Experience of the stay
My experience staying at HOTEL TAVINOS was like a special moment as if I had jumped into the world of manga. As soon as I checked in, I was greeted by a uniquely designed space themed around manga. Surrounded by illustrations covering the walls and colorful decorations, I felt as if I became the protagonist myself.
What impressed me the most was the hotel’s collection of over 1,000 manga available on the premises. Taking my favorite volume in the lobby lounge while relaxing with a coffee was the ultimate luxury. Additionally, the complimentary light breakfast offering bread and coffee was perfect for charging my energy before touring. Although limited in quantity, it made waking up early more enjoyable.
Furthermore, the hotel features abundant facilities to support travelers, including free Wi-Fi throughout and a free luggage storage service, making for a comfortable stay. The coin laundry, available 24/7 with washing machines and dryers, was also very convenient, especially for longer stays.
The charm of this hotel lies in the fact that it's not just a place to stay; it allows you to experience Japanese culture fully while enjoying your own travels. During my stay, the exciting sensations of festival-like cheer lingered throughout. I felt that this was a hotel I would love to visit again!
Experiences during the trip
During my stay at the hotel, I visited the Norwegian coffee shop "Fuglen" nearby. Captivated by its charm, I went there twice, at night and again the next morning. Upon entering the shop, the Nordic architecture and interior caught my eye, and the warm wooden space seemed to heal the fatigue of my travels.
In the evening, "Fuglen" can also be enjoyed as a bar, where not only can you savor carefully selected cocktails, but also the meticulously brewed light roast coffee, which was superb. The fruity aroma and flavor spread out, allowing me to spend a luxurious time wrapping up my day. The serene and sophisticated atmosphere, along with the calm demeanor of the people inside, left a lasting impression.
When I visited again the next morning, the coffee enjoyed in the morning's tranquility was exceptional. The refreshing acidity and fruity aroma typical of light roast was perfect for my wake-up cup. The attentive service also contributed to a heartwarming experience.
"Fuglen" was not just a coffee shop but a special place where you could experience the beauty of Nordic design and the tranquility of time. It was a valuable presence that deepens memories of my travels, not just enjoying coffee and drinks. It became a favorite spot that I definitely want to visit again next time.
