Experience of the stay
I stayed at 'Hotel Enmichi', designed with the concept of an Edo period post town, booked through HafH! The entrance features stylish goldfish art and an antique Japanese dresser that enhance its modern Japanese atmosphere—it was a lovely hotel. It's an 8-minute walk from JR Kawasaki Station and a 4-minute walk from Keikyu Kawasaki Station, which provides good access to Haneda Airport.
【Guest Room】
We reserved a semi-double room through HafH, and we were assigned Room 509. The room is simple and compact, equipped with a bathtub and a small desk with power outlets. The view from the room was of the Kawasaki City Hall.
Upon entering the room, there was a drink set, refrigerator, and safe available. The refrigerator contained two bottles of original mineral water. It was great that there were both disposable and permanent slippers available.
Amenities were self-service from next to the elevator, including toothbrush set, comb, razor, and cotton swabs, along with skincare products, tea, fruit tea, and hojicha. It was well-equipped.
【Dinner】
We had dinner at the restaurant 'Enmichi Shokudo' on the first floor. The homemade smoked dishes and crab cream croquette were delicious and highly recommended! We enjoyed tasting various craft beers collected from all over Japan. On the day we stayed, there was a special benefit for guests where we could get the R size craft beer for a bargain price of 500 yen! We felt lucky!
【Breakfast】
Breakfast was available for an additional 600 yen for adults at the restaurant on the first floor (normal price is 700 yen). Since we had an early departure, we didn't include breakfast. The menu included three types of daily rice balls, dashimaki tamago, small dishes, and miso soup, which smelled great!

Experiences during the trip
The area around 'Hotel Enmichi' at Kawasaki Station features a station building and shopping streets, providing opportunities for food and shopping. The nearby Kawasaki City Hall has a free observation deck that offers beautiful views of Mount Fuji! Here, I will introduce some recommended spots near 'Hotel Enmichi' that we actually visited and enjoyed.
【Sichuan Cuisine - Matsunoki】
Before checking in, we had lunch at the popular Chinese restaurant 'Matsunoki' near Hotel Enmichi. We arrived around 1 PM on a Saturday and waited about 30 minutes as there were three groups ahead of us. There is no lunch menu on weekends, only à la carte. We ordered the popular 'Stir-fried Squid and Rapeseed Flowers' and the signature tantanmen noodles, along with some dim sum. The squid was perfectly cooked and delicious! The tantanmen had a rich sesame aroma and was mild and easy to eat. You can order dim sum from just one piece, which is appealing as it allows small groups to try a variety of flavors. I recommend trying the spring rolls and seafood spring rolls side by side!
【Kawasaki City Hall - Observation Lobby & Sky Deck】
On the 25th floor of Kawasaki City Hall next to the hotel, there is a free observation lobby and sky deck with panoramic views of Tokyo and Yokohama. It was fun to see views of Mount Fuji, the Tamagawa River, and the Keihin Industrial Zone.
【UNI COFFEE ROASTERY】
We had breakfast at the cafe 'UNI COFFEE ROASTERY' located on the first floor of Kawasaki City Hall. The hot sandwich was packed with ingredients and satisfying. The interior has high ceilings, allowing for a relaxing experience. Be aware that popular fresh donuts are sold starting from 11 AM!
'Hotel Enmichi' is a conveniently located hotel in front of Kawasaki Station, and we highly recommend booking through HafH!
