Experience of the stay
I stayed at one of Japan's largest hotels located in Oimachi, Tokyo. This hotel boasts a scale of 1388 rooms and offers various room types. I was impressed by the comfort of the Simmons beds. The rooms are functional and equipped with Wi-Fi, providing a convenient space suitable for both sightseeing and business.
The location is also excellent, just a 3-minute ride from Shinagawa Station, and about 30 minutes by limousine bus to Haneda Airport. The neighborhood of Oimachi is enjoyable for walking, combining urban sophistication with a retro Showa ambiance. There are plenty of casual dining spots, so I had no trouble choosing meals.
Connected to the hotel is "Hankyu Oimachi Garden," which has a food hall, restaurants, and convenience stores, catering to all needs during the stay. Additionally, the hot spring facility "Ofuro no Osama" is a great attraction. You can enjoy a variety of bathing experiences, including saunas, herbal steam baths, and seasonal yuzu baths, refreshing both body and mind. A nice perk is that overnight guests receive a free voucher for one visit.
With its convenient transportation, well-equipped facilities, and the charm of the Oimachi area, this hotel is certainly a place I would love to visit again.
Experiences during the trip
On this day, I enjoyed visiting my favorite cafes in Tokyo. Since I visited quite a few, let me introduce a couple of them.
First, there’s "unplugged COFFEE STAND" in Oimachi. In a cozy little shop, I savored a carefully brewed cafe latte. Next, at "nui bar & lounge" in Kuramae, the cafe latte I had in a stylish atmosphere was delicious. I also spent some relaxing time at "Coffee Wright" in Kuramae, enjoying their fragrant coffee.
At "kurumido Coffee" in Kokubunji, the mikan cake was exceptional. The sweet and sour aroma spread gently, perfectly complementing the coffee. You cannot miss "Blue Bottle Coffee" at Shinagawa Station, where I had their signature Gibraltar coffee.
Cafes like "berth coffee" in Bakuroyokoyama, "kielo Coffee" in Akihabara, "leaves Coffee" in Sumida, and "Bridge" in Asakusabashi all offer unique atmospheres and delicious coffee, making for a fulfilling day. It was a wonderful cafe tour where I could fully enjoy Tokyo's cafe culture.
