ココロビジン
Located in Ginza 6-chome, the Washington Hotel chain Hotel Gracery Ginza is in a very convenient location for going out. This time, I made a reservation through JTB/JR accommodation set, but I couldn't get a twin room so I booked a semi-double room. When I arrived at the hotel to drop off my luggage before check-in, the woman at the front desk saw my mother and kindly offered to provide a larger room at the same rate, saying, "Would you like a spacious room with lower beds where you can relax comfortably?" (I think she must have seen that my mother looked tired...) Thanks to the thoughtful service from the front desk woman, we were able to spend a pleasant time in the hotel. The room was a shoe-off type, so my tired feet were relieved, and there was also a foot massager. The bed was low and spacious, with a sofa and a spacious bathroom, allowing my mother to relax. All this for only 30,400 yen including round-trip JR tickets (Okayama⇔Tokyo Nozomi) and one night's stay with breakfast is quite cheap, isn't it? The breakfast was also good. There is a hotel-owned restaurant on the 3rd floor called "Bon Salute." Breakfast buffet is 1,500 yen including tax, and is served from 7:00 to 10:00. It was almost full (75 seats in total) with various languages and dialects flying around. The variety of juices available such as guava, mango, orange, tomato, apple, and mineral water was impressive. The ingredients were carefully selected domestic materials, and the handmade side dishes were meticulously prepared. The impressive Japanese dishes were the carefully selected healthy rice and grated yam. Other dishes included sausages, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, homemade English bread, freshly baked croissants, rice porridge, natto, seaweed omelette, simmered vegetables, pork and beans, colorful salads, mushroom soup, hot miso soup, dessert of orange and cut pineapple, yogurt fruit punch, cappuccino, and coffee, among others. There were quite a few items on the menu. I ate 6 pieces of bread and rice, so I ate a lot that I could skip lunch without any problem. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.
