The night view is wonderful. It's perfect for couples.

The bar "Bar Belsta" is located on the top floor of the Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, a high-rise building in Shinjuku's Kabukicho district. The Pan Pacific Hotel "Belsta Tokyo" opened in May this year, emerging like a comet in Kabukicho, one of Asia's premier entertainment districts. Situated on the top floor of the highly anticipated Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, once you step inside, you are met with an overwhelming sense of tranquility and extraordinary experiences, as if you've found a hidden sanctuary in the sky, far removed from the bustling energy of Kabukicho below.

I enjoyed afternoon tea at the newly opened Hotel Bellstar Tokyo. I made a reservation for a window-side guaranteed course. The tea selection included the luxurious GING TEA from the UK, which is served at Cathay Pacific Airways' first-class lounge, along with a wide variety of other options. Coffee, including cappuccino, was available for free flow. The course also included two types of mocktails to choose from. We started with a warm herbal tea and a warm amuse-bouche. After the savory dishes, we were served scones and sweets. Overall, there were many sponge cakes, which I'm not fond of, so I couldn't finish everything, but I had a great time. The view of the Shinjuku nightscape was the icing on the cake.

Adjacent to the Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower, BAR located on the 45th floor of Hotel Bellstar Tokyo offers a stunning view of the Shinjuku nightscape, making you feel like you’re the only one enjoying it. The ambiance inside was romantic, illuminated by blue lights. After having dinner in Shinjuku, we decided to visit the hotel bar as our second stop and called ahead on the same day. It was a weekday, around 9 PM, and we got lucky as we were able to walk in without waiting, and the atmosphere was calm. We savored a fruit cocktail made with large grapes and enjoyed a luxurious time. It was truly wonderful! I highly recommend you check it out.

Located on the 45th floor of the Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, this bar boasts an impressive sense of openness and stunning views. It faces southeast, with Akasaka nearby and a clear view of the Daimaru Area further in the distance. The spacious interior features a ceiling height that spans two floors, creating a liberating atmosphere. Around 9 PM, the lights dim, and blue lighting sets a surreal ambiance. The cocktails are equally noteworthy, offering a variety of 5 to 6 original drinks infused with Japanese elements that are not only visually appealing but also incredibly delicious. To reach the bar, guests enter through the hotel entrance on the ground level, pass through the hotel’s groove lobby on the 17th floor, and transfer to an elevator designated for high floors that takes you directly to the 45th floor Bell Star Lobby. Hotel staff are present throughout the venue, making it easy for first-time visitors to navigate, and the security measures are reassuring given the location.

After enjoying some chukumi, we decided to pass the time and enjoy the night view at a bar located on top of the Kabukicho Tower. A friend from the women's association had taken me there before, and I remembered it being quite nice. We ordered: Wife: white wine, Husband: blood orange juice → pineapple juice → crème brûlée. The price was mostly for the view, haha! It's a spot where you can see both Tokyo Tower and Skytree at the same time. The nuts served as a snack paired well with the wine. My husband’s crème brûlée was the best I've ever had, and one bite just wasn’t enough! The last time we visited was around Golden Week, and drinks were priced in the 2000 yen range, so prices have likely increased since then. Being a hotel bar, the staff’s service was wonderful! Though the bar is a bit hard to find because it's on top of the Kabukicho Tower hotel, I recommend it for anyone looking for a stylish bar that's relatively easy to access.

During the three-day weekend, I didn't have any specific plans, but we decided to go out and visit the SOMPO Museum in Shinjuku. We also planned to have dinner in Shinjuku afterward. I had been curious about the Tokyu Kabukicho Tower for a while but hadn't had the chance to visit, so I thought this would be a good opportunity. Since it was the middle of a three-day weekend, I was worried about making a reservation, but surprisingly, I managed to get one without any hassle just two days in advance. Kabukicho was incredibly crowded, filled with people as if they were trash, resembling the famous line from a character named Muska. Once our reservation time arrived, we entered the restaurant and found ourselves in a completely different atmosphere, a stark contrast to the street's noise. The quiet entrance welcomed us, and a hotel staff escorted us inside. We took an elevator to the 18th floor, then walked down a long hallway to switch elevators and ascend to the 45th floor. I thought it was quite a long journey, but my companion appreciated the transition from the hustle and bustle of Kabukicho to this extraordinary space. As for the view we were eager to see, it was breathtaking. We could see the Rainbow Bridge and all the major spots on the eastern side of Tokyo. The height was so remarkable, I even felt like I could see the curvature of the Earth! We were seated in a cozy sofa area tucked away in the back, which offered a romantic atmosphere for our time there. We ordered the ¥12,000 free-flow drink and four-course meal with a champagne toast. For men, the meal portions might feel a bit small, but for women, it could be just right. Considering the free-flow drinks and the quality of the experience, I thought the price was reasonable. The clientele, besides us, was mostly composed of Westerners, and the ambiance was quiet, providing a nice contrast to Kabukicho’s chaos. Overall, I was quite satisfied with the experience, but there was one disappointment: although the restaurant had a smart casual dress code, many of the foreign patrons were in T-shirts, shorts, and sneakers, completely disregarding the dress code. While I can understand a few people making a fashion misstep, it seemed like not a single one of the foreigners there was aware of the dress code. If they can’t enforce their own rules, perhaps they should reconsider having them in the first place.

I visited bar Bellustar, located about a 15-minute walk from Shinjuku Station. I ordered the Harvest Afternoon Tea, which came with a welcome drink of jasmine tea that was very delicious. ■ Savory Dishes: - Warm mushroom potage - Scallop tartare - Persimmon wrapped in prosciutto, dressed with balsamic and mascarpone - Snow crab flan with basil aroma - Smoked Yashio salmon and Swiss chard quiche - Domestic beef cutlet sandwich with bamboo charcoal bread ■ Scones: - Plain scone - Sweet potato scone ■ Sweets: - Japanese chestnut Mont Blanc - Shine Muscat grape verrine - Apple and caramel Tatin-style - Cinnamon-flavored carrot cake - Truffle and porcini meringue sandwich - Chestnut pumpkin tart Personally, I found the potage and the cutlet to be particularly delicious. The view of Tokyo Skytree and the Roppongi skyline is amazing, making for a fantastic afternoon tea experience!

In the Kabukicho Tower in Shinjuku, there's a mood-enhancing bar called "bar bellustar." They offer stylish cocktails as well as wine, making it a perfect spot for dates or business meetings. The view of the Tokyo skyline, including the Skytree, is also amazing!

Today, I enjoyed the Sumida River Fireworks Festival at the lovely bar of the Belstar Hotel! Despite the rain on the day, the fireworks were launched successfully, and my spirits soared. Watching the fireworks while sipping champagne without getting wet was an amazing experience! This time, I enjoyed a course with free-flowing Lallier Champagne. There were three different types, all with a fragrant and vibrant taste. I fully enjoyed the exquisite combination with the fireworks, and I’d love to participate in other champagne events as well. Although there are quite a number of seats, it was fully booked, so I recommend making a reservation. The atmosphere is wonderful—perfect for couples, business meetings, or girls' nights out! The menu included: - Appetizer: Sweet shrimp and scallop tartare, peach gazpacho, and ginger sorbet - Fish dish: Grilled knife fish with clam bisque and lime aroma - Meat dish: Grilled domestic beef loin with Raines vinegar sauce and Béarnaise - Dessert: Baba with ratafia and champagne - Champagne: Lallier R.020 « Free Flow », Lallier Blanc de Blancs, and Lallier Ouvrage Both the food and drinks were incredibly satisfying! I definitely want to visit again!

Above the Kabukicho area in Shinjuku, there is a bar with a stunning night view located in the "Tokyu Kabukicho Tower." Positioned at the top of this new spot, stepping into the high floors fills you with a sense of the extraordinary. On this occasion, we opted for a course meal. The meal menu included: - Appetizer: Sweet shrimp and scallop tartare with peach gazpacho and ginger sorbet - Fish dish: Grilled flatfish with clam bisque and lime aroma - Meat dish: Grilled domestic beef loin with raspberry vinegar sauce and béarnaise sauce - Dessert: Baba with ratafia We enjoyed a romantic evening while taking in the breathtaking night view.

The afternoon tea is not only visually cute, but every dish is also very delicious. The steak sandwich and frozen piña colada are especially tasty. I always thought scones were just an unnecessary addition, but the ones from this place are crispy and quite delicious. Through the large glass windows facing Tokyo Tower and Skytree, you can also see the fireworks at Jingu and the Sumida River.

First of all, the hurdle to enter the restaurant is quite high, and the entrance is not easy to find. Upon arriving at the first-floor entrance, I had to tell the hotel staff my destination and take the elevator to the 18th floor. After that, I had to switch elevators to reach the 45th floor! This restaurant faces east, offering views of the Tokyo Skytree, Shinjuku Gyoen, National Stadium, Akasaka Imperial Estate, and the Hills... In the distance, you can see just the top of Tokyo Tower and countless planes taking off and landing at Haneda Airport. At night, the views are even more beautiful with the lights. However, since it faces east, unfortunately, you can't see Mount Fuji. It might be visible from a restaurant on the opposite side. You can see Shinjuku Station as well, which would delight any train enthusiast! While waiting for my companion, I had some spare time and was allowed to take a peek into the restaurant! Wow! There’s Shinjuku Station! The tracks are all visible! (I also have photos!) I entered at 5 PM and had to wait a significant amount of time due to my companion’s schedule, but I enjoyed the changing views of Shinjuku from evening to night! We lingered until after 9 PM, and it felt like we were there for nearly four hours… I think it was the fantastic view and the wonderful service from the staff that made it so enjoyable. I didn't get bored at all! Thank you! Well, I suppose it’s the location fee? It cost us 33,000 yen for two people… This included six drinks and food as well, but I found the following: 1. A selection of seven premium dried fruits - 1,800 yen: The presentation was amazing, but I wished there was a bit more… 2. Prosciutto and avocado salad - 2,600 yen: As expected! They had pre-portioned it for two people! Plus, they neatly divided the lettuce and other greens for easier eating. 3. Spicy fried chicken and French fries basket - 2,800 yen: It wasn’t bad, but just ordinary? There was a lot of fries… 4. Domestic beef sirloin steak sandwich - 7,500 yen: This wasn't just steak in bread; the exquisite sauce kept the tender wagyu perfectly contained, making for a blissful moment! So delicious! However, there seemed to be too many fries… It felt like they were serving extras. 5. Crème brûlée with vanilla ice cream - 2,200 yen: I couldn’t try it as my companion ate it, but perhaps due to eating too many fries, they left some… 6. Homemade ice cream (two scoops) - 1,600 yen: The dish presentation was lovely! The ice cream… well, Haagen-Dazs might taste better? This is just my personal opinion! Nonetheless, it was a moment that made me forget the hustle and bustle of Shinjuku. I highly recommend this place for a special person or anyone looking to refresh their spirits. Additionally, it would be nice if the menu had a bit more variety? Perhaps I could just go to the restaurant next door then? That’s a dilemma… Until now, I had mostly dined at skyscraper restaurants in the west exit of Shinjuku, which was a good ten-minute walk away. However, this place is closer and right in front of Seibu Shinjuku Station, making it more convenient. If I have the chance, I would like to stop by again. Thank you for the long and wonderful time!

At 45 floors up, the view is so different that it takes your breath away. This bar offers a breathtaking view that I highly recommend experiencing at least once. On a clear day, you can see both the Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Tower at the same time, and the scenery stretches out to what feels like half of Tokyo. You can enjoy a peaceful moment that feels far from the hustle of Kabukicho. While it’s not cheap, the menu prices include service charges and tax, which is quite reasonable. The selection of drinks includes sake, wine, and shochu, and although the range isn't extensive, there are some unique options to enjoy. The restroom is luxuriously designed, but I would have appreciated having mouthwash available. I definitely want to come back.

I wandered in, wondering what the night would be like. The night view was, of course, beautiful overall, but unfortunately, I was seated where the light from the bar counter reflected in the window, which made it somewhat disappointing. It’s quite challenging, isn't it? Thank you for the meal.

I had some time before my evening appointment, so I decided to check out this place that had caught my attention. It's a main bar located on the 45th floor of a high-rise hotel that just opened last year. The breathtaking view of Tokyo spreads out before you, and the spacious atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing drink on a weekend afternoon. Additionally, there was a bartender who provided service at just the right distance, which made enjoying both the drinks and the view even more delightful. Thank you for the wonderful experience; I will definitely come back again.

I came to Shinjuku, so we had a second party! We visited the new BAR on the 45th floor of the Bellustar Tokyo Hotel in Kabukicho. The concept is a fusion of luxury city hotel and traditional culture, offering a panoramic view of Tokyo. The atmosphere is completely different from the bustling vibe of Kabukicho, providing a quiet and soothing retreat away from the noise of the city. BELLUSTAR TOKYO allows you to experience a charm that feels like a different world, even though it's in the heart of the city. The view is fantastic! The night scenery was truly beautiful, with sights of Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Tower visible. You can take in all of Tokyo with an amazing ambiance, and the lights even change to blue, adding a fun twist to the experience. The blue light transformed the atmosphere completely, allowing us to enjoy a wonderful time. The cocktails we ordered were the Shinjuku Sanctuary priced at ¥2,688 and the Tokyo Hachi Gin Classic at ¥1,739. The Shinjuku Sanctuary has a strong whiskey base, making it a great choice for those who enjoy stronger drinks. The Gin Classic is perfect for gin lovers; it’s easy to drink and sure to please a wide audience. I love hotel atmospheres, so this kind of ambiance is the most relaxing for me. I definitely plan to return the next time I'm in Shinjuku!

I visited for the first time during lunch on the same day and was impressed by the view, interior design, and the cocktails' flavors that I decided to return in the evening. Initially, I planned to order the signature cocktail, an original Manhattan inspired by the night scene in Shinjuku, but we ended up wanting to try some dessert cocktails instead. We ordered an Alexander and an Alexander Sister (which I learned about at that time). There was also a water sommelier who shared various insights with us. I couldn’t really discern the taste of the water, but I’ll keep working on that! The location is great, so I would love to visit again.

I went to a bar in Kabukicho Tower that I had been curious about. I visited on New Year's Day. First of all, the view is incredible. The night scenery is beautiful, but the clear daytime view is also really nice. I enjoyed delicious cocktails, and the staff were very attentive and helped me choose. I had a great time overall. I even went back that same night!

The average price of a cocktail is about 3000 yen. The view is perfect since all the other buildings are below you! However, it's filled with blue light, and occasionally it gets really bright, which is quite puzzling and really annoying for conversations. So, the atmosphere isn't great because of that.
