8 best summer afternoon teas in Tokyo

The old English tradition of afternoon tea is alive and well in Tokyo, where city hotels are constantly trying to outdo each other with ever more luxurious servings. What's more, these indulgent tea sets often come with a seasonal twist – right now you can enjoy an indulgent array of summer fruits such as mango and peach. So expect an extensive selection with creative cakes, scones, finger sandwiches and the like with a juicy, fruity slant.

Go ahead, reserve an afternoon all to yourself and choose from these afternoon tea options at some of Tokyo's top hotel lounges, cafés and restaurants (the afternoon teas are organised in ascending order of price).
