SHIN OKUBO SEKITEI, Tokyo

Both JR Shin-Okubo and JR Okubo stations are within a 3-minute walk, putting the Yamanote Line at your doorstep. Meiji-Jingu Shrine, Shibuya Station, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building are all about a 10-minute ride away. The hotel sits on a quiet street in Tokyo's Koreatown, yet is steps away from convenience stores, Don Quijote, and a wide variety of restaurants. A 15-20 minute walk reaches central Shinjuku, and the area has a lively but safe feel.

Each air-conditioned room includes a futon on tatami mats, a flat-screen TV, mini-fridge, electric kettle with green tea, hairdryer, and free toiletries. The toilet is separate from the bathing area for improved hygiene. Rooms are generally spacious by Tokyo standards, though some have an older, worn feel with stained tatami or musty smells. Light sleepers may notice noise from the street or hallway. No rooms have a balcony. Rooms with lower thresholds (around 177 cm) may feel tight for taller travellers.

The hotel does not have a restaurant and serves no meals, including breakfast. However, the immediate area is filled with restaurants, including Indian eateries, ramen shops, izakayas, and convenience stores. A shared kitchen on the 4th floor is available for guests who wish to prepare their own food. Nearby highlights include Gohan Dokoro Yayoiken, Gyoza no Osho, and many Korean restaurants in Shin-Okubo.

The hotel offers free Wi-Fi throughout, a 24-hour front desk with staff who speak English, daily housekeeping, and free luggage storage (same-day collection only; JPY500/day for next-day pickup). A shared lounge/TV area and a shared kitchen are on the 4th floor. Coin laundry is available (JPY100 per wash and dry). Luggage forwarding assistance is possible. No lift is present, but staff can help carry bags upstairs. Security features include CCTV, key access, and smoke alarms.
