When looking at the map, it seemed like Shinbashi Station was right nearby, but it's actually a decent walk. During business trips, I often skip breakfast to avoid consuming too many calories, but... (except for the breakfast buffet at luxury hotels). It's getting harder to find affordable hotels as the situation with COVID seems to be improving. I managed to book a relatively cheap Super Hotel, but it only offered a plan with breakfast included. Despite overdrinking last night and planning to eat and drink heavily today, I wanted to skip breakfast. However, it felt wasteful not to eat anything when it was included, so I decided to have just one bowl of beef curry. It was surprisingly delicious. After checking out, I extended my walk to the National Museum of Nature and Science in Ueno to see the dinosaur exhibit. It was truly amazing!

From Shimbashi Station Uchisaiwaicho Exit, it's about an 8-minute walk crossing Shintora Street. Look out for the yellow sign. Due to work reasons, I checked in a bit early and got to enjoy the "Welcome Bar." There was a wide variety of alcoholic and soft drinks available for unlimited consumption. I chose my preferred pillow and had a good night's sleep on the double bed. The next morning, I had a healthy breakfast before departure. The buffet had a colorful fresh vegetable salad with a variety of original dressings, as well as meat dishes for those who want a hearty meal. From curry and croissants to yogurt and milk, the breakfast was delicious and satisfying. It was convenient to have staff available, and there was no need to stop by the front desk for checkout after the meal. The hotel's concept is "Natural, Organic, Smart," and it exuded the warmth of wood and cleanliness. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Among the Super Hotel branches I know, this one has the poorest breakfast. There are very few dishes, so each item runs out quickly and you have to wait. It can be quite discouraging. That's why I ended up just having bread and vegetable juice. The selection of bread was also very limited. It's best not to expect a healthy breakfast here.

Every year, for the annual event, I stay overnight once a year. The regular hotel for this occasion is always here. I have stayed here five times in the past five years, and each time I have had the "healthy breakfast". I realized that I had never reviewed it before, so this year I took some photos. Recently, hotel prices around Shinbashi have gone up, and this hotel, which used to cost less than 10,000 yen five years ago, is no longer as affordable. However, it is still cheaper than nearby hotels like TI, AP, and LM, and the free "healthy breakfast" is a great perk. You can even choose your pillow. Now, about the healthy breakfast on this day. There weren't many dishes, but there was stir-fried mixed vegetables, broccoli and chicken stir-fry, simmered dried daikon radish, rolled omelette, grilled mackerel, salad, and pickles. There was also rice, miso soup, and bread. On this day, there was also a clam and green onion sauce to pour over the rice, creating a delicious Fukagawa-don. The Fukagawa-don, with clams and green onion sauce, had a great dashi flavor. The simmered dried daikon radish was lightly seasoned, which was great for those concerned about salt intake. The mixed vegetables were full of healthy vegetables. The grilled mackerel had just the right amount of fat, giving it a nice flavor. The miso soup with plenty of fried tofu, along with a cup of oolong tea from the drink bar, completed the breakfast. It seems like it's more fulfilling than when I first stayed here five years ago. Anyway, I nourished myself with a healthy breakfast and started work at 8 AM. I managed to get through this year's event.

On a weekday in October 2018, I had a business trip to Tokyo and stayed at a hotel that my workplace arranged for me. It was a Super Hotel, which I had never stayed at before. The company behind it used to be a textile trading company in Osaka, and they entered the hotel business in 1989. Now, they have grown to have over 130 hotels worldwide with an annual revenue of over 30 billion yen. The room rate for my stay was 10,000 yen per night, including taxes. The hotel focuses on cost efficiency by limiting front desk hours and providing basic amenities on the first floor. The room was small, and the price didn't seem exceptionally low, but one highlight was the complimentary breakfast. The breakfast included organic JAS-certified vegetables, rice from Komatsu, Ishikawa Prefecture, and a decent variety of side dishes. It was a well-researched and modern hotel, suitable for business travelers.

It was a shame that there was no hot spring, but the croissants at the buffet were delicious!

Here is the breakfast at the hotel where I stayed for work. They promote a healthy breakfast. There were many types of salad dressings available. It seems like salad is their specialty. Other options included grilled fish, chicken, scrambled eggs, rice, and miso soup, which is quite standard. Personally, I was happy to see raw eggs available. I enjoyed having raw egg over rice. The drink selection was also extensive. The coffee machine was able to make both hot and iced coffee, which was convenient.

The hotel is about a 5-6 minute walk from JR Shimbashi Station, passing through a dining area and enjoying the view of Hibiya Shrine on the way to the hotel. Super Hotel operates in a style that is eco-friendly, simple, with a focus on healthy breakfast options and streamlined morning operations. The rooms are compact and functional, with a unique focus on pillows and beds. I had breakfast there, which included a balanced selection of vegetables, salad, simmered dishes, meat dishes, and fish dishes, all with good flavors. The dining area is stylish and buffet-style, creating a comfortable atmosphere. I enjoyed the food.
