MIMARU Tokyo Station East is an apartment-style hotel in Tokyo’s Chuo ward with 85 non-smoking rooms. Each room comes with a full kitchen including an IH stove, refrigerator, microwave, and cooking utensils. With dining tables and enough space for up to four guests per room (eight in connecting configurations), it works well for families and groups who’d rather cook some of their own meals.
Most of the rooms are two-bedroom configurations. Room types include two-bedroom apartments with four single beds, one-bedroom family apartments with bunk beds, and several suite variations on higher floors that add a second bathroom and in-room washer-dryer. Japanese-style suites are available on upper floors as well. Connecting rooms combine two apartments for up to eight guests. A two-bedroom accessible apartment is available, detailed in the accessibility section below.
There is no on-site restaurant, but each room’s kitchen comes with tableware, cutlery, pots, and pans. Rice cookers and halal cooking utensils can be borrowed from the front desk for free, and prayer mats and a Qibla compass are also available on request.
Facilities include free Wi-Fi, a coin laundry room on the third floor with six washers and six dryers, 24-hour security, and a multilingual interpreter app. Each room has a safety box, air purifier, hair dryer, TV, and washlet toilet with the washstand and bath separate. The hotel employs international staff who speak English and various other languages.
The nearest station is Hatchobori – a two-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line Exit 4, or a four-minute walk from the JR Keiyo Line Exit B1. Kayabacho Station on the Hibiya Line is about three minutes away. Tokyo Station is about 14 minutes on foot.
