Yesterday I had seafood bowl, and today I had eel bowl! It's amazing that you can eat eel bowl for breakfast. This buffet is really nice. There are a lot of foreign guests, so there are various dishes including Chinese cuisine. Some foreign guests have bad manners, like walking while eating or cutting in line, but it's probably difficult for the hotel to address. The food is really good. Thank you for the meal!

The breakfast buffet at Washington Hotel offers a wide variety of dishes. I couldn't resist trying a bit of everything, including whitebait, salmon, marinated tuna, and sweet potatoes, which I used to make a mini seafood bowl. After eating everything, I was quite full, but I couldn't resist trying the hotel's curry, which was also delicious. It was very rich and creamy. Looking forward to another great day. Off I go!

West City Hall Restaurant Gallery at Shinjuku Station offers a lunch set featuring a hamburger steak with sunny-side-up eggs and a large portion of onion rings. The meal is served with coffee and is very filling. However, the portion size may be too much for some people. Recommended for those who enjoy a hearty meal. #WestCityHallRestaurantGallery #ShinjukuGourmet #ShinjukuLunch

West City Hall Restaurant Gallery near Shinjuku Station invited me to a Western-style lunch. The tonkatsu curry was quite filling for lunch. Recommended! #WestCityHallRestaurantGallery #ShinjukuGourmet #ShinjukuLunch

I stayed at the Washington Hotel! It is directly connected from Tochomae Station so you can get there without getting wet in the rain. It is located along the Koshu Kaido, opposite the Bunka Fashion College. The rooms at the Washington Hotel are small and the air conditioning cannot be individually controlled, so the impression of staying there is not the best. Haha. The breakfast is delicious! The view is also great! Just with these, any room dissatisfaction quickly becomes irrelevant. Haha. Luckily, both days were sunny during my stay! The photos mainly focused on the view! Haha. But every dish was delicious! I recommend it, especially with the view included!

Lunch at Washington Hotel - They offer hamburg steak and other meat dishes, sautéed fish and other seafood dishes, as well as curry. You can enjoy a relaxed lunch in the spacious dining area. I had the 1000 yen sautéed white fish this time! You can choose bread or rice. It comes with salad and dessert! It's nice that coffee and tea are self-service and all-you-can-drink!

I stayed at the Shinjuku Washington Hotel located in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building after moving from Tokyo Station to Shinjuku on the JR Chuo Line. It is about an 8-minute walk from the south exit of Shinjuku Station to LUMINE on the right. The hotel has restaurants from B1F to 3F. There is also a 24-hour FamilyMart and Ministop, as well as a surprising pachinko parlor on the 1st floor. The front desk is located on the 3rd floor, and if you choose a smoking room, it will be on a lower floor. Breakfast was delivered to the room in a bento box until November 17, 2021, due to COVID-19, but starting from the 17th, it was a buffet at the "Manhattan Table" on the 25th floor. I chose the breakfast delivery option and had the breakfast delivered at 8:30. The room was small but comfortable with a double bed. The desk was small but convenient to use. There was coffee and green tea available, but no complimentary mineral water. The breakfast was the Beef Soboro Japanese set meal (1,980 yen) with salmon, tamagoyaki, beef soboro rice, 4 side dishes, miso soup, fruits, orange juice, and coffee. The rice was a bit firm, and I left half of it and the fruits to take a nap. Check-out at 11:00 was also convenient, and I checked out 2 minutes before the time.

I visited in September 2019~ Currently updating past logs (*´∇｀) The proof is in the pudding (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)ﾝﾏ((°艸° *) Used it for sightseeing in Tokyo. I used the morning buffet. The miso soup was so good. I have the utmost respect for all the ingredients I encountered. Thank you for the wonderful meal ☺️

I went to watch a baseball game at Jingu Stadium. I stayed at this hotel. It's about a 12-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, right in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. The hotel lobby is on the 3rd floor. There's a Family Mart on the 1st floor. It looks like a building from the bubble economy era with its high ceilings. My room was on the 22nd floor. It seems like it has been renovated. The room was clean and the surroundings were quiet, allowing me to relax comfortably.

The Shinjuku Washington Hotel has been around for quite some time. I stayed there for the first time during my Tokyo business trip. As a large accommodation facility, it has a variety of restaurants. The rooms are not very spacious, but considering the location in Shinjuku, I think they are sufficient. The interior was new and functional. There are multiple breakfast venues, but I chose the steakhouse restaurant Fujita. It offers a buffet with a focus on Japanese cuisine, and the lineup was rich. I thought the taste was quite good.

The rooms at Shinjuku Washington Hotel come with coffee and tea, and the coffee is not instant but drip-blend with a good aroma. It would be nice if there was also black tea available.

On a regular day, staying at Shinjuku Washington Hotel with a night snack bento box included is a great value plan. Despite being affordable, the quality is definitely high. The portion may not be large, but each item is carefully prepared. It's not just any ordinary bento box. I enjoyed it deliciously.

Breakfast at Baron: I had a delightful morning experience at this restaurant.

Today, I stayed at the Shinjuku Washington Hotel. It says it's an 8-minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station South Exit, but it actually takes a bit longer (laughs). The room is clean and nice. For breakfast, you can choose from 5 restaurants in the hotel. This time, I chose Manhattan Table on the 25th floor of the main building. It opens at 6:30 am, but when I arrived at 6:30, there were already some people waiting in line. I handed my breakfast ticket to the waiter and sat at a counter seat by the window. The view is great, with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building nearby. For my first round, I had Japanese food, and for the second round, I had Western food. You can choose between white rice and mixed rice for your meal. I had white rice for the first serving and mixed rice for the second. Normally, I only have coffee and yogurt for breakfast, so this was a really satisfying meal.

I happened to stay at several hotels in Tokyo in quick succession, and this time the Washington Hotel I used was the farthest from the nearest station, had the smallest rooms, and was the most expensive. It was a twin room, but the beds were semi-double size and spacious, although the space between the beds felt cramped. The view from the window was also mediocre. Well, it's a typical business hotel, so it's understandable, but still expensive. Even with breakfast included, it must be over 25,000 yen per person. Checking the website, it's usually around 10,000 yen. Yeah, that makes sense. The reason is that this day coincided with the first round of exams for national universities and the Tokyo Marathon. So the hotel was being aggressive, huh. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is right in front of it, after all. There were many people with race bibs in the morning. However, although the hotel rating is not great, the restaurant on the top floor and the restaurant on the third floor where I had breakfast were quite reasonable and good. It's a Western-style breakfast with orange juice, salad, yogurt, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, and a variety of bread like Danish, rolls, and croissants. The food was reasonably tasty. The only downside is that the eggs are always scrambled, but since I'm not staying multiple nights, it's okay. Well, unfortunately, it seems that the day I stayed was just not a good day. On a regular day, for business use near the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, I would recommend it.

May 3, 2015. Day 2 in Tokyo. Due to Golden Week, I couldn't extend my stay at the hotel I stayed at on the first day, so I ended up staying at the "Shinjuku Washington Hotel" after a long time. I walked from Shinjuku Station, and it was quite a walk, wasn't it? Carrying a lot of luggage made it feel even farther, plus I was hungover, and most importantly, I've aged quite a bit since my last visit, haha. (I should have just taken a taxi from the beginning.) Upon arrival at the hotel, I headed to the new building where I would be staying. After checking in at the front desk, I went to my room. This time, I booked a single room with the bed in the middle. Last time I stayed here, the bed was against the wall and noise from the neighboring room was a problem, but this time everything was comfortable - the air conditioning, the bed, and the layout of the desk was convenient. I visited the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum for a mask exhibition and had dinner at Kanda Yabusoba, keeping it classic, haha. I returned to the hotel around 1 am and called it a night. May 4th. I started the day with breakfast at the hotel. You can choose breakfast from the "Fujita" in the new building or two other options in the main building. Since I didn't feel like moving from the new building, I chose "Fujita." However, there was a wait for breakfast due to Golden Week. But since I was alone, I only had to wait a few minutes to be seated (at a table by the counter). Breakfast at "Fujita" is buffet style with both Japanese and Western options, although the variety is not that extensive. This time, I focused on bread, sausages, bacon, eggs, etc., but ended up also getting some Japanese items due to the limited selection. Regardless, everything was delicious and comforting. There were many foreign guests that day, but it was a relatively relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. Bon appétit! By the way, for dinner, you can enjoy black wagyu beef teppanyaki and shabu-shabu. Yum!

The other day, I attended a conference and social gathering hosted by a major company at this hotel. We use this banquet hall once a year without fail. The fee is ¥10,000 per person, including a 1.5-hour conference session and other expenses. Even after deducting those costs, the social gathering fee (1.5 hours) is around ¥5,000. The standing buffet had 2-3 food corners with dishes constantly being replaced, and there was also a bar counter with a selection of drinks (nothing fancy as it was all-you-can-drink). It was okay two years ago, and last year was decent as well. However, this year was the worst! Was it due to the subprime crisis? Or the impact of Lehman Brothers? Anyway, it was terrible! About 30 minutes into the gathering, I went to the food counter to socialize and have a bite to eat, but to my surprise, there was no food left! The only things available were cold tempura (not freshly fried) and green tea soba noodles! It was only 30 minutes into the event! Occasionally, some dishes were brought out later, but by the time we reached the one-hour mark, the customary bingo game started. I was thinking of grabbing some leftovers to eat while playing bingo, but they had already started clearing away the food! It was truly outrageous! I can't say anything as I am just a participant and the event planning is done by the chairman of the group, but if they plan to use this place again next year, I think it's okay to request improvements, right?
