“Odaiba is one of Tokyo’s most popular tourist destination and dating spots, famous for its shopping centers, museums and landmarks such as the Fuji TV,” said Rob Palleschi, global head, full service brands, Hilton Worldwide. “The Hilton brand’s legacy in Japan goes back to the opening of our first Hilton hotel in Akasaka, Tokyo in 1963.
