Experience of the stay
"Hotel Plus Hostel Tokyo Akihabara," located in the Asakusabashi area, retains the charm of old Tokyo. While HafH only offers dormitory-style reservations, it provides a clean and comfortable environment.
The lounge on the first floor is equipped with Wi-Fi and power outlets, making it perfect for tasks before and after check-in, as well as for online meetings. It’s an enjoyable environment for those who want to balance work and travel.
Guest rooms are fitted with lockers for security, ensuring peace of mind. The shared showers and washbasins are bright and clean, providing a refreshing experience.
Additionally, accessing from "Asakusabashi Station" is smoother compared to "Akihabara Station." The charming location is well-balanced for both tourist and business bases.
Experiences during the trip
One of the highlights during my stay was exploring the local gourmet scene. At the nearby cafe "Bridge," I enjoyed the aroma and deep flavor of hand-dripped coffee, perfectly paired with a moist and rich cheesecake, allowing for a pleasant break in a cozy setting.
For dinner, I headed to the ramen shop "Sōmen" close to Asakusabashi Station. The thick noodles combined with a rich seafood-based broth provided a satisfying meal that left me wanting to drink every last drop of the soup. It was perfect for unwinding after a long day's work.
The next day, I ventured a bit further to Nishiogikubo. At "typica," I was amazed by a parfait loaded with seasonal figs that offered a luxurious taste of the season, blending sweetness and juiciness beautifully. To finish, I enjoyed a pineapple keema curry fragrant with spices, where the sweetness of the pineapple and the spiciness of the spices melded together in a delightful way.
Using my hotel as a base, exploring Tokyo's cafes and eateries brings a delightful aspect to the journey.
