Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo launches Sense of Nippon Package

The Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo located within the prestigious financial, historic and cultural centre of the city, has launched a special package that is available for the first 80 reservations made, and is valid from 1 July through 31 August 2007.

Each pair of guests booking the MO Sense of Nippon package, will receive a set of fine cut glass Edo Kiriko saké cups handcrafted for Mandarin Oriental and featuring the hotel’s trademark fan, together with a bottle of premium Oku no Matsu Junmai Daiginjo-shu pure rice saké. Highly fragrant with a crisp, clean flavour, this premium label from Fukushima Prefecture in northern Japan is characteristic of saké brewed from rice that has been polished at higher milling rates, considered to be the pinnacle of the sake craft. In addition, each couple will receive two original Japanese fans designed in a special collaboration by two time-honored Nihonbashi shops: Chikusen, purveyors of yukata since 1842; and Ibasen, makers of fine silk, bamboo and paper fans since 1590. Shaped by Ibasen artisans, the flat fan is made of hand-dyed Chikusen-brand yukata fabric.

To complete this Japanese experience, a selection of original, cotton yukata summer wear created by Chikusen for men and women is available for purchase at the hotel starting from JPY47,000 each.

For each participating pair of guests, the MO Sense of Nippon package includes:

- One night accommodation in a Deluxe Room (King or twin-bedded)
- One 720 ml bottle of Oku no Matsu Junmai Daiginjo-shu saké
- A pair of hand-cut, Edo Kiriko saké cups, presented in a traditional wooden box and wrapped with customary furoshiki textile 
- Two original Ibasen fans crafted of hand-dyed yukata fabric

This double occupancy package price, which includes sales tax and a 10% service charge, is JPY65,000 for stays commencing Sunday through Friday and JPY74,000 for stays commencing on Saturday or the day prior to a national holiday. Tokyo’s municipal accommodation tax of JPY200 per person per night is charged separately. Check-in is 3 p.m.; check-out is 12 noon.
