TOKYO -- A renowned Tokyo hotel across the street from the U.S. Embassy will reopen next Thursday after a four-year renovation, offering rooms with Japanese-inspired interior design and rates averaging about 70,000 yen ($655) a night.

The Okura Tokyo, renamed from Hotel Okura Tokyo and the flagship of Hotel Okura Co.'s network, showed off its new look to reporters Friday.
