Experience of the stay
The reason you can stay at a beautiful accommodation just a one-minute walk from the station for a low amount of coins is largely due to the impact of its location.
First, the nearest Shiohama Station has the following characteristics:
- Keiyo Line
- Nearby factories and residential buildings
- Rapid train pass station
- 3 stations to Tokyo and Maihama stations
The Keiyo Line platform at Tokyo Station takes about 10 minutes to walk from the Yamanote Line and Shinkansen platforms (600m).
Also, the area around Shiohama Station has supermarkets and some restaurants, but lacks the hustle and bustle typical of the city.
In other words, if you can tolerate a little inconvenience regarding location, you can stay in a stylish and spacious accommodation like those shown in pictures 1-5, making it a good cost-performance deal.
As for who I would recommend and not recommend this hotel to:
Recommended for:
- Those traveling to or from Disney (most recommended)
→ The nearest Maihama Station to Disney is on the Keiyo Line, so it's less affected by the disadvantages of the location.
- Those who prioritize experiences within the hotel
→ Recommended since there is a gym and a large public bath.
- Those wanting to stay in a cheap, spacious, and clean hotel near Tokyo Station
→ This place next to Shiohama Station is a hidden gem and highly recommended.
Not recommended for:
- Those with heavy luggage and needs to go to Tokyo Station.
- Those who are anxious about walking 600 meters and have business at Tokyo Station.
→ The Keiyo Line platform is quite far, so for those for whom moving is a burden, just getting from Tokyo Station to the hotel can be tiring.
- Those who want to enjoy the vicinity of the hotel.
→ The area around the hotel is not touristy, so I cannot recommend it.
Summary:
For those who don’t mind the location, this accommodation promises the best high cost-performance deal.
Experiences during the trip
I had breakfast in Otemachi!
For 600 yen, I got bread and coffee, and it was delicious.
