Experience of the stay
I stayed at "Slash Kawasaki" through HafH! It's a convenient hotel with a lounge just a 5-minute walk from Kawasaki Station.
【Rooftop Terrace】
The best recommendation at Slash Kawasaki is the 10th-floor rooftop terrace! We went there after dinner, and the indirect lighting hitting the greenery made for a stylish and comfortable space.
It's self-service and available 24 hours. There's a wide variety of free drinks, and I was happy to see TEARTH and café syrups available. A microwave is also located here.
【Room】
The hotel is perfect for fandom activities with its 80-inch projector. The room is honestly small... but the electric bed was so comfortable that I didn't mind staying in bed! The pajamas were also a separate type and felt great.
The bath and toilet are separate, with only a shower and no bathtub. I found the bath towels a bit thin. The amenities include toothbrushes and bottled shampoo left in the room ahead of time. I also received basic skincare products, hair ties, headbands, and earplugs at the amenity bar in front of the front desk.
【Lounge】
The lobby lounge on the first floor, which also serves as a restaurant, can be used as a coworking space. There are power outlets available, and I was able to work well on my PC.
【Free Beer】
Guests can enjoy free draft beer in the lounge during happy hour from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM. The Heartland draft was delicious! It was a great refreshment before dinner, especially since I had been working on my PC right before.
【Restaurant】
Located on the first floor of the hotel, the café & bar offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We opted for breakfast for an additional fee and it was very delicious!
Breakfast includes five main choices, and alongside salad, fruit, yogurt, and a buffet with cereal and drinks. I chose the "Hummus Vegetable Wrap Sandwich with Beans and Tuna" and the "Bacon and Egg French Toast," both loaded with good veggies.
Experiences during the trip
We stayed one night at Slash Kawasaki, which has a coworking space, as we had plans at Kawasaki Station the next morning.
It was our first time staying in Kawasaki, and we were excited about yakiniku... so we couldn't wait! After checking in, we worked on our PCs while enjoying the complimentary draft beer, and soon headed out.
For dinner, we walked 8 minutes from the hotel to "Sumibiyakiyaki Daishogun." When we tried to go without a reservation before 6 PM, we were allowed to enter for a limited time. It got fully booked shortly after with just reservation customers, so it seems good to make a reservation in advance. The restaurant had a Showa retro atmosphere, with many box seats on the first floor.
The menu included not only classics but also rare items like grilled beef tail and Hayama beef ribs, all of which were delicious. We were surprised to be able to try the rare Hayama beef.
When visiting a long-established yakiniku restaurant, I'm always excited for their original sauce, and this one had a pleasantly sweet flavor. I recommend a drink called "Makgeolli Hana," a domestic makgeolli, which is dry and pairs well with grilled meat.
For the finale, the restaurant's signature dish, "Kalbi Soup," which has remained unchanged for 60 years, was rich in garlic and hearty, leaving us very satisfied!
