Hokokuji

Stayed for 15 days and had a very good overall experience. The hotel is located in Kawasaki, about 45 minutes by train from central Tokyo, which may not be ideal if you want to be close to major attractions. However, it’s very convenient for Haneda Airport. The area is lively, with many bars nearby along Nakamise Street. At night, there are people inviting customers into bars, which might feel uncomfortable for some. We added the breakfast service, but the limited 5–6 options stayed the same throughout our stay and became repetitive, so we ended up eating at konbini from around day 10 onward. There is a free small kitchen/common area on the 10th floor with a coffee machine, water dispensers, various teas, a microwave, and a toaster. It’s quite small and can get crowded. There’s also a terrace, but we couldn’t enjoy it since we stayed in winter. Overall rating: 5/5. Great choice if you prioritize airport access over being in central Tokyo.

Great place, a lot of authentic food spots nearby, very clean neat rooms with a view on active intersection. We are beyond grateful to the staff that found and preserved things important to us that we forgot in the room. Overall it is an excellent spot for someone who wants peace and quiet in the room, succulent meals in 5 minutes walk and crazy night life of Akihabara in 10 minutes walk.

GRAND MONday Ginza was wonderful stay on our recent trip to Tokyo.
