Experience of the stay
While Ginza and Tsukiji grab the spotlight in Chuo Ward, Hamacho is actually a hidden gem.
Amidst a town filled with office buildings and apartments, a magnificent structure suddenly appears, enveloped by trees. That is 【 HAMACHO HOTEL 】.
The closest stations are Suitengumae, Ningyocho, and Hamacho, all within a great walking distance of just 7 to 10 minutes. Despite being in the city, as soon as you arrive, a different world’s atmosphere surrounds you.
The entrance is spacious, and on the same floor, there are a dining bar and the chocolate shop 【nel】 that has also been featured on TV.
You can’t help but feel excited before your stay, thinking, 'Wait, is all of this in the same facility?!'
This time I stayed in a semi-double room. Despite being close to the metropolitan expressway and major roads, it was surprisingly quiet.
Outside the window is greenery, and some rooms even have terrace seating surrounded by trees. You feel as though you are staying in a forest cottage that makes you forget you are in the city.
The bed is semi-double and spacious. An air purifier is also provided, which is a great point for someone like me with pollen allergies. By the window, there’s a sofa-type chair and table, allowing you to lie down and relax while enjoying the outside view. The bathroom and toilet are in the same room, but they are designed to be spacious, ensuring zero crampiness.
The facilities are neatly stored away on wall-mounted shelves, and I was impressed wanting to replicate this storage technique!
The room wear is soft and comfortable.
In addition to amenities you can choose yourself at check-in, you can even enjoy an experience of making original bath salts. This hotel transforms mere accommodation into a special experience.
Experiences during the trip
Inside the facility, the popular store 【nel】 offers high-quality chocolate that you can enjoy. It's great to have it in-store, and the wonderful packaging makes for a delightful souvenir. You can enjoy a leisurely walk around the area while taking in the views of the Sumida River, and there are hidden eateries scattered throughout. It's a captivating area that you'll never fully explore.
Moreover, a highly personal recommendation is the Kasai Junction of the metropolitan expressway. If you're a car enthusiast, you can relate to this; its futuristic appearance when viewed from below at midnight looks like some mysterious ruin. It’s truly stunning… I might have gotten a bit too excited describing it.
Despite being in the city center, it's tranquil, surrounded by greenery, and the area is enjoyable. HAMACHO HOTEL has a kind of addictive quality that makes you want to plan your next stay as 'I’ll stay again'. Buy some chocolate, make bath salts, and at night enjoy star gazing on the terrace… Surely, you will also find yourself thinking, 'I want to come back to this hotel' right?
