The location is very convenient, but the nearest subway exit doesn't have an elevator. You need to do your research beforehand, otherwise, you'll end up like me, rushing to catch a flight and taking the closest entrance, lugging your suitcase downstairs – it was exhausting.  Within the Ginza area, shopping and dining are a breeze. Plus, if you walk towards Tsukiji, it's not the bustling Ginza at all; it's a very quiet neighborhood.

My mother and I arrived at the hotel at 12 PM and had to pay an extra fee to check in. Unfortunately, we couldn't get a room with a view of the Skytree that day, which was a bit disappointing. I hope for a warmer check-in experience in the future. Thank you!

Hotel with great location, many nice restaurants, supermarket nearby. I like the vibe of the community when it is less crowded comparing to other districts.

I stayed at this hotel for four nights. It's quite convenient as you can take the LCB airport bus directly from Narita Airport Terminal 2 to Ginza, and then it's just a 10-minute walk to the hotel. It's all flat ground, so pulling luggage is a breeze. Taxis in Tokyo are very expensive, so this saved me a lot of money.

The room isn't very big; at 30 square meters, it felt more like 20. The corner window was a nice touch, though. The bathhouse was also a bit small. Breakfast was quite refined, and you could enjoy the decent view while eating by the window. All in all, for around 2000, the location is convenient, and it's decent value for money. However, if it's over 3000, I'd suggest looking elsewhere, as you might be disappointed. The hotel's location is like Tokyo's Wall Street, so land prices are high, and it's surrounded by banks and high-end department stores. If you want a late-night snack, you'll need to take a train a few stops. I've stayed at the Mitsui in Toyosu before, and that one was actually much better than this, especially their corner rooms with unbeatable views.

The views here are absolutely unbeatable! The lobby is on the 36th floor, and I was already blown away by the Tokyo Bay views during check-in. While the room is spacious for Tokyo standards and has a luxurious design, the night view is especially romantic, making it perfect for a couples' getaway. Plus, the LaLaport mall is right downstairs from the hotel, offering everything from dining and shopping to movies. It's the perfect choice for a date night stay!

On my first day, I thought the transportation would be inconvenient, but while exploring for a convenience store, I discovered Shinanomachi Station was just a 6-7 minute walk away. It has a Starbucks, supermarket, and restaurants, which was incredibly convenient. We stayed in a triple room with a super spacious balcony. While the room itself was a bit cramped, the shower and the onsen on the 2nd floor were quite good.

Turning left from the hotel's main entrance, you'll find the A1 exit of Kokuritsu-Kyogijo Station on the Toei Oedo Line. Across the street, the A2 exit of the stadium has an elevator 🛗, which is great if you have luggage. From this station, it's only two stops on the Oedo Line to Shinjuku, where you'll exit right by Keio Department Store and Yodobashi Camera. At Shinjuku Station, you can transfer to the Yamanote Line to easily reach Harajuku, Shibuya, and various other landmarks. The Yamanote Shinjuku exit also connects to shopping centers like Lumine, NEWoMan, and Takashimaya. In short, it's extremely convenient, a peaceful oasis amidst the bustle. The hotel's breakfast was excellent, and I would definitely choose this hotel again. The staff were also very polite, and registering as a Mitsui member allowed for a late checkout until 12 PM.

Besides the large public bath, the 2nd floor also has vending machines, a microwave, and a laundry room. The Mitsui chain is quite convenient, perfect for those who love shopping in Shinjuku, Harajuku, and Shibuya.

Oh, and to get to Haneda Airport, you can take the Oedo Line for two stops and then transfer to the Toei Asakusa Line. Check the schedule for the Haneda Express, and you can take it directly to Haneda Airport without transferring at Sengakuji.

Every Mitsui Garden Hotel I've stayed at has its own unique charm. This was my first time at the Roppongi location, and the front desk even gave my daughter a cute teddy bear, which was such a warm gesture. I used to always stay at the Mitsui in Gotanda, but this Roppongi one is excellent too! The bed is huge, easily fitting three people comfortably. The only minor issue is finding space for luggage. Downstairs is incredibly convenient, with plenty of options for food, drinks, and entertainment. There's a bus stop just 100 meters away that goes to Omotesando, and Tokyo Tower is right next door.

Chose this place because my roommate wanted to revisit it... Honestly, it was expensive with no redeeming features whatsoever... So overpriced! Completely not worth it.

Let's talk about the environment – the only thing I can give high marks for. The surroundings are beautiful, giving off a feeling of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle.

As for service, there was none. Among the several front desk staff, the younger Japanese ladies were okay, but what's with the grumpy old woman? Who is she putting on that sour face for? I stayed again a few days later, and the feeling was even worse... They insisted I use the machine for check-in, even though the front desk would have been quicker. They wouldn't let me use an available spot, instead giving it to a Japanese guest.

The hygiene was very unsatisfactory. During my first stay, there were hair strands stuck all over the bathroom walls... On my second stay, the towel literally had a clump of dust on it...

In the middle of the night, the footlight kept flickering on and off and I couldn't turn it off... Good thing I had a roommate, otherwise, being alone, it would have scared me to death!

The masseuse I booked for room 1922 on the evening of Feb 26th was amazing, instantly relieving my tired legs. The room was a bit small, and it was very noisy at night with a lot of bikers on the road. Light sleepers should definitely reconsider. However, the hotel's location is unbeatable – right opposite Don Quijote, and there's FamilyMart, 7-Eleven, and Lawson downstairs, so you can easily buy things. The front desk staff were great. One night, I had a last-minute booking for a different room type, and they patiently explained the room change process to me. All I had to do was pack my bags and hand over the room card, then I could go out and enjoy myself, and a staff member would help move my luggage to the new room. There's no complimentary bottled water in the room, so you have to boil your own. The air purifier needs to be filled with water for humidification. Lighting and AC are controlled by remote, which feels a bit basic. Other than that, it was alright.

This is my second time staying at this hotel, and I still really like it.

Transportation: The bus stop is Shijo Nishinotoin, and the subway station is Shijo. However, please note that in the past, you could take bus route 50 directly from Kyoto Station to the hotel entrance. But when I went this year, I found that luggage is no longer allowed on the bus. So, when checking in or out, you'll need to take the subway to and from Kyoto Station. Especially if you're returning to Kyoto Station to buy a HARUKA ticket for Kansai Airport, you'll need to allow more time for navigating and purchasing tickets.

The location is a bit removed from the hustle and bustle of Shijo Kawaramachi, but the surrounding amenities are very complete. There are two supermarkets nearby, a Family Mart convenience store, and many restaurants.

The housekeeping staff are Japanese, and they are very thorough and meticulous. Thumbs up!

Kyoto in February isn't cold. Two or three layers are enough during the day (thermal underwear, sweater, jacket). You might even feel warm at noon or after walking for a while. In the evening, just add a scarf, and you'll be fine. If you have hair, you don't even need a hat; your head won't get cold.

The lobby makes a strong first impression with its tasteful, contemporary design—very much in line with what seasoned travelers appreciate after a long journey.

Location-wise, the hotel is a solid choice. Being close to the train station and surrounded by local food options made getting around and finding good meals effortless.

That said, the 5pm check-in time is noticeably later than usual and can be inconvenient if you arrive early. I passed the time at the restaurant and bar next to the lobby, taking advantage of their Happy Hour, which helped. A nice touch was the self-service luggage storage area—practical and traveler-friendly.

I stayed in a corner room. The room itself was fine: clean, functional, and simple, as expected of many Japanese hotels. The view, however, was unremarkable.

I also tried the public bath. It was reasonably sized and, thankfully, not too crowded during my visit, making it a relaxing experience.

Service was a bit cool at first, though it improved as the stay went on.

Overall, I would consider returning, especially when traveling as a couple.

Stayed at the Mitsui Garden Hotel Kawaramachi Jokyoji from 20-24 Dec. This was my 2nd stay there in 2 consecutive months, despite there being hundreds of hotels in Kyoto. 

Location:  the hotel is located in the city center with Nishiki Market and Teramachi indoor shopping street located very closeby. Kawaramachi is also a big commercial street lined with plethora of shops and malls.  Train stations within walking distance. 

Hotel Facilities and Amenities:  this is a very beautiful hotel next to a temple (and small cemetery). The rooms are exemplary clean and quite spacious for Japan’s standard. Many facilities such as a public onsen, on-site restaurant, vending machine, ice machine, etc. No gym, which is not a big deal at all if you are in Kyoto for a short tourist visit.  You will be doing a lot of walking anyway if you choose to.  

I only visited the on-site restaurant for dinner once. The food was okay, but nothing to write home about. Service staff was accommodating (I had to use a wheelchair at the time); however, service was lackluster otherwise.  


Hotel staff service:  cannot praise the service by the hotel staff enough. This time around, I had injured my foot and couldn’t walk for 2 days. I was touched by the staff’s incredible kindness - they went out of their way to really help me out.

Overall:  if you want city center location with easy access to modern shops and an array of restaurants within walking distance, big and super clean room, and great hospitality,  I’d highly recommend this hotel.

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Station: During autumn, they have a display in the lobby showing the fall foliage status of several temples, along with the day's weather. The rooms are decent, and it's not too far from Kyoto Station, but there's no public bath. You can pick up complimentary toiletries by the elevators. Staff greetings are a hit or miss. The biggest downside is breakfast; it's quite poor compared to other Mitsui hotels, with limited choices and average taste.

I absolutely adored the Mitsui Garden Hotel Premier Kyoto. First off, the hotel's design is stunning; both the restaurant and lobby offer breathtaking views of the central garden through floor-to-ceiling windows, where branches sway gracefully in the breeze – it's simply beautiful. Secondly, I was thoroughly impressed by the in-room washing machine, the Refa hairdryer, and the showerhead! I truly hope I can stay here every time I visit Kyoto in the future.

Highly Recommended Stay in Kyoto

I would like to strongly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Kyoto. The staff demonstrate exceptional professionalism and hospitality.

In particular, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Miss Yuki, who assisted us with our check-in and kindly introduced many wonderful sightseeing spots and activities in Kyoto, as well as to Miss Tsai, a ********* staff member who supported us during check-out with great warmth and care. Their thoughtful service truly reflects the welcoming spirit of Kyoto and the hotel’s commitment to excellence.

I am genuinely impressed by the quality of the team members who bring guests happiness and satisfaction through their dedication. They truly deserve recognition and applause for their outstanding service.

Our two-night stay was far too short, and we are already looking forward to returning in the near future.

The hotel's exterior is very appealing, and they have coin-operated washing machines. The room itself is quite spacious. It's tucked away in an alley, making it quiet, yet there are plenty of great restaurants nearby, offering ramen, yakiniku, and various other delicious foods. Shopping is also very convenient. Overall, it's a pretty good place to stay.

The overall experience is wonderful, they provide careful service and the location of the hotel is really convenient. However, the public bath area is relatively small comparing to my expectations, so sometimes it was not that chill when sharing 5+ people in that area.
Breakfast is great, but if you stay for couple nights, then I suggest just booking two of the sections is enough.

The location is super convenient! It's within walking distance of Gion Station on the Airport Line, Kushida Shrine Station on the Nanakuma Subway Line, Hakata Station, as well as Canal City Hakata, Kushida Shrine, and Nakasu Kawabata street.

The breakfast spread is generous, primarily Japanese-style, and even features the famous Ikkousha ramen from Hakata.

The rooms are quiet and spotlessly clean, and you have the flexibility to choose whether you'd like daily housekeeping. The top floor has a communal bathhouse where you can enjoy a hot spring soak to wash away your fatigue.

The Japanese-style breakfast, convenient transportation, and the hot spring bath are definitely the biggest highlights.
