marriott International, Inc’s announcement
that it has signed an agreement with East Japan Railway Company.
The 200-room hotel will be located in the heart of Tokyo between
Shinagawa and Tamachi Stations and will be a key component of JR East’s
extensive redevelopment project of the former JR Shinagawa Depot Railway
Yard.
It will be part of the Takanawa Gateway Urban Development project
that will span four blocks and will include the Takanawa Gateway station
and a mixed-use development, which is expected to become Tokyo’s newest
international township.
Comprising five buildings, this development will feature residences
as well as commercial facilities and a convention centre. JW Marriott
Hotel Tokyo is slated to occupy the 22nd to the 30th floors of the
Station Complex Building (South) and will be situated within walking
distance of the Shinagawa Station, the terminus for the upcoming Linear
Chuo Shinkansen, set to connect Tokyo with other major cities in Japan.
The hotel is also located within a 15-minute drive to Tokyo Haneda
Airport, making it easily accessible to both domestic and international
visitors.
JW Marriott Hotel marks the second JW Marriott hotel to open in
Japan. Marriott International currently operates a portfolio of more
than 70 hotels in Japan across 18 brands in cities such as Tokyo, Osaka,
and Kyoto, as well as secondary destinations such as Tochigi, Gifu, and
Wakayama.
