The Blossom Hibiya Tokyo Review: 4-Star Hotel with Great Views & Breakfast

For travelers looking for a hotel with great views in central Tokyo, THE BLOSSOM HIBIYA, which occupies an entire high-rise building between Shinbashi and Hibiya, deserves your attention. Its rooms are located from the 19th to the 27th floor, ensuring a clear advantage: every room offers a view of the Tokyo city skyline. Thanks to its excellent accessibility—a 5-minute walk from the Hibiya exit of JR Shinbashi Station and a 2-minute walk from Uchisaiwaicho Station—you can travel all over Tokyo without needing to change lines. Its location within walking distance to Hibiya Park and Ginza makes it ideal for both sightseeing and business.

Travelers who have actually visited this hotel consistently highlight two things. First is the Japanese-style breakfast buffet at the 18th-floor restaurant ‘Sotoroku’ (十十六), and second is the relaxing free lounge on the 19th floor. The use of Simmons pocket coil mattresses in all rooms and the standard provision of humidifying air purifiers are thoughtful touches considering Tokyo’s dry climate—features not easily found in other hotels. Additionally, the presence of a FamilyMart convenience store and coin laundries (on the 20th and 24th floors) within the building ensures convenience even for long-term guests.

💡 Pro Tips for Staying at The Blossom Hibiya

1. The 19th-floor free lounge is open 24 hours, so you can use it to wait or relax with free coffee before check-in (15:00) or after check-out (11:00). It’s convenient to leave your luggage at the front desk first.
2. The breakfast buffet’s last entry is at 09:30, with food service only until 09:45. If you enter late, you’ll have a short time to eat. If possible, visit around 08:00 to enjoy freshly prepared items like tempura comfortably.
3. Coin laundries are on the 20th and 24th floors. You can exchange coins at the front desk. You can check the washing status in real-time on your room’s TV, which is very useful for long stays.
4. Rooms facing southwest (Shinbashi side) offer views of the city skyline, including Tokyo Tower, and sunsets. In contrast, rooms facing northeast (Hibiya side) may have construction sites in view. If views and night scenery are a priority, it’s advantageous to request a southwest-facing (Shinbashi view) room when booking.
5. With a FamilyMart inside the building and a Lawson across the street, you won’t have trouble buying late-night snacks or drinks. Also, using the TV’s Chromecast feature, you can mirror your smartphone screen, allowing you to enjoy your personal streaming service subscriptions (like Netflix) on the room’s TV.
