Experience of the stay
Last year, I stayed at OMO3 Akasaka and realized that a neighborhood hotel stay is fun! I thought next would be Otsuka! But I decided to go for Gotanda during the Obon holiday.
It was a no-research adventure, but the tatami was great! The kids loved it too. The view wasn’t great, but it was still a cityscape that I could look at for a long time.
I wanted to chill in the courtyard too, but I succumbed to the heat... I want a rematch!
Experiences during the trip
I loved the Shinagawa Aqua Park during my previous trip to OMO3 Akasaka and got an annual pass! I often go there, but it costs about 1300 yen by taxi from OMO5 Gotanda. I definitely recommend going! In summer, the crowds during the day are overwhelming, so I suggest going at night.
Also, on the 1st floor of the building where the hotel is located, there's the Gotanda Shokudo. I didn’t do enough research on this and didn't enjoy it as much as I could have! Next time, I want to try multiple stores!
And of course! Right around the corner is Tokyo Doujiang Seikatsu. I got takeout first thing in the morning. I arrived 10 minutes before opening and was 8th in line. Even though it's toned down in spices for Japanese tastes, it felt authentic and I was very satisfied! (What I had was porridge, not soy milk... haha)
I focused on my hotel stay and enjoyed a leisurely time in Gotanda.
