Experience of the stay
This time, I stayed at Hilton Tokyo Odaiba, located in Odaiba.
It opened in March 1996 and is a large hotel situated on the waterfront of Tokyo Bay.
All 453 guest rooms have private balconies, allowing a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay and the Rainbow Bridge.
The room type I stayed in was the Twin Premium Executive.
The room size is 40㎡ with twin beds sized 120cm x 200cm.
It’s well-equipped with amenities, and the mineral water in the room surprisingly comes in glass bottles.
There was also a Bluetooth speaker placed under the TV.
The view from the balcony of the Rainbow Bridge was indeed stunning as rumored.
The only downside in the room was the limited number of power outlets.
There were no USB power supplies or adapters, which was somewhat disappointing.
It’s understandable, given that it’s a hotel from nearly 30 years ago.
I booked a plan that allows access to the executive lounge, so I went for the afternoon tea service right away.
It was very fulfilling; if you can access the executive lounge, you won’t need to eat out, haha.
On the night of my stay, I had a reservation at a yakiniku restaurant in Aqua City Odaiba but ended up feeling full from the lounge’s cocktail service...
So, if you book an executive room, keep your subsequent meals in mind.
I highly recommend the view from the room’s balcony, especially the night view.
You can see the Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Tower right in front, and the Skytree on the right.
In the summer season, many yakatabune (traditional boats) were out.
Breakfast was a delightful buffet style, so I was able to fill my stomach from the morning.
The satisfaction level of the executive lounge is really high, so I definitely recommend it when staying.
Additionally, the hotel has a fitness center and a separately charged facility called "An Spa TOKYO," which includes a pool, jet bath, and sauna, but I didn’t use them this time.
The night view from the pool is said to be very beautiful, so if I have the chance next time, I'd like to go there.
I had known about the Hilton in Odaiba for a long time, but I never expected to stay here through HafH.
If HafH hadn't taken me on this trip, I might never have had the chance to stay here.
Experiences during the trip
Odaiba has plenty of spots to enjoy.
On the day of my stay, I visited "teamLab Planets TOKYO DMM," which I hadn't been to before.
I've been to teamLab facilities in Saitama and Osaka, and this makes it the third one for me.
teamLab Planets TOKYO is indeed large in scale.
What surprised me was that more than half of the visitors were from overseas.
It feels like the promotion is doing well, and they're successfully attracting international guests.
The exhibition content is wonderful, but I do have the impression that the entrance fee is a bit high.
The next day after my stay, I went to the Immersive Fort Tokyo, which opened in 2024.
This is in the same location where Venus Fort used to be, completely transformed into an immersive theme park while retaining the structure.
The admission fee is also quite high, with a 1-day pass costing 6,800 yen.
Moreover, the paid attractions are an additional 3,500 yen and up.
However, the paid attractions are amazing. I experienced "The Sherlock," which immerses you in the world of Sherlock Holmes, and "Tokyo Revengers Immersive Escape," both of which had high-quality performances from the cast and were very enjoyable!
Having the actors interact with you is also one of the fun aspects.
On the other hand, the non-paid attractions might be ordinary.
So, if you're thinking about going, I definitely recommend experiencing the paid attractions!
