Originally built in 1894 as the residence of F. Bishop, this stately Western-style mansion found new life in 1945 as Totenkaku Royal Chinese Restaurant, under the guidance of a celebrated chef from China.

Totenkaku offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience in Japan—where exquisite Chinese cuisine is served in a setting that seamlessly blends Chinese and European design with deep-rooted Japanese tradition. It’s a rare cultural harmony that sets the restaurant apart.

Inside, guests are welcomed by soaring ceilings, rich red carpets, ornate Chinese furnishings, elegant artwork, and luxurious draperies.

Every detail reflects a sense of grandeur and refinement.

Dining at Totenkaku isn’t just a meal—it’s a journey into history, culture, and culinary excellence.
