Experience of the stay
Turning right at the intersection where a 7-Eleven is on your right side while keeping Tokyo Dome City on your left, you walk along Ikizaka Street for a while, then turn left when you see the entrance to Toyo Gakuen University. The hotel is located just a bit further into the residential area. Without Google Maps, I might have easily passed by it, but the sign 'the b' at the hotel entrance stands out firmly.
I booked this place because I was searching for a convenient location to return home from Haneda Airport the next day and was also attracted to the spacious bath.
The bath, resembling a hinoki (cypress) bath, had a pleasant aroma. There was a sauna as well, which was nice. While it's not very spacious, making it a bit necessary to share with other guests, it can accommodate about five people in the bath, washing area, and sauna. Thus, it allows for a relaxing experience without worrying too much about others.
The free service called 'Tottette' was fun. On the day I stayed, there was an evening ice cream service. There was a machine and freezer near the front desk where you could set it up yourself and dispense into a cup. It was like a mini soft-serve, and I chose mango, which was a nice treat after the bath. Coffee is available for free at any time, so I enjoyed my mango ice cream with a coffee. The coffee maker allowed me to choose between espresso and regular coffee, which was quite delightful.
For amenities, you can take what you need from the shelf behind the front desk, which includes an exquisite touch with rose hip and lemongrass herbal tea.
Experiences during the trip
For breakfast, while the hotel offers a meal for around 1300 yen, this time I chose the nearby NEW YORKER'S Cafe. It feels somewhat like Ginza Runoharu, and I ordered a cream cheese bagel set with salad and coffee for 530 yen. It's reasonably priced, delicious, and the shop was comfortable, making me want to return; I even downloaded their app on impulse. In Tokyo Dome City, there are also Starbucks and bakeries that open at 8 AM, so I'm looking forward to enjoying those next time.
When I travel, I usually visit the nearby shrines. This time, I visited Misaki Inari Shrine and Kitano Shrine Tokyo Branch. Both were small yet exuded a tranquil atmosphere, reminiscent of a divine abode. During moments when I feel rushed, I find peace by passing under the torii gate of the shrine and putting my hands together in prayer. I logged into an account for a search site for the eight million gods and even received an electronic goshuin. Although this is not an official one, it is quite enjoyable. I haven't visited Kagawa's Kotohira Shrine in a long time, and I'm tempted to climb those steps to worship there again.
Next to Konpira-san, there was the Hōshō Nōgakudō. I thought it would be nice to stay here next time to watch a Noh performance, and it sparked ideas for my next trip.
