We arrived in the second week of April and were worried that we weren't in time to catch the annual sakura season since blooming started earlier this year. Was pleasantly surprised that the hotel gave us a room that was facing two blooming sakura trees right outside our room's balcony. Absolutely wonderful to wake up to the view of the sakura flowers and playful chirping birds against the clear azure blue skies. Besides that wonderful morning moment described above, here are the main reasons we chose this hotel: 1. LOCATION, TRANSPORTATION: It is near Tokyo Disney Resort at Maihama, Tokyo. Just one railway stop away but it was about half the price of our (Ambassador's) hotel at Tokyo Disney Resort. Transportation-wise, we just hopped onto the affordable hourly bus from Narita Airport to Tokyo Disney Resort, then took a 5-minute cab ride to this hotel. Easy. 2. KANSAI-RINKAI PARK: "Rinkai" literally means seaside in Japanese. It's true that this hotel felt a little "secluded" especially since we arrived at night, when there was almost nobody at the park. But early in the morning, we saw numerous families and elderly people streaming out of the Kansai-Rinkai Park subway station to admire the last week of sakura blooms that were still available at this seaside park, before proceeding to stroll along the beach. The wonderful Tokyo Marine Life Park and the Diamond and Flower Ferris Wheel are also in this park. 3. RESTAURANT: The hotel's restaurant served up a pretty decent buffet breakfast in the mornings, and a simple range of Japanese, Western and Chinese food for lunch and dinner. Their most expensive item is the sumptuous Japanese bento at 5500jpy and the average price of other items were around 2000yen (~15usd). 4. ONSEN, VENDING MACHINES: An indoor onsen is available for guests to relax at the end of the day. There were also plenty of vending machines selling cup noodles, snacks and drinks on the same floor. Convenient for those who felt hungry after a relaxing soak in the onsen, even after midnight. 5. ROOMS: Our room was very spacious and value-for-money by Tokyo's standards, with two beds, a sofa bed and plenty of space for the kids to run around. They also have Japanese-style rooms where you get to enjoy the "ryokan" experience of sleeping in a futon (thick and warm Japanese sleeping bags) on their tatami mats. One of the most underrated hotels near Tokyo Disney. You'll love it if you love nature.
