Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Akihabara Station is a short walk away, opening onto the neon arcades and multistory electronics shops of Electric Town.

Each cabin has high ceilings and roll screens instead of locking doors. First Class units add floor space for luggage.
The baths
Deep soaking tubs sit against glossy black tiles in the first-floor bathhouses, with individual shower stalls alongside.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
