Lets face it, staying in Tokyo can be expensive, but Shiba Park Hotel is a great 4 star hotel very reasonably priced! Shiba Park Hotel is completely focused on making sure the guests are relaxed and able to experience the Japanese culture. Here’s more details on our stay at the hotel.

Rooms

Most hotel rooms in Tokyo can be very small. We were pleasantly surprised to walk into the room at Shiba Park Hotel, as it was very spacious.  Our room even had a door to separate the bedroom and the bathroom. We had a nice big, and comfortable, king bed, and a enough room for a little table for the two of us.

There are two buildings at the hotel, with a total of 269 rooms. The 151 buliding opeend in August 2016, with 70 new rooms. The guest rooms in this building are relaxing and add a bit of Japanese culture in the decoration. Every room in the new building is quiped with separate bathrooms and toilets, and deep bathtub, to provide a relaxing and luxurious bath.

We were so sad that we only planned for one night here at Shiba Park Hotel. This hotel was the absolute perfect ending to a great time in Japan. It was relaxing and the staff were all so friendly and accomodating. When we come back to Tokyo, we will definitely be back to Shiba Park Hotel for more nights. We could not of had a better ending to our trip!

Thanks to Shiba Park Hotel for hosting us! As always, our opinion is our own.
