Introduction
Located about 30 minutes drive away from the Tokyo Haneda International Airport in Chuo, Tokyo, Kanto, Japan, the Mitsui Garden Hotel Nihonbashi Premier is a 4-star business hotel with well-appointed rooms for discerning business travellers, albeit at premium prices. Opened in September 2018, Mitsui Garden Hotel Nihonbashi Premier is situated directly above Mitsukoshimae Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, making it convenient to get around.

Ambience
Ambience at Mitsui Garden Hotel Nihonbashi Premier offers a unique blend of modern contemporary design and traditional Japanese aesthetics, themed around connecting tradition and innovation. There's carefully curated spaces, including an inner courtyard with hand-crafted earthenware blocks and seasonal plants, as well as terraces adorned with artistic arrangements like sculptures and glasswork. The lobby lounge exudes elegance and sophistication.

Room
Rooms at Mitsui Garden Hotel Nihonbashi Premier are smaller than most other hotels, and priced more expensively. I stayed at the Standard Double Room, which was comfortable and well furnished. The bathroom was designed in 3 parts, separating the shower, sink, and toilet. The cable television was lacklustre, while the working desk was decent. The place is clean, and the range of beverages in-room is decent.

Food
Food at Mitsui Garden Hotel Nihonbashi Premier is served at their in-house Nihonbashi Asada restaurant, which many have reviewed as being expensive for what it's worth. Specializing in traditional Kaga cuisine from the Kanazawa region of Japan, dishes are presented kaiseki / multi-course meal style, set within a serene atmosphere with a mix of counter seating and private rooms. However, besides the high price point, the dishes are largely the same across the week, making this place good for dining just once or twice.

Service
Service at Mitsui Garden Hotel Nihonbashi Premier is friendly and helpful, with a good number of staff able to converse in basic English or Mandarin. Housekeeping is thorough and efficient, while reception for check-in and check-out is seamless and quick. Love the idea of the Amenities Self-Service Counter where you can help yourself as needed. There's also vending machines and ice dispensers within the hotel. However, the laundry service is expensive.

Facilities & Activities
The facilities and activities at Mitsui Garden Hotel Nihonbashi Premier are catered to business travellers, though strangely, there isn't any meeting rooms. Still, the lobby lounge, with its free and fast wi-fi and power sockets, can serve as an informal meeting area or co-working space. The highlight here is their relaxation treatments, from massage to a large indoor onsen bath. Nothing much for children's entertainment though, and there's no gymnasium or swimming pool. Overall, Mitsui Garden Hotel Nihonbashi Premier is a quiet and convenient hotel, though somewhat expensive.

Some of the counter seats offer a view of the terrace gardens. Service at Nihonbashi Asada is polite and efficient, with staff helpfully assisting with requests, and cleaning up quickly when diners leave. The buffet display has both Japanese and English descriptions. Food at Nihonbashi Asada is traditional Japanese cuisine, designed and served kaiseki / multi-course meal style. Prepared fresh daily with quality ingredients, diners have the option of unlimited servings as part of the breakfast buffet, though variety is largely constant throughout the week. Prices are expensive though, at JPY ¥4,400 / SGD $40 per person for the breakfast buffet.

Nihonbashi Asada Seating

A kaiseki / multi-course meal isn't simply about nourishment; it’s an art form that engages all the senses. It's a celebration of balance and beauty, and these meals I experienced were decent introductory examples of the tradition, albeit not as refined as a pure example. That said, the meals captured the essence, and the freshness, of the seasonal ingredients, being delicious and nicely satisfying.
