There is a new Amex Centurion lounge to check out at Tokyo Haneda and it’s open today! If you’ve been counting, this makes 30 Centurion lounges around the world. This one measures in at 7500 square feet, offers up private rooms for meditation, sushi, ramen, and curated drinks at the bar.

Tomorrow, July 16, American Express will open a new Centurion Lounge at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport (HND), the busiest airport in Japan and one of the busiest airports in the world. Located in Haneda’s Terminal 3 near Gate 114, guests can enjoy sweeping views of the airfield while they rest and refuel before their flights. With more airport lounge options than any other credit card issuer, the American Express Global Lounge Collection™ is just one of the many ways American Express supports Card Members while they travel. Eligible Card Members have access to more than 1,550 lounges worldwide, including 30 Centurion Lounges.
