What it’s good at

The fourth-floor OMO Base lounge combines co-working spaces, a cafe counter, and evening DJ sessions.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in nostalgic Otsuka, the hotel sits steps from the Yamanote Line, retro streetcars, and vibrant shotengai shopping alleys lined with izakayas.
The rooms
YAGURA rooms feature elevated cypress loft beds above tatami lounges, with Edo-style storage stairs and deep checkerboard-tiled Japanese soaking tubs.
At the table
Savory vol-au-vent pastries arrive at breakfast, followed by specialty coffee, local craft beer, and casual evening drinks.
How it began
Architect Tatsuro Sasaki converted a commercial office building into a modern inn inspired by Edo-era traveler lodges and wooden watchtowers.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
