Excellent location, less than 10mins walk to Ginza shopping streets. Right next to Higashi Ginza metro station exit 4, but there is no lift or elevator for this exit, be prepared to carry your luggages up the stairs. There is a Lawson across the road, a whole building of restaurants next door, and a couple of drugstores nearby.

We stayed on the 14th floor. Room is big enough for 2 checkin luggages. We got street view, 2nd photo is the view from our room. There is a humidifier in the room which is a plus for the dry winter months. Air conditioning can get a bit too warm. Good water pressure for shower. No amenities in the room but you can get some for free from the lobby. You also get 2 bottles of drinking water for free everyday.

Breakfast is half ala carte half buffet style. Selection is decent. Did not try out the public bath so no comments on that.

Staff are all fluent in English and very helpful.

Would definitely stay here again!

This was my second stay here. I was initially drawn in by the platform photos of the reception area when I booked. Mitsui Garden is a chain that definitely has its unique charm. The room was 24 square meters, spacious enough to open up a large suitcase, and the bedding was very comfortable. The location is incredibly convenient; the Yamanote Line pretty much covers all my transportation needs, and with the Asakusa Line too, it gets me to about 90% of the places I want to visit. There are plenty of food and drink options nearby, plus Tokyu Plaza, which has a supermarket, a huge Matsumoto Kiyoshi, and other small convenience stores. It's extremely handy.

Excellent location close to Ueno Station. Straight from Keisei-shinkanzen from airport. Spacious room (17cm) compared to other location-perfect hotels.

The room is very spacious, but the space isn't utilized very efficiently. The entrance hallway area is pretty much unused, and there's only a small table inside which isn't enough for personal items. The balcony is huge and offers great air; on a clear day, you can even see Mount Fuji. It's very close to the subway, so getting to Ginza, Shinjuku, or Shibuya usually takes less than 30 minutes.

The location is fantastic, making it super convenient for exploring Ginza. From the hotel lobby, you can see the Tokyo Tower 🗼, and there's a lovely lounge area where you can relax and snap some great night photos of the tower – it's really impressive. Some rooms at the hotel also offer Tokyo Tower views; you can request this before check-in, but it depends on the room type you've booked. We had a triple room, and unfortunately, it wasn't facing the Tokyo Tower. We stayed on the 21st floor, and the night view was absolutely stunning – definitely worth it! Breakfast was also excellent.

I didn't take many photos inside the hotel, but this is a shot of the Tokyo Tower night view from the hotel lobby. It's even more beautiful in person.

If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing place to stay in Tokyo, this hotel is a great choice. Tokyo can be extremely crowded, so coming back to a peaceful and silent hotel at the end of the day feels amazing. You won’t hear any noise at night, which I really appreciated.

One of my favorite things is the outdoor private bath. After long walks around the city, soaking in a warm bath is the best way to relax. The water temperature is around 41.9°C, which feels perfect during cold weather. The bath is open until 1am, so you can enjoy it even after a late day out. I already miss it 🙌🏻

This trip was for my Lady Gaga concert, so I flew to Tokyo just for that. On Day 1, I arrived around 9:30am. The lobby is on the 36th floor, and the guest rooms are between 33rd to 35th floor, with nice views. Check-in is at 3pm, but the hotel allows luggage storage, so I left my bags and went out for breakfast and a slow walk.

Near the hotel, there’s a small park and a Blue Bottle Coffee, where you can relax and enjoy the sea view — very chill and not crowded.

🚇Transportation is also very convenient. From the lobby, you can take the lift directly to B1, which connects to the train station and LaLaport. It’s super easy for shopping, dining, and getting around Tokyo.

🚬Tip for smokers: there is a smoking area next to the lobby restroom, and some floors also have smoking rooms.

🚍Tip for transportation : There is a direct airport bus service between Narita Airport and the hotel. From Narita Airport, I believe the service starts around 12pm, though I recommend confirming the latest schedule in advance. For the return trip from the hotel to Narita Airport, tickets can be purchased online. The hotel staff are very friendly, professional, and helpful — they will gladly assist with checking schedules and booking tickets if needed.

Overall, this hotel is perfect if you want comfort, convenience, and a calm place to rest after a busy Tokyo day. Highly recommended.

The hotel isn't huge, but it's spacious enough to open two 28-inch suitcases simultaneously, which is perfectly acceptable. Its location near Tokyo Tower is excellent – vibrant and convenient. Although it's a ten-minute walk to the subway station, there's a bus stop right outside the hotel with direct routes to Shibuya and Omotesando, which is even more convenient than the subway! The facilities are also comprehensive, with daily complimentary Sekkisei skincare sets and various other amenity kits available on demand. The Pola bubble bath was particularly good. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and I would definitely choose this hotel again.

The location is great, about a 10-20 minute walk to the subway station, Ginza shopping street, and Tokyo Tower. While it's a bit of a stroll, it offers excellent value for money, and the room itself is quite spacious, comparable to a high-end business hotel back home like Ji Hotel or Atour. 

Inside the room, there's a large sofa bed, perfect for extra luggage or belongings. You can easily fit two or three suitcases without feeling cramped. The view from the window in my room was also lovely. The street where the hotel is located has a charming vibe, with many buildings featuring orange facades.

The hotel fridge is stocked with complimentary drinks, which are refilled by the housekeeping staff every day. There are also plenty of 24-hour convenience stores downstairs, which is super convenient.

Check-in is fully self-service and contactless, using a machine and your passport.

I stayed for eight nights in a row, and overall, it was a mixed experience. While I don't want to give a bad review, some negative aspects were quite apparent, and in the spirit of being factual, I feel I should share them. 

Let's start with the positives. First, the location is excellent. The hotel is connected directly to the subway station downstairs. If you're coming on the Ginza Line or Hanzomon Line, get off at Mitsukoshimae Station. As others have mentioned, Exit A9 has an elevator, while A10 does not, requiring stairs. However, if you don't want to come up to street level, walk past A10 and continue straight in the direction of JR Shin-Nihombashi. About 40 meters further, you'll find Exit 1 (as shown in the picture). Go in, take the escalator up, then turn left (as shown in the picture), and you'll see the hotel's small entrance. Inside, a woman in a kimono will greet you and guide you to the elevator, informing you that the front desk is on the 9th floor. So, three subway lines pass through the hotel, offering direct access to many attractions, and it's only one stop from Tokyo Station. Second, the customer service was generally very good. Both the front desk and restaurant staff were polite and greeted guests respectfully. Third, the room size was just right for one person, and the amenities mostly met customer needs. It was generally clean, though there were some noticeable scuff marks on the walls and a bit of dust in the corners. However, it wasn't overtly unbearable, so I'd say the room's cleanliness was acceptable. Fourth, the air conditioning in the room was freely adjustable and almost silent, and the soundproofing was excellent, making for a quiet night's sleep. Fifth, the shopping environment was great, with plenty of goods and fewer crowds. The subway concourse connects to several surrounding shopping malls, like Mitsukoshi Department Store and the Muromachi shopping centers. If you walk 200-300 meters further towards Kanda Station, you'll find even more restaurants and izakayas. There's also a 7-Eleven downstairs.

Now for the negatives. First, the bed was a bit too firm for my liking. After eight nights, my back was a bit sore, and I didn't sleep well, leading to a lack of energy during the day. So, if you prefer a soft bed, you should seriously consider this. Second, the breakfast wasn't very diverse. While there were indeed many delicate small dishes, there were only six basic hot dishes, which didn't change at all over eight mornings. It became very repetitive, and I really didn't feel like eating it during the last three days. Third, the actions of a particular cleaning staff member genuinely shocked me. Usually, in my room, I don't lock my suitcase every day once it's open; I just close it lightly for easy access. For the first few days, it was fine. But on the sixth day, after I came back from sightseeing in the evening, I was surprised to find my suitcase had been turned upside down, and everything inside was in disarray (as shown in the picture). My toiletry bag was inverted, and there was some sandy substance scattered on my pants. I haven't even been to a beach, so I found it very strange where this sand came from. Clearly, a cleaning staff member came to work with an attitude and took it out on my luggage. I can only put it down to bad luck. Fourth, the hotel has its own communal bath (onsen), and this was a mixed bag. For the first few days, I genuinely enjoyed it and went daily; it was quite comfortable. However, after a few days, every time I used it, my calves would start to itch (as shown in the picture). I bought a small ointment, applied it twice, and it got better. On the last day, I didn't dare to go. I suspect the water in their bath might not have been changed or disinfected daily. 

In conclusion, for stays of 3-4 days or less, this hotel is still a good option. For stays longer than 3-4 days, I recommend looking elsewhere. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

The location is fantastic! It's less than 100 meters from Kyushu Ramen, and Yu-gumi (a popular bathhouse) is also nearby. There's a great yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant next door with excellent quality meat. You're surrounded by food options, and Don Quijote and Lawson are also very close. It's super convenient to drop off your shopping bags at the hotel after a stroll in Ginza, or just head back for a quick rest if you're tired. Getting to other places is a breeze too, as the subway station entrance is right downstairs. The bed is large, and the bathroom and shower are separate, both quite spacious. For one person, the room size feels just right, but it might be a bit snug for two people or if you have two large suitcases.

I was very satisfied with this hotel. It was clean and hygienic, and a taxi ride from Kyoto Station cost about 1500 yen. When I checked out, the Shijo branch helped transfer my luggage to the Mitsui Garden Hotel in front of Kyoto Station for only 500 yen. I had originally scheduled to pick up my luggage at 6 PM, but my plans changed, and I went to pick it up at 1:50 PM. The staff helped me with my bags and even asked if my kids and I were hungry, offering us a simple meal. That really touched my heart. Plus, the Mitsui Garden Hotel in front of Kyoto Station is so close to the station! I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Kyoto. The Shijo branch is also very convenient for taking buses to various attractions and is close to the central area.

It is my second in Kyoto, and I stayed both times in this hotel - this proves that this is really nice hotel.

The room is spacious compared to other hotels I stayed im Japan, facilities are great, staffs are friendly. We tried the breakfast and dinner at the bar, the breakfast has quite limited selections but th quality was great. Dinner was a little disappointing for the price, but overall still a good experience.

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.

Location, location, location! This hotel boasts incredible convenience, situated right next to the east wall of JR Kyoto Station, just a one-minute walk away. Unlike other Mitsui Garden Hotels, the Kyoto branch is generally smaller and doesn't have a hot spring. However, the surrounding area offers fantastic access to food, transportation, and shopping. 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, Lawson, Don Quijote, Aeon, and Isetan are all within walking distance. The Osaka Airport limousine bus also departs from Kyoto Station.

The hotel is full of design flair, truly befitting Kyoto. The garden views are absolutely stunning, and the rooms are very spacious. The onsen (hot spring bath) is spotlessly clean with a large pool. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied. It's surrounded by charming Kyoto shops, making it super convenient for shopping. I'll definitely choose this place again next time. The only downside is that the elevator has a rather pungent, almost urine-like smell, which is quite odd.

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 service was incredibly attentive, and the hotel boasted a beautiful, authentic Japanese design. The room size was perfect, offering excellent value for money. Although the hotel had a Japanese onsen, my trip was a bit rushed, so I didn't get a chance to experience it. I would definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit to Kyoto.

The public bath was smaller than those in the other hotels we’ve stayed at, but overall it was great. I found the view from the bath very relaxing. Having a sauna and a gym would make it even better.

Breakfast was tasty and offered a wide selection of different foods, mostly Asian dishes. I had high expectations for the kaisendon, but unfortunately it was just okay. I appreciated the professional attitude of the restaurant staff.

Overall, the service met the expected standards.
.

This hotel is excellent for its buffet breakfast selection with many quality Japanese food items as well as it’s very nice rooftop onsen with an open air area, so relaxing. It’s bathroom amenities are also very good quality. Rooms are all mainly small standard Japanese hotel size between 17 -21 sqm. Location is about 800m walking to Hakata station but there are other subways located closer. Will choose to return and stay here again.
