The Hotel Gajoen Tokyo, better known with its former name Meguro Gajoen (目黒雅叙園), is a historic hotel, wedding and restaurant building located on the eastern edge of Shimomeguro.
Previously, he had operated a ryōtei in Shibaura, and upon acquiring the Meiji-era house of shipping tycoon Shoichi Iwanaga in Shimomeguro, he decided to relocate his business there.
The house was renamed Meguro Gajoen and became known for its Japanese and Beijing cuisine.
The current complex is largely the result of an 85 billion yen (approximately 700 million dollars at the time) renovation completed in 1991.
Designed by Nikken Sekkei and Kajima, much of the ornamentation and artwork, or in some cases whole rooms from the old building were preserved and integrated into the new structure.
