Guest scores & sentiment

From 75 guest reviews · multi-source · as of 2026-07-21

Guests consistently praise the excellent location directly above a metro stop, friendly and efficient staff, clean rooms, and the popular large bath. The main drawbacks are very compact rooms that limit luggage space, a cramped breakfast hall with repetitive menus and early closing hours, elevator congestion during peak times, and occasional street noise.

HAJIME

Innovative · ★★★ Michelin

¥¥¥¥

An artwork resembling a planet dominates the dining room. Look closely and the ‘planet’ contains overlapping images of cuisine, which gather together to form a picture of the Earth. ‘Dialogue with the Earth’ is, indeed, the theme of this restaurant. The experience of growing up amid the beauty of nature shaped the bold world view of Hajime Yoneda. The digitised recipes and detailed cuisine attest to his experience as a system engineer. Cuisine that draws inspiration from all Creation is imbued with love and respect for nature.

Numata

Tempura · ★★ Michelin

¥¥¥¥

The tempura fried by the chef as his heart dictates comes out refined. To bring the flavour of carefully selected ingredients, the main oil of choice is Taihaku sesame oil. The coating is infused with bubbles, giving it a light texture. In a distinctive presentation style, seafood and vegetables that work well together are served in alternating pairs. The final dish is the guest’s choice of tendon, tempura over rice; tencha, tendon steeped in roasted green tea; or tenmusu, onigiri filled with shrimp tempura. The chef does not neglect training the next generation, either, entrusting understudie

KAHALA

Innovative · ★★ Michelin

¥¥¥¥

Over half a century since he opened his restaurant, Yoshifumi Mori remains vigorously engaged in food preparation. His passion seems unquenchable: with rice flour and salt, he created a seasoning that melts away like snow. He makes wine and even grows rice. Scouring every region of Japan, the chef seeks out unknown ingredients and introduces them to the world. All this has led to Mori being honoured by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Like a steel plate polished until gleaming, he continues to sharpen his culinary sensibilities.

Yakitori Ichimatsu

Yakitori · ★ Michelin

¥¥¥

Fire lies at the heart of the cooking, with each skewer carefully tailored in both cooking and preparation. True to Ichimatsu style, techniques range from charcoal grilling and wood fire to steaming and shallow-frying, depending on what best suits each skewer. The selection extends beyond jidori chicken to include duck and guinea fowl. Chicken pâté and fruit skewers appear throughout the course, adding contrast and variation along the way. The unpredictable progression keeps the experience engaging.

PRESQU'ÎLE

French · ★ Michelin

¥¥¥

PRESQU'ÎLE takes its name from a district of Lyons, reflecting the chef’s respect for the place where he trained and his resolve to carry its traditions forward for the next generation. Classical technique underpins French cooking in which sauces play a central role. A speciality is duck and foie gras tourte served with sauce poured tableside. Fruit displayed on the table may also appear as crêpes suzette.

atelier HANADA

Chinese · ★ Michelin

¥¥¥

Having honed his creativity through a series of gastronomic contests, the chef serves a unique interpretation of Chinese cuisine. Made using the finest Kawachi duck, the Peking duck is a vibrant and elegant dish, rich in both colour and visual appeal; with impressive attention to detail, the accompanying Kinzanji miso is sourced specially for this dish. The lively sounds echoing from the kitchen and the aroma of freshly made dishes make ‘atelier’ an apt name for this dining room.

469m

Nishino

Japanese · ★ Michelin

¥¥¥¥

The chef’s creed is devotion to his craft heart and soul. Having learned this attitude to cooking from his mentor at Taian, where he apprenticed, he constantly burnishes his culinary skills through meticulous attention to ingredient selection, food preparation methods and use of dishware. One vital contributor to his menus is the charcoal flame. The chef’s experience speaks through his pan-seared sashimi and grilled dishes wreathed in aromatic smoke. Inventiveness and painstaking diligence create cuisine that impresses.

482m

Yakitori Torisen

Yakitori · ★ Michelin

¥¥¥

The ‘Japanese Jidori’ on the coasters means chicken breeds native to Japan. The chef takes pride in using only such chicken, never mixing them with foreign breeds. The concept here is to eat the entire bird. Rare cuts of chicken are shared between two diners, which is why reservations are only accepted for groups of two or more. To ensure that guests savour the richness of the chicken to the full, there are no dipping sauces. Respect for food producers and passion for yakitori pervade every aspect of Torisen.
