American Express will open a Centurion Lounge at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport on Wednesday.
Located in Terminal 3 near Gate 114, the lounge is nearly 7,500 square feet and features “sweeping views of the airfield,” American Express said in a release.
In addition to a wide range of seating choices, lounge guests will have access to private phone booths that can also be used for meditation. Lined with fabric panels and featuring traditional Japanese artwork, the booths will have an audio program with calming sounds.
A VIP area for Centurion members will feature elevated furnishings and finishes, with kumiko-style woodwork, Japanese art and photography and a private beverage station.
The lounge’s menu was created by chef Satoshi Ogino. It will have some traditional Japanese offerings like sushi and ramen as well as a buffet serving local and global cuisine. A sweets bar will feature tea and Japanese wagashi sweets.
The lounge will also feature an open kitchen where guests can watch chefs at work.
Its full bar will feature wine, cocktails, Japanese beers, sake and shochu.
The Haneda lounge is the 30th Centurion Lounge to open and the fourth in Asia.
“We’ve seen incredible demand for travel to Japan. It is one of the destinations where we’ve seen the highest growth recently,” said American Express Travel president Audrey Hendley. “We look forward to showcasing the impeccable service Centurion Lounges are known for in a destination we know is so important to our card members.”
