This time, we introduce "Hotel Ryumeikan Ochanomizu Honten" in Ochanomizu, Tokyo. Ochanomizu is an area where you can enjoy used book stores and musical instrument shops, as well as being home to Yushima Shrine, Kanda shrine, and walking-distance from the Imperial Palace. An area where you can enjoy calm shopping streets along with traditional Japanese culture.
An Ochanomizu Hotel With Just 9 Rooms
The predecessor of Ochanomizu Honten is the ryokan "Ryumeikan." Opened in 1899, the sophisticated Japanese atmosphere has attracted people from various walks of life and has appeared in magazines since that time. Born as a skyscraper during a period of high economic growth, it became the current figure in 2014. The tree of the entrance's Japanese pagoda tree (Enjiyu) has been watching its 119-year history very closely.
As soon as guests enter the building, they can see signs of the ryokan era. When you see a quaint sign, for example, you can feel the long history of "Ryumaikan" more closely.
Check-in is at the front where the gentle aroma of original incense fills the room. You can check in calmly in a comfortable space.
Spread out to your heart’s content in a Japanese space
When you enter your, room you cannot help but breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing such a relaxing Japanese space.
Along with feeling the tatami mat which is so unique to the Japanese-style room, you can also enjoy unwinding slowly on the sofa.
We highly recommended the bath made of Shigaraki ware pottery, a traditional craft of Koka City in Shiga Prefecture. When entering, you’ll notice that it is wider than it looks, and you can enjoy bathing as if you were completely enveloped. There are also many repeaters who visit specifically for this bath.
A number of stylish productions
In the lounge you can relax comfortably with a large sofa. Here you’re likely to find many overseas customers headed to Kyoto and Hakone, starting from Hotel Ryumeikan Ochanomizu Honten as a starting point, browsing books introducing not only Tokyo, but various parts of Japan as well.
At the entrance is a sophisticated arrangement of Japanese-style items. Geta are provided, almost to say, “We want you to enjoy the streets of Ochanomizu with traditional Japanese footwear!”
Experience the “Tokyo of traditional Japan”
While feeling the traditional Japanese atmosphere, you can relax comfortably in your room. Later, stroll the city of Ochanomizu with geta, as they make their signature ka-ran ko-ron sound. Please feel free to enjoy an accommodation in Tokyo, which is a bit different from the rest, a place where you can experience the “Tokyo of traditional Japan,” the "Hotel Ryumeikan Ochanomizu Honten!”
