The hotel interior keeps an elegant vintage style. Everything from the staircase and hallways to the lounge areas is beautifully designed.
I especially loved the lobby. It’s spacious, bright, and full of classic charm.

GariGarikun Soda
Japan’s classic ice treat, GariGarikun Soda, is a simple yet exceptionally well-crafted frozen treat made with soda-flavored ice on the outside and crunchy shaved ice on the inside. Its defining feature is this two-layer structure, with outer ice and inner shaved ice, allowing you to enjoy two different textures in one bar. Along with its refreshing soda flavor, it is also a long-selling product that has been loved by a wide range of generations, from children to adults, for many years.
One of the popsicles I buy most often in the summer is GariGarikun Soda. It’s refreshing, not too sweet, and really hits the spot on a hot day.

Keio Department Store, Shinjuku
Keio Department Store, Shinjuku is a large department store directly connected to Keio Line Shinjuku Station. It spans 11 floors from B1F to RF, covering a wide range of categories including food, cosmetics, daily goods, fashion, and restaurants. Since opening in 1964, it has been popular with shoppers of all ages for its diverse selection and comfortable spaces.
If you're taking the Keio Line or staying near Shinjuku's west exit, it's super convenient to stop by before heading back to your hotel. You can find fruit, prepared foods, or late-night snacks, and there are lots of dessert shops in the underground area. They also often have limited-edition items.

Kadoya Hotel
Kadoya Hotel is a long-standing hotel, operating in Nishi-Shinjuku for over half a century. Its location is outstanding, located just about 3 minutes on foot from the west exit of JR Shinjuku Station, the Toei Shinjuku Line’s Shinjuku Station, and the Toei Oedo Line’s Tochomae Station.
It's really close to Shinjuku Station. Even with luggage, it's only a few minutes on foot, which makes it super convenient for independent travelers.
