Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, part of the world-leading hospitality group Accor, is set to launch its first property in Japan, Fairmont Tokyo, July.
The property is situated in the Shibaura district, a historic gathering place since the Edo period, and aligns with Fairmont's legacy of timeless destinations worldwide.
The property boasts breathtaking views of serene Tokyo Bay and the glittering Tokyo metropolis, blending elegance with modern design to create a remarkable venue.
As part of its grand opening, guests will receive JPY 10,000 worth of hotel credits per room per night for stays between 1st July - 30th September 2025. Reservations can be made at www.fairmont.com/en/hotels/tokyo/fairmont-tokyo.html.
Situated within the 'BLUE FRONT SHIBAURA' South Tower, Fairmont Tokyo takes over floors 35 to 43, offering panoramic views of Tokyo Bay and Tokyo Tower nestled in the city skyline.
Just 13 minutes from Haneda Airport and six minutes from Tokyo and Shinagawa stations, Fairmont Tokyo's prime location means visitors can delight in the tranquility of the Shibaura district with its many picturesque canals, while enjoying Tokyo's vibrant city centre.
The hotel's interiors, thoughtfully designed by internationally acclaimed BAR Studio, showcase a refined color palette, rich textures, and subtle cues referencing traditional Japanese techniques such as weaving and 'Kintsugi' both integrated into the property's art and textiles.
The result beautifully encapsulates the vibrancy of the city, reflecting the serenity of Tokyo Bay while paying homage to Japan's rich artisanal heritage.
Leveraging Fairmont's historic ties to the Canadian Pacific Railway, the interior design echoes Fairmont's legacy as a place that connects people across time and cultures.
The main lobby located on the 35th floor embodies a serene and tranquil space, perfectly blending nature with an abundance of lush greenery, seamlessly leading to beautiful outdoor terraces facing both East and West.
Upon opening, Fairmont Tokyo will offer 217 rooms ranging from 52 - 278 sq.mt, situated from the 36th - 42nd floors, each with breathtaking, unobstructed views through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows.
Elegantly crafted seating areas, inspired by the traditional Japanese 'Engawa', create a transitory space between the interior and exterior.
Fairmont Gold floors offer an elevated experience with Fairmont's hotel-within-a-hotel concept offering luxury and personalised service in both rooms and suites.
Guests can anticipate top-class amenities and wellness offerings at the much-coveted Fairmont Spa and Health Club located on the 35th floor, featuring a 24-hour accessible gym, indoor infinity pool, mist with dry saunas, and outdoor Relaxation Pool and Sundeck.

Japan Clarifies: No Defense Spending in New US Trade Deal

TDT | Manama Japan's top trade negotiator has clarified that the new trade agreement between Japan and the United States does not include any provisions related to defense spending or tariffs on steel and aluminum. Speaking to reporters in Washington on Wednesday, Ryosei Akazawa, Japan's envoy on tariffs, confirmed, 'The deal does not include anything on defense spending,' putting to rest speculation that military budgets might be part of the broader agreement. This follows earlier calls by U.S. President Donald Trump urging Japan to boost its defense spending. Akazawa also confirmed that US-imposed tariffs of 50 percent on Japanese steel and aluminum remain unchanged and were not addressed in the newly agreed trade deal. 'If you are asking whether the deal includes steel and aluminium, it does not,' he stated. Despite the exclusions, the announcement of the trade pact brought a boost to investor confidence. Japan's stock market surged in response, with the Nikkei 225 index jumping 3.18% to close at 41,040.66 yen. The broader Topix index also rose by 3.11%, finishing at 2,924.42 yen — gains led primarily by automotive stocks as the deal includes tariff reductions on vehicles and car parts. The agreement marks a step forward in trade relations between the two nations, focusing on economic cooperation without touching on more contentious defense or industrial issues.

Japan's Prime Minister Ishiba Expected to Step Down

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is reportedly preparing to resign by the end of August, according to several local media outlets. The news comes after his party suffered a major defeat in the recent upper house elections and shortly after finalizing a major trade deal with the United States. Sources say Mr. Ishiba has already informed close aides of his intention to step down, taking responsibility for the election results where his ruling coalition lost its majority. The Liberal Democratic Party leader has been facing increasing pressure from within his party to resign. According to Japan's Yomiuri newspaper, Mr. Ishiba told his inner circle on Tuesday that he would speak publicly about his future after wrapping up negotiations with the US. Both Mainichi and Sankei newspapers reported that his formal resignation announcement is likely to come next month, after key national events conclude. Adding to the timing of the news, US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday via his Truth Social platform that a 'massive' trade agreement had been reached with Japan. The deal reportedly includes $550 billion in Japanese investments into the US and a reduction in planned tariffs on Japanese goods from 25% to 15%. If Mr. Ishiba steps down as expected, Japan will soon be preparing for a leadership transition amid shifting political and economic priorities.

Trump Announces "Largest Trade Deal Ever" With Japan

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he reached a 'massive' trade deal with Japan that will set tariffs on Japanese imports at 15% and see the key American trading counterpart and ally invest $550 billion into the US (with about the same likelihood of doing so as Stargate is to invest $500 billion in US AI technology) . 'I just signed the largest trade deal in history, I think maybe the largest deal in history — with Japan,' Trump said at an event at the White House on Tuesday after announcing the deal on social media. 'And that was done with Japan. They had their top people here and we worked on it long and hard and it's a great deal for everybody.' 🚨 JUST IN: President Trump signs "largest trade deal in history.""Japan!" a trillion."The tariffs kicked in better than anybody, other than me and a few others in the room, thought would happen."Experts FURIOUS tonight. — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) July 22, 2025 On Truth Social, Trump explained that the pact calls for Japan to 'open their Country' to US automobile imports, as well as additional agricultural imports including rice – a remarkable achievement with a country which has historically been extremely protectionist of the food staple – without specifying further. Trump has repeatedly zeroed in on auto trade as he criticizes trade imbalances with the country. Around 80% of Japan's trade surplus with the US is in cars and auto parts.
