The poolside is the scenery, enjoying a tranquil urban afternoon at Kimpton

Located in the bustling district of Shinjuku, Tokyo Shinjuku Kimpton Hotel features an infinity pool that seems to float above the city, with the skyline gently rippling with the water, intoxicating both body and mind. The design style here is full of modern artistic vibes, with black and white stone mingling with greenery, making you forget you are in the heart of Tokyo.
I chose to dive in at dusk, as the city lights gradually brighten and shadows cast from the glass curtain wall, the tranquil water reflecting the softest pink-orange hues of the skyline. Beside it are stylish lounge chairs and a cocktail bar, no need to plan an itinerary deliberately, this pool itself is enough to be the highlight of the journey.
