Where to Score a Royal View in Tokyo

Where: 1-8-1 Yurakucho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan

A quick tip for a stay at the ridiculously well located Peninsula Tokyo: pay the extra to secure a Deluxe Park View, because that "Park" bit actually means Imperial Palace gardens. They may be out of focus in the photo above, but can you blame us for being far more focused on a large Japanese breakfast spread at the moment?

Rooms on the park side of the hotel have commanding views of the Imperial Palace and its acres—bring mini binoculars to watch the processions, full of pomp, without having to even venture outside and join the throng of photo-snapping tourists.

At night the view is just as pleasant, since having all of these private gardens next door means it's one of the only areas in the metropolis to get truly dark—a luxury on its own.
