Best Western Hotels & Resorts has unveiled plans to launch a new hotel in the heart of Tokyo’s Akihabara district, the home of Japan’s famous otaku culture and electronics shops.
Scheduled to open its doors in October 2018, Best Western Hotel Fino Tokyo Akihabara is a midscale hotel that puts guests at the centre of the action.
Located in the Chiyoda ward of downtown Tokyo, Akihabara is the spiritual home of Japanese youth culture, with colourful consumer electronics stores lining the streets, alongside shops and cafés specialising in manga and anime.
The new hotel will feature 80 contemporary rooms equipped with cutting-edge facilities.
Guests can start their day with buffet breakfast featuring a selection of Japanese and international dishes and coffee. Then throughout the day, a hotel vending machine will offer quick snacks and drinks.
“Buzzing with life day and night, Akihabara is one of Asia’s most exciting and iconic urban areas,” said Olivier Berrivin, Best Western Hotels & Resorts’ managing director of international operations - Asia.
The hotel is located less than 400 metres from Suehirocho Station and Naka-Okachimachi Station on the Tokyo Metro, and just 17 kilometres from Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport.
