丸福樓

The Facility had a charming atmosphere and I really liked it. The bathroom also had a deep tub that you can soak in up to your shoulders, not the shallow Western-style type, so it was very relaxing. The 24-hour guest lounge was excellent, and although I don’t drink alcohol so I didn’t use it, the self-serve bar setup was wonderful. The selection of spirits provided was also high-end. I felt that the owner’s philosophy of creating the Hotel they would want to stay in themselves really comes through. For a Hotel in this price range, the facilities and service are outstanding. I would love to stay again.

I booked this stay out of curiosity—what kind of place is “Nintendo’s former headquarters + Tadao Ando,” and is it really all-inclusive? It was a one-night trip just to stay at this Hotel, and I was completely satisfied. Everything provided—the drinks, food, slippers, bedding, pajamas, bathroom amenities, and air conditioning—was extremely comfortable. I felt truly relaxed and enjoyed my time. The staff were discreet, almost as if they stayed out of sight. It felt like being at home. What impressed me most was the fully automatic beer server in the guest lounge. You take a copper mug from the fridge, place it on the stand, press a button—and it rises with a soft whirring sound, tilts to pour the beer perfectly, then lowers again as if to say “here you go.” And it was my favorite: Sorachi beer. I promised myself I would come back.
