I stayed at the "Yamanoue Hotel" in Ochanomizu for a workation. I worked late into the night, so I went to bed right after taking a bath. The next morning, a young female staff member brought breakfast to my room at 8:00 am. I had pre-ordered a Western breakfast, which had a variety of options including juice, coffee, tea, bread, and egg dishes. I chose orange juice, hot coffee, and three types of bread including croissants, as well as a plain omelette with bacon. I always choose the American breakfast, but I learned that the Continental breakfast replaces the egg dish with fruit. I enjoyed my breakfast leisurely. I wish I could just relax and not work at all~♪ And who asked about someone who is working but still wants to relax? Just leave me alone~ (-_-ﾒ)

If you want to enjoy delicious and calming tempura, this place might be the one. I was happy to taste seasonal white asparagus. The black maiitake sprouts were also delicious. It's interesting to compare and eat green asparagus with white asparagus, shiitake mushrooms with button mushrooms. Sea urchin is better eaten fresh than as tempura, but it's a bit pricey for a sea urchin bowl. Finally, compare and enjoy the tempura bowl with tempura belly. I left feeling satisfied and full. The service was good too, providing a sense of security.

Don't you think I'm just spacing out even while working? Leave me alone!

I stayed at the "Yamanoue Hotel" in Ochanomizu for a workation. After working remotely last night, I got sleepy and went to bed early. The next morning, breakfast was delivered to my room at 7:45 am. I had pre-ordered a Western breakfast, which included juice, coffee or tea, bread, and egg dishes, among other options. I chose orange juice, hot coffee, and croissants, along with a plain omelette and bacon. I always go for the American breakfast, but the Continental breakfast swaps out the egg dish for fruit.

I stayed at the "Yamanoue Hotel" in Ochanomizu for a workation. Last night's telework was relatively short, so I went to bed early. The next morning, breakfast was delivered to my room at 7:20 am. It seems like many people have reserved breakfast between 7:30 and 8:00. I had pre-ordered a Western breakfast, which included orange juice, hot coffee, three types of bread including croissants, and plain omelette with bacon. I enjoyed my breakfast slowly, but I noticed there was no tomato ketchup available. I wished I could just relax and not do any work, but it's the busy season at the end of the fiscal year. Before I knew it, it was almost time to check out. I didn't get to explore the classic hotel as I had hoped. Don't you dare say work went well! Just leave me alone.

Art Deco-themed sophisticated space where you can enjoy a drink for 1000 yen♪ What I drank( ..)φ Red Tea 1100 ※ They will add lemon or milk if you ask. ※ Since it's served in a pot, there's probably enough for about 2 cups. It's a strong Darjeeling, I think? The pot is served with the tea already steeped, no tea leaves inside. ▶ Atmosphere It feels like a hotel lobby, very relaxing with an elegant ambiance. It makes you feel a bit fancy or bourgeois. The antiques are stylish, and you can be satisfied just by the ambiance♪ Even with children, it's a calm space, so they behaved well. ※ I was too busy enjoying the delicious cake to laugh. ▶ Notes It's surprisingly busy, so if the coffee parlor downstairs is crowded, this place might be a good alternative♪ ※ However, they don't serve parfaits, only coffee and cakes that are always available. If you want to eat cake, there's no time limit here, and you can quickly sit at an empty table. The staff will ask, "Are you here for coffee?" and bring you the menu to order from♪ Thank you for the meal! ----- I introduce various places I visited, mainly in Shinagawa Ward♪ follow me I also have Instagram, so feel free to check it out✍️ @hoshisaaaya_main

I stayed at the "Yamanoue Hotel" in Ochanomizu for a workcation. My wife informed me that the surgeon who operated on me a year ago was featured on TV, so I had to cancel my evening telework. Thankfully, I was able to rest relatively well, but I had to give up on having dinner at the hotel. The next morning, breakfast was delivered to my room at 7:30 am. I had pre-ordered a Western breakfast with options like juice, coffee, tea, bread, and egg dishes. I chose orange juice, hot coffee, croissant, and plain omelette with bacon. I leisurely enjoyed my breakfast as the morning sun began to shine into the room. I thought about skipping telework and just relaxing, but my work efficiency had improved thanks to the restful night, and before I knew it, it was time to check out. I didn't get to explore the classical hotel as I had hoped. Oh well, at least work went smoothly. Leave me alone!

We stayed here and had breakfast. It was room service. My friend and I ordered both Japanese and Western breakfast. We were looking forward to the morning. When we opened the door after a knock, they brought it in. The table was a bit small with Japanese and Western dishes. I had the Japanese breakfast, while my friend had the Western one. The Japanese breakfast included rice porridge with pickled plum, salted kelp, spicy cod roe, and a delicious rolled omelette. It was similar to Kansai-style rolled omelette. There was also fresh tuna sashimi for breakfast, and everything was delicious. My friend finished the Western breakfast without even realizing it. Room service is nice. When staying at a hotel, you want to relax, right?

I stayed at the "Yamanoue Hotel" in Ochanomizu for a workation. Breakfast was delivered to my room at 7:30 am as I had reserved. There were many options for the Western breakfast I had pre-ordered during check-in last night, including juice, coffee, tea, bread, and egg dishes. I chose orange juice, hot coffee, croissant, and plain omelette with bacon, which was the same as last time haha. The fresh orange juice was delicious. As I leisurely enjoyed breakfast, the morning sun started to shine into the room. I felt like just lazing around instead of working from home. But then my boss gave me feedback and scheduled a meeting in the morning, so I ended up working non-stop after breakfast. Before I knew it, it was time to head to my afternoon meeting. Don't even mention that work was going well. Just leave me alone.

I chose orange juice, hot coffee, croissant, plain omelette with bacon, and enjoyed my breakfast leisurely as the morning sun filled the room. I felt like just lazing around instead of working, but soon work piled up and before I knew it, it was time to check out. I didn't get to explore the classic hotel as planned. And don't tell me that work was productive, just leave me alone! (-_-ﾒ)

Breakfast was 4500 yen. Currently, only room service is available. There was tuna sashimi, two simmered dishes, and side dishes for white rice. The red miso soup had tofu and Nameko mushrooms. The lightly flavored sweet potato jelly was also served. I wanted some fruits for breakfast. I was also concerned yesterday that the white rice was not up to par. The rice grains were crushed and stuck together like dumplings.

The café on the basement floor was full, but today the lobby was available for coffee. I ordered a shoe caramel for 440 yen, a Mont Blanc for 627 yen, and a blend coffee for 990 yen. I was able to relax and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. Thank you for the meal.

【Daily revisit】Yesterday I had Japanese food, so this morning I chose Western food. It was brought to me through room service, and the omelet caught my eye. I started with tomato juice to wake myself up, then had the salad. The dressing and the appearance of the salad were impressive, as expected from a hotel. I had the omelet and sausages as the main dish, along with toast and croissant, which felt like a very Japanese way of eating... (laughs) After the meal, coffee was served. Hmm, it's not bad, and I feel somewhat luxurious. However, I still feel that the Japanese food from yesterday was better. It's not like they need to be compared, but...

In these times, breakfast at the hotel is served as individual room service. I ordered a Japanese breakfast this time. It wasn't a bento box, but it was compactly arranged on a tray, with drinks and rice served all at once. Priced at 3300 yen, it was a breakfast that was more than worth it. I was overwhelmed by the tuna sashimi. The grilled salmon with grated daikon and tamagoyaki also stood out. The simmered dish was also well-prepared in a hotel-quality manner. The side dishes were enjoyable, including chirimen jakko, umeboshi, ohitashi, and nori. The pickles were especially delicious. I enjoyed a luxurious breakfast from the morning.

We celebrated a birthday and stayed overnight at the hotel. For breakfast, we opted for room service due to the current situation. At check-in, we were offered cold tea while deciding on egg dishes (poached eggs, candied eggs, omelets), types of bread (toast, viennoiserie), juices (grapefruit juice, tomato juice), and beverages (tea, coffee). We chose an American breakfast over traditional Japanese breakfast. The hotel, with only 35 rooms, provided a cozy atmosphere, and we were able to check in comfortably on the club floor. The next morning, we eagerly awaited breakfast and woke up early to explore the Hilltop area, but got lost. The staff kindly guided us to the Coffee Parlor Hilltop, fulfilling our wish to see the works of Masuo Ikeda. We were even allowed to visit the closed Non Non on the first floor. The hotel, originally a girls' school, maintained its original design during renovations. We learned interesting facts from a knowledgeable staff member, enhancing our experience. Overall, we enjoyed a luxurious and elegant breakfast in our room, especially the delicious grapefruit juice.

I had breakfast at a mountain top that was highly recommended for its delicious food. The rice was firm and tasty. However, I wished there was a bit more rice compared to the amount of side dishes. The plum and shredded dried fish with Japanese pepper was plentiful and delightful. The thick salmon was not too raw, and the tuna sashimi had a rich flavor without being too fatty - it was delicious. The gentle dashi-flavored egg was also excellent. The red miso soup was tasty as well. I'm starting to crave it again just thinking about it. I might treat myself to another visit since I can't come often.

Since it's New Year's, I decided to treat myself to some delicious food, so I went to Tempura Yamano. The skilled temperature management really brought out the deliciousness of the seasonal ingredients. The round eggplant was so tender and amazing. And of course, the tempura batter was delicious! It's amazing how it doesn't get soggy. All in all, I feel like Tempura Yamano has the best tempura around.

During the war, it was requisitioned by the Imperial Navy, after the war it served as the barracks for the GHQ Army Women's Corps, and then it was opened by the founder who received it from the foundation after the GHQ takeover was lifted, making it a rare and prestigious hotel on the hill in Tokyo. There are only 35 rooms, each with a unique layout featuring Art Deco-style furniture, plaster walls, velvet curtains, and no two rooms are the same. When I was living in Tokyo, I always admired this hotel but never had the chance to stay there. However, during a visit back home in October amidst the pandemic, I decided to avoid crowded hotels and opted for this one thanks to the Goto travel campaign. Dinner was included in the plan, featuring a Michelin-starred tempura and Japanese cuisine. For breakfast, we were given the option of Japanese or Western, and I chose Japanese while my partner chose Western. My Japanese breakfast included grilled fish, rolled omelette, sashimi, simmered dish, mountain pepper simmered in silk, side dishes, roasted seaweed, pickled plum, mentaiko, chestnut yokan, pickles, miso soup, and rice. The traditional Japanese breakfast was satisfying with a variety of items including fresh sashimi, and the rice in the wooden rice container was delicious. I ended the meal with chestnut yokan after enjoying pickled plum with shredded dried plum and red miso soup. My partner's Western breakfast included toast, salad, scrambled eggs with ham, side dishes, orange juice, and tea. The ham was thick and satisfying, and the fluffy scrambled eggs were filling enough on their own, along with the onion and carrot salad dressing and buttered toast. However, my partner later expressed a slight regret and mentioned that the Japanese breakfast might have been better. The room amenities were plentiful and made our stay comfortable. The hotel seemed to have been recently renovated, but I wish I could have seen it in its old state! Despite being a historic hotel, those who appreciate its charm will surely enjoy their stay. I look forward to visiting again. COVID-19 precautions such as temperature checks, disinfectant stations on each floor, and all staff wearing masks were in place. For more details, please visit their website: https://www.yamanoue-hotel.co.jp/information/87P.S. Recently, this hotel was also featured in a drama called "Having Lunch at Famous Buildings."

Stayed at a hotel on top of a mountain for one night. I plan to write a review on sites like Ikkyu or TripAdvisor about the room. I already reviewed the breakfast on the "Tempura and Japanese Cuisine on the Mountain" page. Since there is no listing for the lobby lounge, I am writing here. After checking out, I walked to Chidorigafuchi and then returned to pick up my luggage. I planned to have tea at a lovely cafe in Jinbocho, but I didn't have the energy to go that far. So, I decided to have tea time in the lounge. I ordered a cappuccino. I sank comfortably into a retro single-seat sofa and was in a good mood. The mat with lace trim was also retro. The cappuccino was brewed with a rich depth of coffee. It had less milk, which was a relief as it reduced the guilt. Despite the hotel charging a service fee, it was still in the 800 yen range. It was a delightful two days fully enjoying the long-awaited mountain top hotel.

Today, my wife and I came to a mountain hotel because we wanted to eat tempura. However, all the dining options in the hotel were almost fully booked. At that time, an employee told us about the history of the hotel and the renovations that had been done. Although he seemed to be the manager of the teppanyaki restaurant, he went to check the availability at the French restaurant and managed to secure the last table for us. We were able to sit down eventually, and since it was our wedding anniversary, we ordered the special C course and champagne. Everything was delicious. The seasonal compote and fromage blanc were just okay, and the coffee was so-so. We were glad that the French restaurant had availability since the tempura was full. We are planning to try the teppanyaki restaurant next time. Looking forward to seeing the renovations!
