Experience of the stay
APA Hotel <Iidabashi Station South> boasts a great location with easy access from Tokyo Station and is within walking distance to Nippon Budokan. I used it as a base before and after attending an event at Budokan.
The room was compact yet functional, maintaining the typical cleanliness of APA hotels. It was the perfect size for solo travel or couples. The mattress on the bed had just the right firmness, allowing me to rest my tired body thoroughly.
The bathroom had a separate bathtub, a rarity in city hotels. Being able to soak in a deep tub was a delightful point.
Moreover, the staff's service at check-in was polite and smooth. With app check-in, there was little waiting time, making it stress-free.
On the first floor, there are a microwave, ice machine, and coin laundry, convenient for long stays.
There are also many dining options nearby, including "Sekai no Yamachan," casual cafes, izakayas, and karaoke, all within a few minutes' walk. It was perfect for a light drink in the evening and then to return to the hotel for a quiet rest.
By the way, if you show concert tickets at the front desk, you can receive a treat called umaibo.
Experiences during the trip
The Iidabashi area offers excellent access to public transportation and is recommended as a base for sightseeing in Tokyo.
The next day, I took a walk to Kagurazaka, enjoying a cafe tour while strolling along the cobblestone paths. At "CANAL CAFE," I enjoyed my coffee time while gazing at the Kanda River flowing right in front of me. The tranquility is hard to believe for a city center, and it eased the fatigue of traveling.
For lunch, I had a light hamburger set at "Shake & Chips." The crispy fries and rich sauce were exquisite. It's the perfect spot to stop by between events or sightseeing.
