Koenji Junjo Hotel

Koenji Junjo Hotel is a guest house with the concept of a Japanese-style “secret base” for travelers from around the globe. There are 5 modern Japanese-style “tatami” mat rooms: one room for 3 people, three rooms for 2 people, and one single room, accommodating a total of 10 people at one time. Since this is Tokyo of course the rooms are not huge, but they have a relaxing atmosphere with a traditional Japanese vibe including wooden interior and comfortable futon bedding on the modern tatami-style floors.

There are separate bathrooms to be shared among guests including a room with a bathtub/shower and 3 restrooms, one of which is for women only. There is also a separate washroom with sinks and hair dryers to use. A common space in the reception area has a bench and counter to eat at, microwave, and a hot water kettle. This is a good place to relax and share experiences with fellow travelers, and it is available for guests to use 24 hours.

Situated close to Koenji Station, this is a convenient place to stay with quick access to Shinjuku (10 minutes or less) and also for sightseeing along the Chuo Line. Koenji is especially recommended if you are interested in Tokyo subculture, notably vintage clothing and underground music. There is also a lively bar scene near the station. You can book rooms at Junjo Hotel easily via the website or by phone.
