JR West Group Via Inn Prime Akasaka <Akane no Yu>

Three subway stations—Akasaka Station, Tameike-Sanno Station, and Akasaka-Mitsuke Station—are within a 5–10 minute walk.From Tokyo Station, it cost about JPY 2,000–2,400 by taxi.There are plenty of restaurants nearby, so you can easily walk back after dining out.If you go a bit farther and use the subway, Ginza, Shimbashi, and Tsukiji are also easy to reach.There is a 7-Eleven on the first floor, which was very convenient.The room layout was well designed: the table and shelving were integrated and functional. There was also a compact sofa and stool, which made it convenient to eat in the room.The interior design and color scheme were calm and very nice.The bathroom/toilet/sink are in one unit bath; larger men may find it a bit small. However, the public bath is available from 6:00–9:00 and 15:00–25:00 (1:00), so using that should solve the issue.Also, while it felt difficult for women to do makeup at the sink area, there was a large tabletop mirror on the shelf above the table; placing it on the table made doing makeup easy.Breakfast offered both Japanese- and Western-style options and was very delicious.Beef tendon curry pudding bite-sized ohagi (sweet rice cakes) and various side dishes will leave you completely full!!There was also a wide variety of drinks—even green smoothies.In the women’s public bath area there were an indoor bath and a semi-open-air bath with around 10 washing stations.There were plenty of changing-room spaces and powder-room areas as well.Overall everything—the room public baths facilities throughout—was kept very clean making it feel safe comfortableAnd all staff greeted guests warmly which made me want to stay again.In particular I appreciated being greeted by staff cleaning in front of hotelHighly recommended!!

I chose this hotel for its large public bath, and it did not disappoint. The public bath was great, and the Room and bed were spacious; the desk was also generously sized, so I was very satisfied. The amenities are well stocked. It’s close to a subway station, making it very convenient. Having a 7-Eleven on the first floor is also handy and reassuring. I’ve already decided to stay here again next time.
