MIMARU Tokyo Ginza East
Stay together as a family with a dining table and kitchen
MIMARU Tokyo Ginza East is a good choice for families or groups of friends who want one apartment where they can eat, chat and spend time together after going out. Compared with a typical business hotel, the dining table, kitchen and group bedding are the real attractions. The Pokémon-themed apartment is eye-catching, but choosing a theme and getting more space are two separate decisions.
Is this hotel right for your trip?
Reasons to choose it
- Shared apartments, a dining table and kitchen make group stays feel homely
- Choose standard apartments or themed rooms according to your preferences
- Longer family stays without repeatedly switching hotels
Trade-offs to consider
- Confirm bunk-bed comfort and usage rules
- No hotel breakfast; arrange your own mornings
- Allow for children’s walking stamina when choosing a station
Location and access: exits, lifts and luggage
Walking from regular exits
The official hotel guide lists Shintomicho Station Exit 2 with a lift, about three minutes away, and Hatchobori Exit A3, around six minutes away. With children and large suitcases, I would consider Shintomicho first, then compare whether any extra train transfer is worth the shorter walk.
Luggage and elevator routes
Shintomicho’s station accessibility guide indicates a lift-only route from the Chuo Ward Office-side gates to street level. The hotel calls this its Exit 2 lift route. Follow on-site lift signs, allowing time to get from the platform to the street and cross junctions rather than rushing to match the shortest time shown by a map.

Choosing a room: beds, bathrooms and luggage
| Room type | Floor area and bedding | Best choice for |
|---|---|---|
| Family Apartment | 39 m²; two single beds and one set of bunk beds | Four family members sharing the sleeping arrangements |
| Pokémon Room | 39 m²; two single beds and one set of bunk beds | For those who want Pokémon-themed decorations |
| Apartment (4 Single-Beds) | 42 m²; four single beds | Travellers who prefer not to use bunk beds |
| Superior Family Apartment for 6 | 55 m²; four single beds and one set of bunk beds | Six guests, with two washbasins |
The major difference between the Pokémon Room and the regular 39 m² family apartment is the theme, not an automatic increase in size. If someone cannot comfortably climb into an upper bunk, I would compare the 42 m² apartment with four single beds. These listed categories do not have in-room washer-dryers; laundry uses the building’s coin-operated machines, even though the apartments have kitchens.
Gallery photos show standard apartments, bunk beds and the Pokémon Room, while guest photos show different layouts. Wall murals, oversized plush figures and themed accessories apply only to the relevant category, not regular rooms. Count the actual beds, check everyone’s comfort with bunks and allow room around the dining table for suitcases. With young children, confirm the rules for upper bunks. Some families love staying together, while others find the bunk mattresses thin.

Breakfast: plan around your family’s mornings
The hotel does not serve breakfast, which can be convenient for families who want to set their own pace. Buy bread and fruit, or use the kitchen in the booked apartment for simple meals; verify which cookware and utensils are actually provided. You could also spend one morning eating in Tsukiji, rather than having to queue with children every single day.
Advantages and trade-offs of the stay
The shared living area is a strength, but that does not mean every destination is a few steps away. With children or older relatives, include the actual station walk in your plans, and consider a taxi when useful. Drivers should ask about parking rather than assume the property has a private car park.
Short and longer stays, nearby outings
One night may not be enough to make use of the kitchen and dining table; a few nights together lets the family enjoy having one shared base without splitting into separate rooms. Plan Ginza and Tsukiji for nearby outings, then visit other areas by train. Children can return to the apartment for a break midway through the day.
