Vacations Close To Chokoku-ji Temple

I thought “I’ll believe it when I see it. An onsen in Shinjuku!” But it was every bit an onsen. As well as the indoor and outdoor baths, the architecture was tasteful. It was very new and quiet. We stayed on a high floor with a very good view of the city scape. Very well appointed coin laundries with vending machines, ice and chilled water dispensers on three floors. I couldn’t have asked for better. There’s a 711 right over the road and decent traditional eateries and cafes nearby.

This hotel is really incredible - the staff is lovely, the rooms are big and comfortable and the grounds are just gorgeous and peaceful. I was devastated to only be there one night but it was awesome nonetheless

very convenient for families and with small children. close to JR and metro they have laundry facility in room and my teenage girls really liked the shower head.

OK, so the Hotel Niwa in Tokyo is a literal oasis in the middle of the city and it felt so restful to return to this sanctuary at the end of a long day of the spectacular noise and visual overload of Tokyo. From the lobby (and the super helpful staff there), to the breakfast buffet to the lovely tradition-inspired room design, I found this whole experience to be exemplary. There is no ground-floor window or glass door you can look out through from inside and not see greenery, foliage, water displays, wooden walkways, and under-stated beautiful lighting. When I needed help with taxis (because, for some reason, the GO Taxi App wouldn't work in Tokyo, no matter where I was or how many times I tried) and with directions, the staff went above and beyond to make sure I got to where I wanted to go, including walking me out the front door straight into the taxi and sending me off with a respectful bow. The food at the breakfast buffet represented every possible kind of food a visitor or a local might want in the morning - small cozy dining room, greenery out the window, tastefully decorated, and unobtrusive staff making sure everything stayed stocked. Delicious and pleasant! My room, in tasteful white and pale wood tones, had plenty of space and the bathroom, likewise, a good size with all the amenities and comforts you would want. Honestly, I have no notes for anything that needed fixing or tweaking - this hotel did everything right on my June 2026 visit.

The rooms we chose were small but had everything we needed. Location was fantastic and it’s a lovely hotel with a wonderful staff. Would stay there again.

Gorgeous room, tastefully decorated and lovely balcony with a very pleasant view of the Imperial Garden. The towels were nice and soft and bed was very comfortable. Great location close to the Tokyo Station. Staff was very attentive and helpful. We are looking forward to our next stay here.

Friendly staffs and great food. The hotel is conveniently located right next to Yurakucho and Ginza stations. There are many restaurants and stores nearby. I always stay here whenever I visit Tokyo. Highly recommend.

The hotel is new and has a great vibe. The ice cream in the room was a delight. The check-in process a bit convoluted but maybe that was due to our late arrival. The rooms are small but have some nice touches. Amenities are limited, are available only in the lobby, and you have to pay for some of them. The hotel is conveniently located near the Ebisu train station which has great route options.
