TOKYU HOTELS & Resorts to start operating restaurants and banquet halls for the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan on October 5, 2026!
Showcasing the appeal of "Food TOKYU HOTELS" from the Marunouchi hub in Tokyo, which connects the world and Japan
TOKYU HOTELS & RESORTS CO., LTD. (Tokyo Shibuya Ward, President & CEO Takashi Takei) announces that it has entered into a business outsourcing agreement with The Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan (Tokyo Chiyoda Ward, President Dan Sloan, hereinafter FCCJ) for on-site restaurants, bars, and banquet halls, which will begin operations on October 5, 2026.
Founded in 1945, FCCJ is one of the world's most historic and traditional news clubs, and has hosted numerous important news releases and press conferences not only in Japan but also across Asia. Additionally, the restaurant, bar, and banquet hall within the facility serve as important places for members to interact and exchange information, and are used by many members and visitors.
Furthermore, FCCJ is located in the Marunouchi area of Tokyo, an international hub for media and corporate representatives from Japan and abroad, serving as a platform for information dissemination connecting Japan and the world. FCCJ aims to further enhance the food and beverage facilities and banquet functions that support these activities, and we have decided to operate restaurants, bars, and banquet halls. By leveraging the operational capabilities and hospitality we have cultivated over time, we will contribute to enhancing FCCJ's appeal and enhancing member services.
For our company, operating FCCJ's food and beverage facilities allows us to directly appeal the quality of food and service to a broad customer base, enhance brand awareness, and share our advocated "Food TOKYU HOTELS" with both domestic and international audiences in Marunouchi. ※1
Furthermore, the operational record of this project is expected to contribute to strengthening our sales and appeal capabilities, considering the improvement of our credibility and the possibility of expanding into other facilities in the future. Operating restaurants at external facilities represents a new growth opportunity, and in addition, it is expected to foster human resources and accumulate operational know-how for external hotel businesses.
TOKYU HOTELS & Resorts is taking on the challenge of remodeling its business structure in various areas, aiming to expand its customer base and chain network while driving business growth.
