Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use the 1-minute walk to Yushima Subway Station (Chiyoda Line) for quick access to central Tokyo and the Yamanote Line at Okachimachi Station (5-minute walk) for the loop line.

  • 02

    Request a free lamp and hair dryer at check-in if needed, as these are provided at the front desk.

  • 03

    Book a room that fits your group size precisely, as rooms contain only specific bed configurations (e.g., 1 bunk bed and an extra bed, or 2 bunk beds).

  • 04

    Take advantage of the free luggage storage during business hours (7:00-midnight) on both arrival and departure days to explore the city unencumbered.

  • 05

    Store perishables in the shared refrigerator located on each floor, as there is no in-room fridge.
