. ANA IC Tokyo has become very stingy about giving upgrades, at least in my experience. YMMV
(Oh, well, I do realize IC hotels are under no obligation to upgrade award stays . So I am not complaining, just stating my experience and observation.)
If the OP is paying for the stay, and if he is an Ambassador, he will probably get a one-category upgrade there.
