This hotel was conveniently located in the heart of Akihabara, yet tucked away from the main road. It allowed you to fully enjoy the neighbourhood and have easy access to the metro, while still being able to rest in a peaceful environment.

You must try this restaurant. It’s a small, intimate spot with a high counter surrounding the open kitchen, where the chefs cook right in front of you. It’s as much a visual experience as it is a delicious one.
