Experience of the stay
Stepping out of the bustle of Akihabara and opening the hotel door, I was greeted by the warm light of the fireplace and the warm smiles of the staff. 'The Tourist Hotel & Cafe Akihabara' is a calm space where travelers can take a breather.
The guest room features a raised bed made with traditional Japanese tatami mats, allowing me to relax while removing my shoes, which was delightful. Additionally, there is a larger shower head designed for overseas use, and I could wash away my travel fatigue with a strong water pressure shower.
One of the attractions of this hotel is the cafe space 'T&Cafe AKIHABARA' located on the first floor. Here, I could enjoy as many cups of carefully selected coffee as I wanted. Being enveloped by the rich aroma rising from the cups while reading or working on my PC felt luxurious. The atmosphere of the cafe changes depending on the time of day; in the morning, it offers a quiet moment for the first cup, while in the evening, it provides a leisurely experience.
Despite its proximity to Akihabara Station, the interior of the hotel was a pleasant space that made me forget the hustle and bustle of the city. It was a hotel that made me want to visit again as a 'place to take a breather during my travels.'
Experiences during the trip
This trip was planned around coffee, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The first place I visited in the morning was 'The Tourist Hotel & Cafe Akihabara.' The first cup I had here was a fragrant coffee, perfect for starting the day gently.
After that, I checked out and headed to a stylish cafe on the 9th floor of toggle hotel Suidobashi. The sophisticated space designed in two-tone colors was impressive, and it was a place where I could relax slowly. I ordered an iced cafe latte and enjoyed a leisurely moment sipping it. The sunlight poured into the shop, and the greenery of the potted plants shining in that light was incredibly beautiful. It felt just like being in nature.
And the chunk cookie I enjoyed alongside my cafe latte was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, making it an excellent match with the coffee. The sweetness was just right, wrapping me in a happy mood with every bite. The quiet time spent in the greenery refreshed my spirit.
The trip centered around coffee was truly a luxurious time.
