Ajikaido Gojusantsugi (Teppanyaki Sanjo, Sushi Nihonbashi)

As Edo-period painter Hiroshige Utagawa traveled from the imperial capital of Edo to Kyoto’s central shogunate, he was so taken with the varied beauty of each landscape that he was compelled to paint one at every stop—resulting in Japan’s most famous series of ukiyo-e prints, the 53 Stations of the Tokaido. And just as the varied landscapes of the Tokaido so enraptured Utagawa, the Ajikaido Gojusantsugi hopes to capture diners’ hearts (and palates). A playful pun on the historic road’s name, the Ajikaido Gojusantsugi has offerings ranging from exquisite Japanese kuroge wagyu at Teppanyaki Sanjo, to traditional Edomae sushi at Sushi Nihonbashi. Like the prints that inspired them, no two restaurants are alike. From the moment they step out of the elevator, guests are promptly led to their seats by a personal concierge. As they settle into their meal, they can enjoy breathtaking views of the Tokyo skyline. Good weather even permits an unobstructed view of Mt Fuji’s majestic summit, dwarfing the capital’s glittering skyscrapers.
