The hotel is located about three minutes’ walk from Higashi-ginza Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and Toei Asakusa Line and Tsukiji Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line in a site directly between Ginza, a hub for designer brand stores from Japan and overseas and for large-scale commercial facilities, and Tsukiji, a popular, lively district where visitors can enjoy a distinctively Japanese experience. Local attractions include Tsukiji Honganji temple and the Tsukiji Outer Market. It is also just 10 minutes on foot from the Ginza 4-Chome intersection, which is the heart of the Ginza district. This makes it one of the best locations for a Tokyo visit, enabling guests to enjoy culture, history, gourmet cuisine, shopping and many other experiences.

This helps guests to switch gears and enjoy a relaxing time between sight-seeing activities.
Check-out can also be carried out from inside the guest rooms, reducing stress even further.

   It also features a self-service cloakroom where guests can conveniently store their luggage before check-in or after check-out.

4. Restaurant and cafe
   The hotel features the first Tokyo restaurant to be opened by the Ono Group. The Ono Group has developed restaurants in a wide range of genres, including boutique inn and restaurants that have been included in the Michelin Guide, mainly in Fukuoka and Kyoto.
   The restaurant is situated on the 14th floor, the highest floor, and provides dishes cooked over wood fires at a high heat that draws out the full flavor of the ingredients. Elements such as an open kitchen where the wood fires can be seen burning give the space a live feel and customers can enjoy a menu with a diverse selection of Western, Japanese, and Chinese dishes that draw on the Ono Group’s vast experience.
   The first floor features a café and deli where not only guests, but also other visitors to the neighborhood can freely stop by. It offers a seasonal “eat-and-go” menu, and in addition to this, guests can enjoy a relaxing café time together with a glass of wine in the spacious lobby or guest rooms.
