Experience of the stay
🛏️ Sauna Experience in Daily Life | Report on My Stay at Doshi Gotanda
I finally stayed at the much-talked-about "sauna hotel", Doshi Gotanda (℃).
It's the ideal "stayable sauna" for sauna enthusiasts and those who just want to relax.
⸻
🚪Minimalism from the Moment You Check In
It's about a 3-minute walk from Gotanda Station.
Though it's in a building district, the entrance is stylish and quiet.
The front desk has a self-service vibe, reflecting a philosophy of "no unnecessary things".
⸻
🧖♀️ The Sauna is Simply the Best
During the stay, being able to use the sauna as much as I like was fantastic!
The mid-temperature Finnish sauna, where self-throwing water is possible, is incredibly indulgent.
- Stable temperature around 90°C
- Dim lighting and a quiet space make it pleasant for relaxation
- The cold shower is ice cold, between 10°C and 20°C
- The relaxation chairs are placed in an excellent position.
Amenities and dryers are kept to a minimum, so it might be for the "in-the-know" crowd.
⸻
🛌 The Capsule is Surprisingly Quiet and Comfortable
I stayed in a standard cabin.
The mattress was firm, and the metal decor gave a calming vibe.
The entire facility prioritizes tranquility, making it surprisingly comfortable for those sensitive to noise and light.
⸻
👀Recommended For:
• Those for whom sauna is the main point! Just need a place to sleep.
• People who want to go straight to sauna after work.
• Those seeking a clean, quiet capsule.
• People looking to use it as a base for their "relaxation travel".
⸻
Overall, Doshi Gotanda provided a truly "sauna-first lodging experience" that I enjoyed.
I want to drop by again when I feel the stress piling up.
Experiences during the trip
🌮 Tacos That Leave a Lasting Impression in Nakameguro | Experience at BLUE ENHANCE KITCHEN
I stumbled upon BLUE ENHANCE KITCHEN in Nakameguro and had a taco experience that was far more memorable than I expected.
⸻
👣 A Sensory Kitchen Nestled in the Backstreets of Nakameguro
Located just a bit off the main street, the Blue Enhance Kitchen has an appearance reminiscent of an art gallery, with a minimalistic and elegant space.
The contrast of blue and wood inside is beautiful, making every corner photogenic.
It offers a modern, quiet atmosphere that feels quite different from the typical "Mexican" vibe.
⸻
🌮 Tacos, Surprisingly "Delicate yet Powerful"
I ordered the daily taco plate.
Seasonal vegetables and herbs are abundantly used, offering different flavors with each bite.
The tortilla is fluffy and aromatic, and the ingredients are lightly seasoned to enhance their natural flavors.
Yet, the spice accents are just right, leaving no room for disappointment.
It's simple but truly a "memorable taste".
⸻
🍋 Perfect Pairing with Drinks
I matched it with homemade lemonade, and it complemented the tacos excellently.
Refreshing yet slightly bitter, it added maturity to the taco experience.
⸻
📝 Impressions
• I gained a new perspective on what Mexican cuisine can be.
• I realized that tacos can be expressed in many ways.
• It’s not just about appearances; it's genuinely delicious and thoughtfully crafted.
⸻
It was the perfect spot for days when I wanted to excite my senses.
Next time, I want to visit in the evening and enjoy it with some drinks.
