Very close to Origin Kitchen, Aeon mini market, Family Mart, 7-11 and other shops with very clean, tasty, affordable and delicious hot-bento & Japanese cold-salad and soup options for those on a budget. The hotel is perfect for, and busy hosting (during our stay) budget travelers, students, traveling salespeople, retirees on pensions, people stretching their dollars. We had stayed at a vastly larger luxury hotel (Tokyu brand) for the 4 days prior to this hotel, and another even more massive central Tokyo luxury property in Minato (government power center neighborhood) immediately after this hotel, so we can say with confidence that this clean, affordable, humble, friendly hotel on the edge of central Tokyo is exactly what low-profile traveler on a budget will appreciate. The neighborhood is very friendly if you make effort to chat people up. We stayed specifically to save money those few days. The staff did their best: they arranged onward travel for us, and made sure to provide amenities above and beyond the call of duty. The Japanese lady manager on duty who booked our taxi is fluent in English, and the equally lovely young lady from Harbin, China at the front desk (exchange student) speaks English and Mandarin & fluent Japanese if you need translation or an interpreter. Very affordable and clean place. Try to book the corner room on the 2nd floor (more windows & sunlight) so you won’t need to lift and carry all your luggage up so many stairs (I didn’t see an elevator/lift)
