25 Years with Shibuya: Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel Launches 25th Anniversary Commemorative Program

Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; General Manager Shinichi Yoshioka) will celebrate its 25th anniversary on Sunday, May 24, 2026. As the first high-rise tower-type hotel in Japan in the 21st century, the hotel has welcomed guests from Japan and abroad for a quarter of a century in the heart of the constantly evolving city of Shibuya. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our guests, the local community, and our business partners for their patronage. In honor of this milestone, we will hold a series of commemorative events and fairs. On the day of the anniversary, May 24, we will host a lobby concert and a dinner event at the towers restaurant 'Coucagno.' On July 7, a one-night-only special banquet will be held in the ballroom, featuring the combined talents of our garçons, sommeliers, and chefs. Looking Back on Our Journey The hotel opened on May 24, 2001, when Shibuya was known as 'Bit Valley.' With the hope of being a 'fresh and pleasant space like a blue sky (Cerulean)' and an 'international exchange hub connecting Japan and the world,' the hotel has served as a stage for international conferences, corporate events, and cultural ceremonies in the diverse city of Shibuya. While Shibuya has grown to become the most popular destination for international visitors in Tokyo, our hotel continues to receive high praise for its services that cater to both business and leisure needs, its high-floor views, the tranquility that makes one forget they are in the city center, and its high-quality cuisine using seasonal ingredients. The building also houses cultural facilities such as the 'Cerulean Tower Noh Theatre' and the jazz club 'JZ Brat SOUND OF TOKYO.' These icons represent the hotel's identity as a hub for culture and exchange beyond just a place to stay. Toward the Future We have continuously updated our facilities and services to provide a more comfortable space and high-quality hospitality that adapts to changing social environments. As Shibuya evolves through redevelopment, our hotel also keeps pace, sharing the charm and value of Shibuya with the world. Positioning the 25th anniversary as a new starting point, we will strive to create even more value and provide premium hospitality as a hotel that embodies the 'International City of Shibuya.' As symbols of this commitment, we have established a 25th-anniversary logo and tagline: 'Brightly, together with everyone.' <25th Anniversary Logo> This logo signifies a milestone of inheriting our history and stepping into the future. It uses a 'sealing wax' motif, a symbol of authenticity, to represent our promise to 'keep reaching higher and continuing to evolve.' The silhouette of the tower in the background, a landmark of Shibuya, resembles a ribbon, expressing that the hotel is supported by 'people'—both guests and associates (the term Tokyu Hotels uses for its staff). This tagline expresses our determination to continue creating new value with our guests, looking up at the clear cerulean sky. Message from General Manager Shinichi Yoshioka: 'Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel has reached its 25th anniversary thanks to the support of many guests, local residents, and business partners. I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your kindness over the years. While society and Shibuya have changed significantly, our goal is to remain a presence rooted in Shibuya as an "infrastructure for human interaction" through hospitality that truly connects with our guests. The 25th anniversary is a foundation for our history and a new start to take on the future.'
