An Event to Celebrate a 20th Anniversary Centered on "Timeless Passion"


Park Hyatt Tokyo marks its 20th anniversary this year. With "TIMELESS PASSION" as its keyword, reflecting a passion for enduring style and hospitality, the hotel presents a summer filled with special menus and events.

Particularly noteworthy is the summer evening event at the Japanese restaurant Kozue, offering a rich tapestry of Japanese charm. This occasion reunites Kenichiro Ooe, who has helmed the kitchen for two decades, with Sansa Yanagiya, a rising star in the world of rakugo. After being enveloped by the world of laughter spun by Yanagiya’s masterful storytelling—a style honed under his mentor, Kosanji Yanagiya, and specializing in classical rakugo—guests will have their senses delighted by the profound flavors crafted by Ooe’s delicate artistry.
