Experience of the stay
Compared to the Shimokitazawa Bettei Daida, the room was compact, but it was wonderful to be able to enjoy an onsen, including an outdoor bath, right in the heart of Shinjuku.
When I opened the wooden box in the room, there was a lovely assortment of confections that truly created a ryokan atmosphere!
From the large public bath, I could see the Marui sign in Shinjuku, which felt strangely surreal.
The complimentary ice cream after the bath was also a delightful addition.
Above all, the Japanese breakfast I ordered for an additional fee was delicious and impressive! There were quite a few people dining solo at the breakfast counter, which made me feel reassured that I wasn't alone.
Knowing that such a lovely inn exists nearby makes me want to return!
Experiences during the trip
I decided to have a digital detox day and spent it at the hotel. I put away my phone, which I usually reach for right away, and took some time to read a novel for the first time in a while.
For dinner, I ordered champon from a nearby restaurant via Uber and savored it in my room. I was rejuvenated by the incredibly delicious breakfast, and the next morning, I headed to work feeling refreshed!
