Hi there! It’s us, Luca & Nico! Let us tell you about our greatest mission yet: convincing Mama and Papa to stay at Hoshinoya Tokyo Hotel again. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a magical place where ninjas (well, kind of), cozy yukatas, and unlimited snacks meet luxurious onsen baths and traditional Japanese vibes. If you’re heading to Tokyo with your family, trust us, this is where you want to stay. Here’s how we pulled it off!

What Makes Hoshinoya Tokyo Special

Picture this: you’re in the middle of Tokyo, one of the busiest cities in the world, and you step into a peaceful oasis. That’s Hoshinoya Tokyo! As soon as you take off your shoes at the entrance, the noise melts away, and soft tatami mats welcome you inside.

Spacious, Family-Friendly Rooms: Tokyo hotels are usually tiny, but not here! The tatami floors feel soft and safe for little feet, and there’s so much room to play or relax.
Rooftop Onsen: Imagine soaking in a warm bath while looking up at the stars—right in the middle of the city! It’s a magical experience.
Unlimited Snacks and Drinks: Each floor has its own lounge, stocked 24/7 with cookies, juice boxes, and fancy Japanese treats. We call it “The Treasure Room.”
Ninja-Like Staff: The staff are so quiet and efficient that they feel like ninjas. You’ll never see them in the hallways, but somehow, everything you need is already done!
Perfect Location: It’s close to everything! From the Pokémon Center to Ueno Zoo, all our favorite spots are just a quick train ride away.

Our First Visit

The first time we stayed at the Hoshinoya Tokyo Hotel, I was only two years old, but I still remember the cozy yukatas and splashing in the warm onsen. Mama loved how peaceful it was, and Papa couldn’t stop talking about the delicious tea in the lounge. Now that Nico’s here, we couldn’t wait to share it all with him. But first, we had to convince Mama and Papa!

The Great Convincing Mission

Step 1: Get Nico on Board

I told Nico about the “Ninja Patrol,” the Treasure Room full of snacks, and the warm baths where you can soak under the stars. He was instantly excited and ready to help.

Step 2: The Presentation

We drew pictures of the rooms, the onsen, and (of course) the Treasure Room. I even added a “Ninja Patrol” checklist. We told Mama and Papa all about how relaxing and fun it would be—no shoes, lots of space, and cozy yukatas.


Step 3: Make a Promise

“No fighting, no running, no splashing in the onsen,” we promised. Mama smiled, Papa laughed, and they finally said yes!

The onsen is amazing for all ages. We loved soaking while looking up at the sky, and Mama loved the peaceful vibe. Nico had fun splashing around in our private bath without worrying about disturbing anyone.

Snacks Anytime, Anywhere
Imagine this: juice boxes, cookies, and Japanese treats available 24/7. Nico and I felt like treasure hunters, exploring the lounge for new goodies. Mama loved the tea, and Papa even tried some sake.

Incredible Service
The staff is always one step ahead, whether it’s tidying up or bringing extra towels. Nico and I made it our mission to spot a ninja, but they’re just too sneaky!
