Keikyu EX Inn Hamamatsucho Daimon: Tower Views, Rooms and Airport Access
For practical accommodations near the main gate station, room size, tower view, and elevator access should be selected separately.
If I want to plan my trip to and from Haneda Airport and the city center in one go, I’ll add this place to my list. It’s conveniently located near both the main gate and Hamamatsucho transportation hubs; however, the nearest exit, A5, is accessible by stairs. The small room size and the orientation towards Tokyo Tower are also factors to consider before booking.

What would I choose?
For solo travelers with minimal luggage: consider checking out the 13㎡ small double room first, making the most of its convenient location for your trip.
- For two people or living together: compare the 15㎡ Standard Double and the 20㎡ EX Double, and if you want to sleep in separate beds, then consider the 24㎡ EX Twin.
- If you want to see Tokyo Tower: Choose the view and orientation carefully, and allow some time to stay in your room in the evening.
- I decide on transportation, room size, and view separately. First, I determine if the station is convenient for my itinerary, then I choose a space where two people can comfortably unpack their luggage, and finally, I decide whether to include the tower view and breakfast in the itinerary. This approach makes it easier to choose a suitable night than simply looking at whether the station is nearby or has a nice photo.
Exit A5 is very close; please don’t mistake the stairs for an elevator when you’re carrying luggage.
The hotel is located at 1-15-4 Shibadaimon, Minato-ku, Tokyo. According to the official website, it’s about a 1-minute walk from Exit A5 of Daimon Station and about a 5-minute walk towards the North Exit of JR and Monorail Hamamatsucho Station. If I’m planning to go to Haneda or transfer in Tokyo city, I’ll compare these two entry/exit points to find accommodation that fits my itinerary.
The red arrow at the building’s ground floor entrance signage photo points to the storefront.
The Toei Station map lists the ground elevators as A1, B4, and B5; B3 is marked as locked. The Asakusa Line and Oedo Line have different platforms, gates, and depths. I will refer to the official map of Daimon Station based on the line I took that day, and then walk towards the hotel, without directly applying the 1-minute time difference on A5 to the elevator route.
When going to Haneda Airport, you can compare the routes of the Daimon Station train and the Hamamatsucho Monorail to see which is more convenient. For early morning flights, check the terminal, the earliest available flight, and baggage handling routes together, instead of just planning your departure time based on the usual train journey.
Dinner will be eaten near the main entrance, and time will be reserved for a walk around Tokyo Tower.
Guests often mention that the Daimon and Hamamatsucho areas are convenient for dining and shopping. My plan is to have dinner in this area and buy everything I need for the next day before returning to my room; I’m already tired from taking care of the kids or coming back, so I don’t need to cross over to find a restaurant for every meal.

From 13㎡ to 24㎡, first consider how to use the bed, table, and bathroom fixtures.
When two people are living together, I would first compare the area, and then look at the bed and bathroom. Both the Standard Semi-double and Corner Semi-double are 13 square meters with a 140 cm bed, the difference being the desk or coffee table configuration; "corner" does not necessarily mean the room is larger.
Official room type
Area/Beds
What would I choose?
Official room type: Standard Semi-double
Area/Bed area 13㎡; 1 bed (140cm); Desk
When deciding whether to travel solo or share a bed with someone, I’ll look at the desktop first.
Official room type Corner Semi-double
Area/Bed area 13㎡; 1 bed (140cm); Tea table
I would choose between people who prefer smaller tables and seating arrangements.
Official room type: Standard Double
Area/beds: 15㎡; 1 bed (150cm)
I would choose two people, hoping to leave more room for maneuver.
Official Room Type EX Double
Area/beds: 20㎡; 1 bed (160cm); separate bathroom and toilet.
I would first look at how I choose between consecutive stays and those who value separate bathrooms.
Official room type EX Twin
Area/Beds: 24㎡; 2 beds (110cm each); a third bed can be arranged according to the plan.
How I choose to travel with friends and family? First, I’ll find out which bed each person will have.
Official room type: Universal Double
Area/beds: 20㎡; 1 bed (160cm)
When there are accessibility requirements, I would check the necessary equipment and workflow item by item.
The room specifications are based on the hotel’s official room type description. If I were to upgrade from a smaller room, I would first consider whether the extra space would make unpacking, eating, or taking turns showering easier each day.
Small double room: First look at the table and the aisle.
A standard small double room features a large bed, a desk, a window, and green bedding.

To see Tokyo Tower, first choose the right view and orientation.
The room layouts and guest photos of the Tokyo Tower views were very appealing. If my trip was solely for seeing the tower before bed, I would directly inquire about room types or packages with views of Tokyo Tower before deciding whether to upgrade; simply requesting a higher floor doesn’t necessarily mean I’d want the perfect angle.

Below, we’ve separated the standard double room from the corner mini double room. The photo gallery shows the amenities, while guest photos make it easier to imagine the scale of the luggage, chairs, and desks; when two people are sharing a room, these details are more direct than the room name.
The standard double room guest photos show the king-size bed, the headboard wall, and the orange bedding.
Breakfast is served at the "Dashi Inoe" restaurant on the first floor, described on the official website as a Japanese-Western style buffet and drinks bar. Those who enjoy Japanese side dishes and want to start their day with hot dashi ochazuke (rice with tea) can save this meal for later; those who prefer bread and hot food also have corresponding options to choose from.

The time and estimated cost are based on the hotel’s official breakfast information, checked on 2026-10-24. The photos are for illustrative purposes only and the menu may be adjusted on the day.
If I can sit down and have a full meal, I’ll compare the total price difference between the breakfast-included and breakfast-free options; if I need to go to the airport early in the morning, or want to find a coffee shop outside, I don’t need to force myself to include breakfast. Breakfast cannot be taken away, so people in a hurry should especially think about how they’ll spend their morning.
Self-check-in is very useful; just put your luggage away securely upon arrival.

Check-in time is generally 3:00 PM; the official FAQ lists check-out time as generally 10:00 AM, and 11:00 AM for two people. After booking, please carefully check the applicable times for your booking plan. For three people or other usage conditions, please make arrangements according to the actual booking.
If you’re only staying one night, consider the transportation options; if you’re staying for an extended period, choose a room with a suitable size.
For a one-night stay, the advantages of convenient transportation and luggage handling are most direct, especially if you’re heading to Haneda the next day or if your itinerary is in the city center that day. When staying for two nights, I’m more concerned about whether there are enough rooms, whether each person can unpack their own things, and whether I want to have breakfast at the hotel every day.
Those who want to leave time to see Tokyo Tower shouldn’t schedule their evenings until very late. Conversely, if you’re only using your room as a place to sleep, prioritize the bed and size; you might not need every upgraded view.
For families traveling with children, first check the child’s bed, co-sleeping arrangements, and breakfast options. Those with large luggage or requiring assistance with disabled guests should also inquire about the station exit, accommodation layout, and room amenities. The advantage of a close-to-station location is more easily appreciated when choosing the right route.
How to choose in the end? Determine the factors of transportation, space, and tower view separately.
Advantages I would value
It’s about a 1-minute walk from Exit A5 of the main gate, and you can also use the transportation to Hamamatsucho.
- The 13㎡, 15㎡, 20㎡ and 24㎡ room types can be compared according to the number of beds and space requirements.
- Some rooms offer views of Tokyo Tower, making them ideal for those who want to spend time enjoying the view from their room.
- Breakfast includes a Japanese-Western style buffet and ochazuke (rice with tea), and you can choose the breakfast-included option according to your morning schedule.
- I’ll think about it again before ordering.
A5 is a staircase; you’ll need to find the elevator exit and directions separately.
- A 13㎡ small room might be cramped for two people with large suitcases; a corner name doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bigger.
- If you want to see the tower, ask about the view and orientation; don’t just ask for a high floor.
- If you don’t have time to sit down and eat on an early morning flight, you might not need to use the breakfast add-on.
- If I wanted to combine airport arrivals and departures, a trip to the city center, and a view of Tokyo Tower in the same trip, I would include it in the comparison. Choosing a comfortable bed and size first, and then deciding on the tower view and breakfast, makes it easier to spend your budget on things you’ll actually use.
