The picturesque pool at Hotel New Otani Makuhari looks like a Hawaiian resort with its private gazebos and palm trees. Until September 18, the pool is open to the public in the evening and entry costs between ¥5,000 and ¥5,500 (¥3,000 to ¥3,500 for hotel guests) depending on the day.
The best time to go is Friday, when the pool is looking particularly pretty with iridescent pink lights and there’s a live DJ set from 6pm to 9pm. Reservations must be made in advance via the website.
