Mitsui Garden Hotel Ginza Tsukiji

I’m glad we booked this location. The walk to the fish market each morning was a blessing. You are a 5 minute walk away! You’ll get spoiled with food options. If you’re a food lover, I’d recommend booking this stay as your last portion of your trip. It can ruin the experience for other stays while you’re in Japan :) The Tsukiji train station is also very close by but with two small kids and the heat, we opted to use the cab a lot more. There’s also a Buddhist temple that you can walk to and escape from the heat. For a family of four (two adults and two small kids) the double twin worked out. However if your kids are older, plan on a bigger room or multiple rooms. There was very little to none closet space in our twin room. We hung up what was needed and kept things in the luggage when not used. The washer/dryer combo machine was a great addition as well. Just take caution on the duration it’ll take to finish. The hotel gives two small packets of detergent but we brought our own as well. Take advantage of the second floor! Free water and ice. It’s one less thing to worry about in your day to day when you can just fill up on filtered water (or coffee). The second floor is also a great place to bring the kids to hangout at since it is only used for amenities and office space. The luggage shipping offered from the hotel was very convenient for us as well. Two less bulky items to worry about when going from city to city by train.
