I went with my parents, and since purchasing tickets in advance was cheaper than buying them on-site, I bought them on Trip.com. The aquarium didn't seem as big as I expected, but the dolphin show was amazing. My parents really enjoyed watching the show too :)

I think this is a facility that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. During the dolphin show, the children sitting in the front row, getting splashed with water, were laughing and it was a fun and enjoyable time. The drink corner offers cute breads and drinks.

Although it's small in scale, I felt that they had put a lot of thought into it. The jellyfish tank is a great photo spot. The dolphin show was very enjoyable, including the trainers.

Buying the ticket via Trip is possible to be cheaper than buying from the ticket office there. Lately there is a newborn dolphin and it was so cuteeee. If anyone go there around this time, i really recommended to see the baby dolphin. Also, another popular thing from this aquarium is the Jellyfish zone. Don’t forget to see it!

Enoshima Aquarium

Enoshima Aquarium (新江ノ島水族館, often called "Enosui") is one of the most popular day trip destinations from Tokyo, located about 65 minutes from Shinjuku on the scenic Shonan coastline. Built around the ecosystem of Sagami Bay, the aquarium features 11 themed zones including a two story sardine tank, an ethereal jellyfish hall, a semi open air dolphin arena with Mount Fuji views, and popular exhibits of penguins, otters, capybaras, and sea turtles. Adult tickets cost ¥2,800 (around $19), and advance booking on Trip.com typically saves 15 to 20 percent off the walk in price. This guide covers everything you need to plan your visit, including transport from Tokyo, show times, and how to combine the aquarium with Kamakura.

What Is Enoshima Aquarium?

New Enoshima Aquarium

Enoshima Aquarium sits along the famed Shonan Coast in Fujisawa, with Sagami Bay as its central theme. The aquarium blends the mysteries of the deep sea, an atmospheric jellyfish hall, and a wide range of marine species. It's also known as a filming location for classic Japanese TV dramas including Meteor and There's Someone I Like, and offers one of the best vantage points along the coast for views of Enoshima Island and Mount Fuji.

The aquarium is family friendly, popular with couples, and manageable in half a day, making it an ideal side trip from Tokyo or a natural addition to a Kamakura and Enoshima itinerary.

Enoshima Aquarium Highlights: The 11 Themed Zones

The aquarium's route guides visitors from shallow coastal habitats to deep sea environments across 11 themed zones. Here's what to expect at each.

Sagami Bay Area

The opening gallery recreates the Sagami Bay ecosystem just outside the aquarium. The centerpiece is a two story tall Sagami Bay Big Tank simulating real tides and swells. A school of 8,000 sardines shifts in silver waves, and graceful giant rays (devil rays) glide through the water alongside local reef species.

New Enoshima Aquarium

Deep Sea Zone

Sagami Bay's seafloor drops into a trench several thousand meters deep. This exhibit, developed in collaboration with the Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), showcases deep sea creatures including the giant Japanese spider crab and the giant isopod. A model of an unmanned submersible used in real deep sea exploration is on display.

Jellyfish Dreamscape Hall

The most photographed spot in the aquarium. The hall is designed as a hemispherical dome bathed in blue light with ambient music. Thirteen tanks in spherical and cylindrical shapes hold 14 species of jellyfish that float and pulse slowly through the water. A popular date spot and photography destination.

New Enoshima Aquarium

Jellyfish Science Zone

Adjacent to the Dreamscape Hall, this behind the scenes area documents the jellyfish life cycle from larvae (polyps) to graceful adults. Microscopes let visitors observe baby jellies, and aquarists work on site preparing feed and conducting research.

👀Pro Tip: To stay connected throughout your visit, consider getting a Japan eSIM. Just activate and go!

Pacific Zone

A contrast between the cold current (Oyashio) and warm current (Kuroshio) ecosystems. Tropical fish weave through coral reefs (clownfish and blue tang, familiar to fans of Finding Nemo), while nearby tanks house robust cold water species from northern waters.

Enoshima Aquarium

Dolphin Show Arena

The most electrifying spot in the aquarium. This semi open air outdoor theater faces directly onto Sagami Bay, with Enoshima Island and Mount Fuji as the natural backdrop on clear days. Dolphins and false killer whales perform choreographed shows to music with the ocean as their stage.

Enoshima Aquarium

Penguin and Seal Zone

Home to Humboldt penguins and spotted seals. Watch the penguins waddle on land and dart through water. The seal area features a transparent cylindrical tunnel where curious seals often approach visitors.

Enoshima Aquarium

Otter Exhibit

Asian small clawed otters live in a recreated stream and woodland environment. Their nimble forepaws grab food, play, and cuddle together in daily activities. A crowd favorite for kids and adults.

Capybara Exhibit

The world's largest rodents, known for their calm temperament, sunbathe and munch hay in a specially designed exhibit that lets visitors observe them up close. Embodies the slow living rhythm of the Shonan coast.

Turtle Beach

An outdoor man made beach connecting directly to Sagami Bay, home to endangered loggerhead and green sea turtles. During breeding season, the turtles come up onto the artificial beach to lay eggs, a real life demonstration of marine conservation.

Enoshima Aquarium

Deep Sea Lab

The final stop is a working research facility featuring high tech analytical instruments, deep sea samplers, and pressurized tanks for keeping specimens. Regular workshops explain how researchers recreate deep sea conditions on land to care for extreme environment creatures.

Daily Shows at Enoshima Aquarium

Live shows are one of the aquarium's biggest draws. Grab a schedule when you enter.

  • Dolphin Show (Dolferia). The signature show. Around 3 to 4 performances daily, typically at 10:30 AM, 1:30 PM, and 4:00 PM. Around 20 minutes per show.
  • Underwater Show (Fins). Weekend and public holiday only. Divers descend into the Sagami Bay Big Tank with cameras, streaming close ups of fish and hidden creatures to a screen outside the tank. Around 10:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 4:30 PM.
  • Penguin Feeding Show. Interactive show with keepers feeding penguins.
  • Sea Turtle Encounter. Learn about sea turtles and watch them feed up close.

Show times vary by season. Check the daily schedule on arrival or the official app before planning your visit.

Must-see! The "Dolferia" Dolphin Show

The dolphin show arena at the New Enoshima Aquarium boasts one of the best views in all of Japan! This semi-open-air outdoor theater faces directly onto Sagami Bay, and on clear days, Enoshima Island, the endless coastline, and even snow-capped Mount Fuji in the distance become the stage’s natural backdrop.

This show isn’t just about dolphins leaping; it’s a musical crafted by trainers together with dolphins and false killer whales.

Fun fact: back in 1950s, the predecessor of this aquarium pioneered Japan’s first true dolphin show. Sit here and watch these clever dolphins soar into the air as the waves roll in, set against the majesty of Mt. Fuji, and you’ll get goosebumps!

Enoshima Aquarium

Weekend Exclusive! "Fins" Underwater Show

If you're visiting on a weekend or a Japanese public holiday, don’t miss the special program at the Sagami Bay Big Tank—the underwater show "Fins."

During the show, professional divers plunge right into the giant tank. The coolest part is that they carry a specially designed underwater camera and point the lens straight at the fish’s teeth and scales, or at creatures tucked into rocky crevices, with the live feed broadcast on the big screen outside the hall. On the dry side, the host chats with the divers in real time and leads a Q&A, revealing "tank secrets" you’d never spot on an ordinary visit—fun and educational in equal measure!

New Enoshima Aquarium

Interactive Experiences for Families

Enoshima Aquarium runs several hands on experiences popular with families with children.

  • Capybara feeding. Hand feed vegetables to the capybaras and watch them chomp with their large front teeth.
  • Fish feeding. Special feed lets you experience being surrounded by hundreds of small fish.

Interactive experiences have limited spots each day, and animal feed sells out fast. Head to the experience area right after entering the aquarium to check ticketing times and get in line early.

Enoshima Aquarium

Food at Enoshima Aquarium

The on site Shonan Cafe serves dishes using local ingredients from Kamakura and the Shonan area.

  • Shirasu and Bonito Rice Bowl. Made with Shonan's famous shirasu (young sardines), the number one must try local specialty. Around ¥1,500 (around $10).
  • Signature Japanese fried chicken. Crispy outside, juicy inside. Popular with kids.
  • Jellyfish shaped seasonal soft serve ice cream. Photogenic and flavorful, a good choice on hot days.

Dining while looking out at the ocean is part of the experience.

How to Get to Enoshima Aquarium from Tokyo

The aquarium is served by three train stations within walking distance:

  • Katase Enoshima Station (Odakyu Enoshima Line). 3 minute walk. The closest option, with a distinctive dragon palace inspired station building.
  • Enoshima Station (Enoshima Electric Railway, Enoden). 10 minute walk. Approaches through a retro shopping street.
  • Shonan Enoshima Station (Shonan Monorail). 10 minute walk.

From Central Tokyo

From Shinjuku (recommended, most direct):

  • Odakyu Romancecar Limited Express. 65 minutes direct to Katase Enoshima Station. Around ¥1,300 (around $9) plus a limited express supplement.
  • Odakyu Rapid Express with transfer. 75 minutes with a change at Fujisawa Station to the Odakyu Enoshima Line. Around ¥650 to ¥700 (around $4 to $5). Best value option.

From Shibuya:

  • JR Shonan Shinjuku Line to Fujisawa, then transfer to Odakyu Enoshima Line to Katase Enoshima. About 60 to 70 minutes total.

From Kamakura:

  • Enoshima Electric Railway (Enoden) to Enoshima Station. About 25 minutes. A scenic coastal ride perfect for combining Kamakura and the aquarium in the same day.

Important Notes for International Travelers

  • JR Pass does not cover the Odakyu Line or Enoden. These are private railways. If you're using a JR Pass, take JR to Fujisawa Station and buy an Odakyu ticket separately, or use an alternative route.
  • IC cards (Suica, Pasmo, Welcome Suica) work on all lines. The easiest way to pay for local transport.
  • Odakyu Kamakura Enoshima Free Pass. Around ¥1,900 (around $13). Covers round trip from Shinjuku plus unlimited rides on the Odakyu Enoshima Line and Enoden. Best value for a full day Kamakura and Enoshima itinerary.

Best Time to Visit Enoshima Aquarium

The aquarium is enjoyable year round, but a few windows stand out.

  • Weekdays outside Japanese school holidays. Least crowded. Show viewing is easier and photo spots less congested.
  • Autumn (October to November). Comfortable weather and clearer views of Mount Fuji from the Dolphin Show Arena.
  • Winter (December to February). Clearer air often reveals Mount Fuji with snow cover, ideal for photos.
  • Cherry blossom season (late March to early April). Coastal cherry trees add scenery to the visit.

Times to avoid for crowds:

  • Golden Week (late April to early May). Japan's largest domestic travel period.
  • Summer break (August). Peak family travel season, extended hours but very busy.
  • Weekends and Japanese public holidays year round.

Central Tokyo Tokyo|2.87km from city center
The hotel's location is great, right next to the commercial district, just across the bridge. The service was very warm and attentive; even though I don't speak English, the front desk patiently explained everything. For breakfast, there were at least three different dining areas with a wide variety of cuisines, though it leaned more towards Western styles. It was a very heartwarming trip, and I'll definitely consider this hotel again next time! The wagyu beef downstairs was excellent, and the price was, well, top-notch too, haha.

I stayed for three nights and I think it was pretty good. It's a bit of a walk from Shimbashi Station, and the first night it was pouring rain, so it was a bit messy, but I finally made it to the hotel (they offer free umbrella rentals). The room was very clean, and I really liked that the shower and bathtub were separate. It's very close to Ginza, less than a 10-minute walk to the main street. I'd definitely consider staying here again if I have the chance.

The Imperial Hotel was the last stop of our Tokyo trip. Initially, I didn't hold high expectations, figuring the hotel was quite old with a dated look. To my surprise, it turned out to be one of the biggest highlights of the trip. We arrived rather early. During check-in, the staff noticed my daughter's birthday from her passport. Later, when I asked about paying to upgrade our room, for just around 500 RMB extra, they upgraded us to a suite—such a pleasant surprise! Although the hotel has some years under its belt, the interior is exceptionally well-maintained. From the lobby and the rooms to the subtle service details, everything felt so comfortable without any sense of being run-down. I especially want to mention the value for money. The previous hotel we stayed at in Roppongi had a similar price tag to the Imperial Hotel, but the grandness of the lobby, the room size, and the overall stay experience were worlds apart. Even though the Imperial Hotel is a historic establishment, its meticulous upkeep and top-notch service completely make up for any sense of age in its architecture. This stay completely changed my view of the Imperial Hotel, and it's a Tokyo hotel I would gladly recommend to others.

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.18km from city center
This hotel is perfectly located right across from Ginza Mitsukoshi. I booked a twin room, and it was a good size; we could easily open two 28-inch suitcases without any issues. The room was very clean, and the amenities were excellent. While I could occasionally hear some street noise at night, it wasn't a major problem, as location and cleanliness are my top priorities. The only drawback was during my 7-day stay when, one morning, the front desk called me. Their English was really poor. I tried to explain that I hadn't requested a wake-up call or room cleaning, and that I wanted to sleep, but she said she didn't understand and then hung up without an apology! Later, I went down to the front desk, and the staff member there was very friendly. She explained that the colleague who called had already left and that it was likely a wrong number, then sincerely apologized. I really urge the hotel to improve staff training on customer service, especially over the phone. Even though it was just a call, I could clearly sense the impatience from the front desk! Thank you.

The InterContinental Tokyo Bay is situated in an excellent, affluent area, a well-established hotel with a rich history that has undergone renovation. It now boasts comprehensive and well-maintained facilities, offering a wide range of services and amenities that cover all the essentials. The overall cleanliness is meticulously upheld, giving it a sophisticated 'old money' vibe without being overly flashy. It provides a stable and comfortable stay. The location is a significant advantage, making it convenient to travel to the Ginza shopping district and offering smooth transportation to Haneda Airport. The room views are outstanding, with the bay scenery being a delight to behold. It's highly recommended for business travelers, especially if your budget allows; the overall experience is top-notch.

Given its prime location, you can't expect both spaciousness and a cheap price. The value for money is decent. However, the room felt stuffy and relied solely on the air conditioning, which created a stale smell, as if it had been closed up for a long time. I had to keep the AC on low. I'm unsure about the cleanliness of the duvet; my legs were incredibly itchy for the first half of the night. It only got better after I turned the AC much lower in the latter half. One of the pillows had a strong, hard-to-describe oily head smell. There was also a noticeable accumulation of dust in some corners. The service throughout was genuinely cold. Despite my fluent Japanese, there wasn't a single smile, which is quite unusual for Japan. Perhaps working in Ginza is truly exhausting. They didn't mention the complimentary beer and coffee that was advertised on Ctrip. Ms. Akiko at the front desk, this kind of service really isn't acceptable in the hospitality industry. If you feel so wronged by your job, maybe you should find a different one.

Attending the Tokyo Fisheries Expo, I chose to stay at the Daiwa Roynet Hotel in Ginza, and it was an excellent experience! The hotel is clean, hygienic, and the breakfast is abundant, with delicious grilled mackerel and silver salmon. They even provide Kose Sekkisei and DHC toiletries every night, which is a nice touch! The location is incredibly convenient; you can walk to Tokyo Station and Marunouchi. From Tokyo Station, it's easy to catch a bus to Kisarazu Outlet, which is very convenient – a round trip costs just 3000 JPY and takes only 50 minutes one way. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, including OK Supermarket, BEAMS, MONT-BELL, PATAGONIA, SAPPORO DRAFT BLACK, Mitsukoshi, GINZA NOVO, and GINZA777, covering all your eating, drinking, playing, and shopping needs! **Environment**: The environment is quiet with good soundproofing, ensuring a good night's sleep. **Service**: As expected from Japanese hotels, the service was excellent, with friendly and smiling staff. **Facilities**: All facilities were sufficient, including a microwave, ice maker, vending machines, luggage weighing scale, and coffee machine. **Cleanliness**: Housekeeping was prompt and excellent. Ginza itself is a fantastic area, with countless bars, cafes, Ippudo ramen, and Tonkatsu restaurants to explore. For transportation, you have the Yurakucho Line, Ginza Line, Keikyu Line, and many other options, making it quick and easy to get to Asakusa, Daikanyama, Nakameguro, Shibuya, Harajuku, Omotesando, and even a jazz cafe in Yotsuya. I will definitely stay in Ginza again next time!

The room was actually a twin room, and since there were three of us, an extra bed was added, which made the space feel cramped. We couldn't open three 20-inch suitcases at the same time. The original table was moved to the TV area, making the walkway very narrow. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area. The room was cleaned daily, towels were changed, and even our pajamas were folded neatly. Breakfast was also quite substantial.

The hotel is located in an alley in the city center. While the location isn't bad, it's not ideal either. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to walk to any subway station. If you take the Keikyu Line to Higashi-Ginza, exit A11, and walk straight down the alley, you'll find it. However, it might be a bit tricky to locate for the first time. It's about a ten-minute walk to Mitsukoshi Department Store and Matsuya Ginza, and walking back to the hotel with shopping can be quite tiring. The only real upside is that there's a 7-Eleven right below the hotel, which is very convenient for guests who haven't purchased the hotel breakfast. The bed in the room is perfect for one adult and one child, and since it's against the wall, you don't have to worry about a child falling off.

Fourth, the hotel is exceptionally clean; rooms are tidied and linens changed daily, the bathtub is spotless, and there are virtually no blind spots in room cleanliness. Fifth, the service is great. Both check-in and check-out are self-service, which is very convenient and time-saving, and staff are always nearby to offer prompts and assistance if you encounter any issues. The breakfast add-on is quite expensive, so we didn't dine at the hotel.

If you're a Hilton Diamond member, definitely don't book through Trip.com, otherwise, you won't get any upgrade benefits. The main issue is that I've always been able to use them in the US. If I hadn't thought I could get an upgrade, I would have chosen the Imperial instead of coming here. Trip.com should also have a disclaimer in their description. Plus, I stayed for three days, and on the second day, after I came back from shopping, neither my room key nor electronic key worked. Keep in mind that at Conrad, you have to take two elevators to get from the entrance to your room, and they assigned me a room furthest from the elevator. I had to drag a bunch of shopping bags all the way to the front desk to get a new room key. At breakfast in the morning, I ordered à la carte, and they completely forgot my order. Everyone around me had finished eating, and when I asked the server, she had forgotten about it! All in all, the service at the Imperial is still better~

Shinagawa Tokyo|5.46km from city center
The hotel is showing its age. The location is decent—just a short walk out of the hotel and across the street from the massive Shinagawa Station. The occupancy rate of this hotel is very high, and it gets quite crowded. The elevators are separated by floor numbers to improve efficiency. There are self-service check-in kiosks, though for some reason our self-check-in failed this time. An elderly staff member fiddled with the computer for a long time, and it took us a full hour to finally check in, without ever knowing the reason why. The room facilities are dated and a bit worn out, and unlike newer hotels, there is no separate wet and dry area in the bathroom. We booked a twin room; it’s not very large, and we had to move the chair and round table out of the way to barely manage to lay open two large suitcases. You can catch a glimpse of the Tokyo Tower from the window. Also, there are far too few power outlets in the room—just one on the desk, one in the bathroom, and one by the TV cabinet. With two of us needing to charge our phones, power banks, and smartwatches, we had to take turns doing so.

I was impolitely treated by the lobby staff during check out. Everything during the stay was great, until we brought our luggage to the lobby and I was looking for the express checkout box. Failing to found one, I asked one of the staffs (shown in photo) politely about the express checkout boxes, he swiftly pushed me away and ask my to queue up at the check out with a very inpatient attitude. His colleague and his manager apologised for him while he was hiding at the back office after I complained.

[HOSHINOYA Tokyo: A Vertical Ryokan Experience] HOSHINOYA Tokyo offers a truly unique concept. It is a traditional Japanese ryokan built vertically within a modern skyscraper, located in the prestigious Otemachi district. It provides a serene, luxurious escape right in the middle of the bustling city, perfectly blending classic ryokan hospitality with world-class modern design. We enjoyed a wonderful three-day, two-night stay at the property from 29 May to 31 May. We chose not to make any meal reservations, which gave us the flexibility to simply relax and explore the surrounding city. [Getting There] We travelled from Fufu Hakone via a day trip to Enoshima and Kamakura. We took a direct train from Kamakura to Tokyo Station, followed by a short walk to the hotel, and arrived at around 8:00 PM. To make the transit completely effortless, our luggage was picked up and delivered directly to the hotel by LuggAgent on the same day. [Arrival and Check-In] The hotel is situated in the central business district and distinctly stands out from the surrounding buildings. The discreet entrance completely shields you from the busy streets. Upon entering, staff immediately store your shoes, as the entire tatami-matted building operates on a barefoot or socks-only policy. We were incredibly lucky to catch a traditional jap instrument performance, which is usually reserved for weekends. A designated staff member managed our check-in with welcome snack & tea and escorted us to level 15. A major highlight is the exclusive lounge on each floor, shared by only 6 suites. It functions as a private living room, fully stocked with complimentary seasonal teas, coffees, and traditional snacks. [The Suite] We stayed in the Sakura suite. Rather than trying to describe the beautiful layout in words, I will let my photos speak for themselves. The beds are low to the floor with a mid-level hardness that we found quite comfortable, and each bed comes with two soft pillows. There is also a television cleverly hidden behind a mirror, though it is worth noting that it only broadcasts Japanese channels. We kept it switched off to maintain the consistent traditional ryokan feel. The provided yukata is absolutely superb. It comes as a full set complete with an inner layer, an outer layer, socks, and a small handbag. The material is soft, stretchy, and incredibly comfortable for lounging and walking around the property. [The Top-Floor Onsen] Having a natural hot spring in central Tokyo is a rare luxury. The onsen is located on the 17th floor and features a stunning design where the roof is open to the sky. As cameras are strictly prohibited, you will have to visualise it or check the hotel website for gallery photos. I understand that the bath is a salty hot spring containing a high concentration of seawater and seaweed minerals trapped deep in the ground. Soaking in this soothing water gently embraces the skin and helps alleviate fatigue in both body and mind. The onsen is open daily from 3:00 PM to 11:30 AM. It was the absolute perfect way to warm up and recharge before we headed out for a busy day. [Areas for Improvement] Toothbrush Set: The provided toothbrush is far too small and takes ages to use. I strongly recommend bringing your own.

Shinjuku Area Tokyo|5.44km from city center
I chose this hotel because of its location (10-15 min walk from nearest train station) and the onsen. There is a 7-11 conveniently located right across the hotel which is perfect for a quick breakfast / supper. The hotel’s onsen operates from 6AM-10AM and 3PM-2AM. It was so nice to take a dip in the warm onsen and enjoy the Tokyo skyline after a full day of walking. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a hotel in Shinjuku area that offers some peace amidst the hustle and bustle!

This isn't our first time staying at the Onyado Nono chain. We've previously stayed in Nara. The hotel is located in the Asakusa area, a 5-minute walk from Senso-ji Temple. The rooms are very clean. Natural hot springs with black water are available. After bathing, they offer ice cream. Complimentary evening noodles are also included. The breakfast is excellent – tuna and salmon roe!

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.42km from city center
If you want to stay somewhere with excellent train connectivity, Tokyo Station is a good bet. That said, I’m personally not a huge fan of Tokyo Station, perhaps because I find the layout a little too complex and confusing. The room was quite small for the price, although that may just be the standard for Tokyo. The breakfast spread was also fairly basic. Overall, it’s a pretty standard hotel, but its biggest advantage is its strategic location and direct access to the train network.

Shinagawa Tokyo|4.74km from city center
The room was quite spacious for Tokyo standards, and the hotel's public areas were also beautiful. The shuttle service to Meguro Station was very convenient. We chose this hotel mainly because we planned to shop in Ginza and Omotesando, and its location is great for both subway and taxi travel. The teppanyaki restaurant on B2, however, was just okay – not particularly recommended.

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.35km from city center
The location of this hotel is simply unbeatable, right next to Tokyo Station. You don't even need to go above ground; there's a dedicated hotel elevator in the Otemachi exit underground, which is incredibly convenient. However, if you're transferring to other subway lines, expect about an 8-minute walk for most of them. Also, a heads-up: the front desk is on the 7th floor, but there's a hotel sign on the ground floor for taxi drop-offs. Since the hotel is right by Tokyo Station, you have easy access to all sorts of food, drinks, and shopping, which is why I didn't bother with the hotel breakfast. I could sleep in every day and try different local delicacies. Even the FamilyMart convenience store had amazing food options. It's an older hotel that was renovated last year, but the facilities are complete, clean, and comfortable. What I particularly liked was the shower setup; unlike some hotels where you shower inside the tub, here they have a separate shower space next to the tub. This design makes the bathroom feel quite spacious, even if the room itself is on the smaller side. I've seen this kind of bathroom design in other Japanese hotels too, so I wonder if it's a common feature in local accommodations. The front desk staff spoke good English, and I was very satisfied with their luggage storage and early check-in services. Plus, you need your room card to operate the elevators, which adds to the security. I was out and about from morning till night, so I didn't get a chance to experience the restaurant or bar, but overall, the value for money is high. I'd definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to Tokyo! It's perfect for anyone who values convenience, loves shopping, and isn't too particular about room size.

I went to Tokyo for a business trip, and the hotel was still great. It's quite spacious for a hotel in Japan. The breakfast was excellent, with both Japanese and Western options; I mostly stuck to the Japanese selections. The night view was stunning, and there was a good variety of drinks available. My only complaint is that the price has gone up quite a bit recently.

Such an amazing stay for 8 nights here with my family . Completely felt at home with the plentiful amenities which included daily hand wipes for using while out. Room was impeccably clean, superior customer service, beds were incredibly comfortable with high quality bedding, and the list goes on. Also a great location, in Shibuya, but not directly in the busy section. Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to friends and family or stay here again. Honestly the BEST hotel I've stayed in Japan!!!

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.59km from city center
First off, there's absolutely no issue with Aman's service or its photogenic qualities. However, if I had to choose between the Bvlgari and Aman in the heart of the city, I think the Bvlgari would be much better. In terms of hardware facilities, they definitely need an update. As soon as you enter the room, there's a damp, musty smell of wet wood. We called room service for an air purifier and air freshener, but the smell barely dissipated without constant spraying, only improving on the second day. While the breakfast offers a lot of choices, the taste is just average. Many online reviews rave about the Japanese breakfast, but I didn't find it particularly good, nor do I think Bvlgari's Japanese breakfast is anything special. The Western breakfast is just standard. Many things require you to discover them yourself and then order à la carte. We weren't full after the first round, but they made up for it with extra breakfast later. Although the service was excellent, it was quite a hassle. Afterward, due to the room issue, housekeeping sent up some chocolates and arranged a private car to take us to the Edition Toranomon. This service was truly fantastic, and I'm especially grateful to the young man at the door. It was raining in Tokyo that day, and when we mentioned wanting to find a convenience store for some snacks, he walked with us all the way to the store's entrance.

Tokyo Station/Nihonbashi Tokyo|1.09km from city center
I visited Tokyo with my 88-year-old father. The hotel’s location is arguably the absolute best, making it incredibly convenient to visit Tokyo’s major attractions. The hotel facilities were also highly satisfying. First and foremost, the amenities in the guest room were excellent, and the thoughtful accessibility considerations for the elderly or infirm gave us great peace of mind. For instance, the provision of a bath chair with a backrest was very impressive. The hygiene and meticulous housekeeping were of the highest standard. Furthermore, the non-slip mat provided in the bathroom clearly reflected a deep consideration for the guests' specific needs. All of this, of course, is a testament to the staff’s proactive service and attentive care. If there was one minor disappointment, I wish a wider variety of pillows had been available in the room. In this regard, I felt it fell slightly short of meeting guests' diverse preferences. Additionally, as a helpful suggestion for safety, designing bathroom doors to open outward to facilitate emergency access in case of an accident inside is a fundamental design principle for luxury hotels. While preventing accidents altogether is ideal, being fully prepared for emergencies is what sets the highest standard of excellence. On another note, despite the hotel being located within a major railway station, there was absolutely no noise. The soundproofing was truly remarkable. The breakfast offered a rich and diverse selection, beautifully balancing traditional Japanese cuisine with Western options. While ordering a more unique or specialized beverage took a bit of time, the quality and taste were highly satisfying. The other facilities, particularly the restaurants and cafes, were exceptionally calm, elegant, and quiet, providing a very pleasant experience. The food, of course, tasted excellent. However, you must ensure you have ample time to enjoy it; it can require a significant amount of time and patience before the food is served in front of you. Overall, our experience was exceptionally satisfying and wonderful. With its rich historical background and narrative, the hotel offered a deeply engaging and far from boring stay.

The hotel is located a rather commercial district. It's around 9 mins walk to the train station and around 10 mins walk to the area where there are many restaurants and convenient stores. The room is a bit tiny and it's very clean. The bed and pillows are comfy. They offer free drinks and free alcohol at the 14/F from 5pm to 8pm which is very nice.

By chance, I also witnessed a wedding procession in the morning, which absolutely stunned me with the sight of multiple luxury cars worth tens of millions. It's safe to say that anyone holding a wedding here must be incredibly wealthy and distinguished.

Great staff/hotel/location! This is the second time we chose to stay at Remm Roppongi. The first time in March this year. In Sep. we chose here again coz this is a great hotel. We are lucky to have Mr. Kiyonaga-san 清永 to receive us when we check in. He is very considerate with our requests and tried his best to accommodate us after our trip from Hokkaido. He left us a very good impression, and made us feel like home. We love Remm Roppongi even more. The hotel also has a great location, convenient transportation with subways, close to a lot of sightseeing places. The room is always very clean. And the room atmosphere is good, we love the massage chair, after a full day city walk, we need that! :-) Everybody we meet at Reception is sooooo nice, and even late night, if we need any service, they would help us out. At this hotel, you feel Japanese standard service and hospitality. You would love it here like we do.

The hotel's location is very convenient, close to Tokyo Station, and also near Nihonbashi subway station. The front desk is on the second floor, where staff handle check-ins. You can also pick up items like facial masks, foot patches, bath salts, skincare sets, and body lotion there. There's a dining area nearby, but it's not open 24 hours. You can find hot water, coffee, drinks, and some soup, and also make tea. The room isn't large, but the soundproofing is excellent, and the bed is quite comfortable to sleep in. The bathroom isn't big, but it's sufficient. Overall, it was a comfortable and convenient hotel experience.
