Experience of the stay
The hotel is about a 4-minute walk from the H14 Ningyocho subway station. Those with suitcases might find it easier to exit through elevator A6 to the ground level. It’s two buildings after Nakau. There’s also Domino's Pizza in the same building.
There’s a restaurant in the hotel, but I went to Nakau for breakfast. It had been a while, but I was amazed at how fluffy the chicken at Nakau is! It’s cheap and delicious, highly recommended.
Originally a wholesale district, there are lots of local izakayas around here. Be sure to check out the unique izakayas nearby in the evening. Since it’s a merchant town, be careful as some shops might be closed on weekends.
The hotel was clean and comfortable. They provided pajamas. The amenities are the type you take from the front desk. There were many inbound visitors as well.
Experiences during the trip
The charm of this hotel lies not only in its convenient transportation but also in its proximity to the highly popular Koami Shrine among Japanese people, just a 3-minute walk away. It's a small shrine, but it is always bustling with worshippers. Sometimes, you may have to wait in line for about an hour to pay your respects. Make sure to prepare some coins for offerings (like 5 yen or 50 yen). The proper way to worship is two bows, two claps, followed by one bow. The shrine is known for its blessings of protection from misfortune and financial luck. There’s also a well that is said to grant financial fortune if you wash your money there. If you have a 5 yen coin, be sure to purify it at Koami Shrine, tie it with a thread, and keep it in your wallet for good luck. Amulets for protection from misfortune, financial luck, and health are also popular. The amulet featuring a lucky owl 🦉 is also quite sought after. I bought a card-shaped protection amulet. First, make sure to line up to pray before you line up at the sales counter for the amulets. They typically range from 500 to 1000 yen. It’s said that visiting the shrine in the morning is preferable. There are great advantages to being able to visit the shrine early in the morning. You can make your visit even before the early morning, but if you want to buy amulets, they are sold from 9 AM.
After finishing our prayers early in the morning, we headed to Ginza and Aoyama. After watching a movie in Ginza, we visited Uniqlo and Muji, then strolled along Aoyama 1-chome, checking out the Honda Building and the ginkgo-lined street before having lunch at Aoyama Grand Hotel.
