Widely considered the place to be seen staying in Tokyo, the Park Hyatt is a favourite haunt of visiting VIPs and assorted celebrities. The hotel is housed in the Shinjuku Park Tower, three pointed towers designed by local architect Kenzo Tange. Room rates start at around 40,000 yen, and the impressive choice of bars and restaurants could leave you parting with at least as much again. But it’s unavoidable if you want the ultimate chic Tokyo experience.

Seen Lost in Translation? You can sample it for yourself. Try the good value eat-all-you can brunch in the stylish dining room floating above the skyscrapers. Service, as always in Japan, is flawless.

Jane Yonomine's Pearls are outstanding value and the service is pleasant and very helpful in choosing the pearls. I've been there twice now and have been very happy with the results. Jane is a celebrity and the store has a great atmosphere with dozens of autographed photos of stars who have visited.

Hailed as one of the best sushi restaurants in a city known for its excellent raw fish. This is real melt-in-the-mouth stuff, but it comes at a price – in the region of 30,000 yen per person for a wide selection of food, washed down with cold sake or beer. The only problem with eating here is that the sushi available at much lower prices elsewhere will taste decidedly ordinary.
