Arva is the Italian restaurant of Aman Tokyo, on the 33rd floor of The Otemachi Tower in Chiyoda City’s financial district. Formerly called The Restaurant by Aman, it takes its name from the Latin word for “fertile land” and cooks rustic, ingredient-led Italian food built around Japan’s seasonal produce (source: [TableCheck](https://www.tablecheck.com/en/amantokyo-arva)).
The kitchen favors restraint over flourish. Expect handmade pasta, simply dressed seasonal vegetables and carefully sourced meat and seafood, paired with a substantial list of premium Italian wines (source: [Tabelog](https://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1302/A130201/13176921/)). The dining room follows Aman’s signature minimalism of stone, timber and soft light. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Imperial Palace gardens and Tokyo’s skyline, and on clear days Mount Fuji appears on the horizon. Diners on Restaurant Guru rate it 4.8 out of 5 across hundreds of reviews (source: [Restaurant Guru](https://restaurantguru.com/Aman-Tokyo-Arva-Italian-Restaurant-Tokyo)).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
The restaurant welcomes both hotel guests and outside visitors, but reservations are expected. You can book through [TableCheck](https://www.tablecheck.com/en/amantokyo-arva) or the [Aman website](https://www.aman.com/hotels/aman-tokyo/dining/arva). For a sunset table, reserve weeks ahead, especially on weekends and during cherry-blossom and autumn-foliage seasons. Lunch costs less than dinner and gives the clearest daytime views.
Otemachi Station connects directly to the tower, and Tokyo Station is about a 10-minute walk away. Combine your meal with a stroll through the Imperial Palace East Gardens nearby.
