Mitsui Garden Hotel Nihonbashi Premier

Since it’s just one stop from Tokyo Station on the Sobu Rapid Line, I initially wondered if the access might be a bit inconvenient. However, after past experiences feeling overwhelmed by large groups of foreign tourists, I thought it might actually be quieter—and chose this hotel.It turned out to be absolutely the right choice.The Room was spacious enough for two people, and the large public bath was roomy and spotless. It was pleasantly uncrowded at just the right times, so we enjoyed it both at night and in the morning.At night, there was no noise from nearby rooms, and I was able to relax and sleep well.The standout feature was breakfast.These days it’s rare to see so many staff members on hand—everyone worked efficiently while greeting guests warmly. Both the side dishes and rice were delicious.A chef at the Japanese food station served corn takikomi rice and recommended their shaved ice as well, mentioning that even the syrups were homemade.I had matcha syrup with condensed milk, and my friend had Kaga roasted hojicha syrup with condensed milk. The ice was wonderfully fluffy, the syrups were rich in flavor, and the condensed milk had a clean sweetness—it was honestly the best shaved ice I’ve ever had.The front desk staff were also kind, efficient, and a pleasure to interact with.I’ll definitely stay here again when my friend visits Tokyo next time.Thank you very much.

Since this year I’ve been visiting Tokyo more often, staying at Marunouchi Hotel and Hotel Kitano, and this was my first time in Nihonbashi. The chic, calming interior of the Hotel and the Room—designed mainly in black and gray—felt very relaxing and perfectly suited to my taste. If I had one luxury request, I would have liked a slightly larger TV, ideally a smart TV. I would appreciate it if you could consider this during your next renovation. Because it was hot this time, I didn’t use the public bath; I’ll try it on my next visit. The breakfast I had been looking forward to was excellent—I felt it was worth staying here just for that. I plan to visit again within the year, and next time I’d like to try a different type of Room.
