Celebrating biodiversity
The Otemachi Forest, which grows among the Tokyo’s skyscrapers, harbours an invisible power that exceeds the imagination, purifying the air and soothing the spirit. As a young, urban forest it takes on the role of a natural forest, central to the social function, environmental conservation, and biodiversity of its surroundings. For those visiting the city or working in the business district, a simple walk through the forest can help provide a reset. An urban oasis, the forest is an important foundation of Aman Tokyo, exemplifying the brand’s ethos of coexistence with nature.
Further championing biodiversity, the hotel also supports the Ogasawara Islands, home to a wealth of fauna, including the Bonin Flying Fox, a critically endangered bat, and 195 endangered bird species. Also referenced as the Bonin Islands, Aman Tokyo contributes to the protection of this Unesco World Heritage Site through the service of an Ogasawara Cocktail in The Lounge by Aman. An extremely popular tipple, Ogasawara Rum is the cocktail's main ingredient, and is made from sustainable local sugarcane which draws attention to the significance of using small-scale craft producers.
