🛏 3. Compact, Clean Rooms & Work-Friendly Spaces

Rooms are small but well-maintained. Each includes a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, desk, power outlets, refrigerator, and Wi‑Fi—all essentials for a productive traveler . A first-floor lounge area doubles as a workspace with seating and refreshments .


☕ 4. Welcome Drinks & Self-Serve Amenities

Help yourself to complimentary coffee, tea, and Japanese tea in the lobby. A self-serve amenity bar provides basics like razors, hairbrushes, and body towels—but does not include skincare items (bring your own if needed).


🥣 5. Energizing Kyushu-Style Buffet Breakfast

The optional breakfast buffet offers a satisfying fusion of Japanese and Western dishes. But what sets it apart is the Kyushu influence—think flavorful chicken rice (keihan), fresh local vegetables, and miso-rich soups that highlight the region’s culinary richness. It’s the kind of meal that leaves you energized and ready to go .


⛩ 6. Fortune-Boosting Koami Shrine (3-Min Walk)

A standout part of my stay is the early-morning ritual at Koami Shrine, just a 3-minute walk away. Known as one of the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods shrines, it enshrines Fukurokuju (health & longevity) and Benzaiten (wealth, academic success). The shrine also survived the Great Kanto Earthquake and Tokyo air raids, giving it its reputation as a “powerful luck protector.”

Inside the grounds is the famous money-washing well, where washing coins is believed to bring financial luck. I usually head there around 6 a.m., when the shrine is almost empty. Walking reverently past the placid statue of Fukurokuju, I dip coins into the well beneath the Benzaiten statue, and pause to reflect. It’s a brief, serene ritual that sharpens the mind—an uplifting start to my business day.


🌍 7. Why Inbound Travelers Might Choose This Hotel
