PETER BAR AT THE PENINSULA HOTEL

Up on the 24th floor of the Peninsula Hotel you’ll find one of Tokyo’s hippest cocktail temples, Peter. The room is decorated with metallic trees which give an ethereal indoors-outdoors effect to the space that’s already pretty striking thanks to the digitized projections on the walls. Accessed via a private lift, ambient electro music plays in the background as people perch in the pod-like seats perusing the wide-ranging drinks list. While a large selection of beers and spirits are stocked the cocktails are the way to go and the well-trained know how to mix a killer drink. All this and the near-futuristic views of the Tokyo cityscape make this place pretty special.

MANDARIN BAR AT MANDARIN ORIENTAL

The name Mandarin Oriental has become a byword for high end hotel glamour and that’s certainly the case with their Tokyo outpost. Looking out over the historic Nihonbashi district, the stylish and spacious 37th floor bar has staggering views out over the city and plays host to live jazz most nights, of a suitably chilled out variety. They have an extensive wine list and the bar tenders mix an excellent cocktail (their classic martini is exemplary). The service is smooth as a just waxed floor and as ultra efficient as you’d expect cigars aficionados might want to inspect the bar’s impressive humidor. Seductive as all these things are, and they really, really are, it’s those views that leave the deepest impression.

HELLO! TOKYO TOURS TOP PICK | NEW YORK BAR AT PARK HYATT

On the 52nd floor of the Park Hyatt Tokyo, 235m up in the air, sip a cognac or glass of California wine up here and you’ll feel like James Bond at large in Japan. Rated by Wallpaper* magazine as one of the best roof-top bars in the world, it’s done up in dark wood, with ebony chairs, walnut floors and floor-to-ceiling windows.

This bar is also where the famous movie Lost in Translation took place in. It’s one of the first places Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson get acquainted with each other. Order a glass of whiskey like Bill Murray did here for the full experience! Check out the scene from the movie below.

On clear days you can see Mount Fujiyama and as night falls the neon lights up Shinjuku like something out of Bladerunner. Food includes New York-style grilled sirloin and mash or wild mushroom, truffle brie and thyme pizza. The bar also offers great cocktails and the largest selection of American wines in Japan! And they have more than 40 liqueurs, 15 cognacs and a huge variety of whiskies, gins, rums and tequilas. Glad you could make it Mr Bond….
