Experience of the stay
I visited on a weekday in September 2023.
I arrived around 18:00 after work and headed to the 4th floor from the entrance.
I checked in using a touch panel (with assistance from a staff member).
After collecting my amenities, I paid for my rental room wear and went to my room.
My first time in a Yagura room!
I had to crouch a bit, but it was an exciting experience that took me back to my childhood!
The toilet and bath are separate, with an independent sink.
The TV is small, but considering the width and height of the Yagura, a larger one would seem unnecessary.
From the window, I could see Otsuka Station.
After dining outside, I relaxed in my room and headed to the 4th floor at 20:30.
I participated in the much-talked-about Downtown DJ Night.
The songs I heard included:
999 (Galaxy Express 999)
Get Wild (City Hunter)
Cat's Eye
Ghostbusters (Western Music)
Dancing Hero (Yoko Oginome)
UFO (Pink Lady)
YMCA (Hideki Saijo)
Shoujo A (Akina Nakamori)
I returned to my room at 21:00 to watch a show I wanted to catch, but I was curious about what other songs they had.
I would recommend it to anyone who loves retro songs from the 80s.
After watching TV, I took a bath and dove into bed!
I liked that there were two types of pillows! The firmer one suited me better.
While I was reading comics on my smartphone, I unintentionally fell asleep.
I woke up to a comfortable morning and headed to the café space on the 4th floor.
I had cheese and egg risotto!
I loved the rich cheese and the free drink options of yuzu honey and café au lait!
After getting ready, I checked out just after 10:30.
It was truly a wonderful hotel stay!
Experiences during the trip
On the 4th floor of the hotel, you can enjoy breakfast at the OMO Cafe & Bar (additional charge).
There are several types of risotto and breakfast options available.
They also offer café au lait and a soft drink bar for a relaxing morning.
The café can be used by non-overnight guests during café hours!
There’s also a Japanese sake affogato that was conceived in collaboration with a local liquor store in Otsuka.
The menu may change slightly with the seasons.
In October, the "Otsuka Rose Festival" takes place.
It's perfect for those who love roses and flowers!
There's a section along the Toden Arakawa Line where you can enjoy a stroll surrounded by blooming roses (^^)
