Mitsui Garden Hotel Shiodome Italia-gai: Public Bath, Breakfast and Access
I’m willing to walk a bit further to stroll along the Italian streets and visit the public baths; if I’m staying for an extended period, I’ll first check the station access routes and room types.

What would I choose?
If you enjoy strolling around the neighborhood before heading back to your hotel and want to end your day with a soak in a large public bath, I would include the Mitsui Garden Hotel Shiodome Italian Street in the comparison. It’s not right next to the station exit, and you have to walk a bit from several nearby stations; I chose this place because I’m willing to incorporate walking into my travel rhythm.
Rather than lugging a heavy suitcase around changing accommodations every day, I would recommend staying for several nights, exploring during the day and relaxing in the evening with a bath. If you need to catch an early train or are concerned about minimizing walking in the rain, prioritize transportation options over room photos.
First look at the advantages and the aspects that need to be accepted.
What attracts me
Located in the Italian Street area of Shiodome, it’s a great place to schedule a stroll through the neighborhood.
- The presence of a large public bath makes it easier for those willing to dedicate time to its use to appreciate the benefits of accommodation.
- Hamamatsucho, Shinbashi, Shiodome, Onarimon, and Daimon are all comparable, allowing you to choose a route based on your day’s itinerary.
- Breakfast options include American, Italian, and Japanese styles, so you can choose to have a full meal if you prefer.
- Think before booking
It takes about 7 to 10 minutes to reach each station. Please allow more time if it is raining, or if you have large luggage or a trolley.
- Exits are different from elevator exits; the shortest number of minutes cannot be used as a stepless route.
- Some guests mentioned that the rooms were damp or had some maintenance issues, and that they should check their rooms to see if they met their expectations before checking in.
- One side might hear the sound of railway tracks, and the light sleeper will first request a quiet room.
- Location and Transportation: Check the exit first if you have luggage.
Official transportation information indicates the following travel times: Hamamatsucho North Exit (approximately 8 minutes), Shinbashi Karasaki Exit (approximately 10 minutes), Shiodome Exit 8 (approximately 7 minutes), Onarimon Exit A4 (approximately 7 minutes), and Daimon Exit B1 (approximately 8 minutes). Different trains serve different stations, so I’ll first check my destination for the day before deciding where to enter and exit.
When pulling your luggage, check the elevator routes separately. For example, the official 3D map of Daimon Station shows elevators A1, B4, and B5 above ground, which are different from the usual B1 exit; depending on whether you are taking the Asakusa Line or the Oedo Line, you should also check the station’s internal connections. You can save the Daimon Station information beforehand and follow the elevator signs after arriving at the station.
After exiting the elevator, it’s still a walk to the hotel, and this is especially noticeable on rainy days. When I need a wheelchair or stroller, I always ask the hotel for directions beforehand and allow extra time to cross the street and prepare my rain gear.

This area is perfect for taking a short stroll along Shiodome Italian Street before heading back to your room. If you’d like to eat, head towards Shinbashi or Hamamatsucho depending on your itinerary. On the way back, stock up on drinks and other necessities for the next day, without having to make a special detour to another shopping district every time.
Those who enjoy strolling through the streets can schedule their morning walks before or after breakfast; however, if you’re looking to get off the bus and go straight to your room each day, you’ll need to carefully consider the walking distances. Street view photos can help you visualize the surrounding atmosphere, but the actual route will depend on the station you arrive at.

I would first narrow down my choices by the number of beds: one double bed, two beds, or three beds, as these suit different numbers of people and different usage habits. If two people are not used to sharing a bed, they should look at twin beds first; if three people are traveling together, they should look directly at the versions that explicitly list three beds. Don’t just guess how the beds will be arranged based on the number of occupants.
For those who want to unpack and organize their luggage every day, look at photos of the bedside and the entrance hallway. Some guests feel the space is ample, while others find it cramped; the layouts of different room types cannot be directly interchanged, so it’s more helpful to choose the actual room name before comparing.
Please view the room type photos and actual guest photos separately below. If a photo is shared by multiple room types, the description will retain this information; I will use it as a reference for the configuration, but the bed, bathroom, and usable space will still be compared with the version I booked.

The large public bath on the 13th floor is the reason I decided to stay longer at this hotel. Officially, it’s free for hotel guests and open from 3 PM to 9 AM the next day. After a long day of sightseeing, a relaxing soak after dinner before settling back into your room is perfect for those who don’t want to rush through the day. Towels and toiletries are provided in the room; please read the usage rules carefully if you’re traveling with children.
The official check-in time is 3:00 PM and the check-out time is 11:00 AM. There are coin-operated laundry facilities in the hotel. If you are staying for an extended period and need to do laundry, I will arrange to return to my room earlier in the evening to allow time for waiting and drying.
Bed sheets are changed every 3 days in principle, and daily bed cleaning, towel changing, room cleaning, and garbage collection are still carried out daily; if you would like daily bed sheet changing, you can leave an application card. Clearly stating your cleaning preferences will make you more comfortable when staying for an extended period.

La Marea’s breakfast buffet features American, Italian, and Japanese dishes, officially scheduled from 6:30 to 10:30, with last entry at 10:00. The price is 2,200 yen for adults, 1,500 yen for elementary school students, and 600 yen for toddlers. If you prefer to eat at the hotel, the price difference will be calculated based on the ages of accompanying persons and the breakfast-included option.
Croissants, pizzas, and Japanese dishes are more appealing to those who want to eat at a leisurely pace. Guests have different opinions about breakfast; some like pizza and bread, while others feel the selection isn’t as extensive as expected. I would consider my own breakfast habits first, rather than just deciding based on the word "buffet."
If you need to catch an early train, consider whether the walking time and breakfast time can be coordinated; if your schedule is flexible, having a full breakfast at the hotel in the morning is also suitable. The time and cost are based on the hotel’s breakfast information, and the menu and availability may be adjusted.

Passengers’ breakfast tray includes pasta, hot food, salad, and beverages.
If I’m only staying one night, I’ll first consider the distance to the station for both arrival and departure; if I’m staying several nights, it’s easier to incorporate neighborhood walks, public baths, and laundry into my schedule. People who change accommodations every day will feel the cost of walking twice while dragging their suitcases.
Some guests mentioned issues such as mold spots and damp carpets, while others found the rooms clean and comfortable. Upon entering the room, check the area around the window, the carpet, and the bathroom. If you notice anything amiss, ask the front desk for assistance as soon as possible to ensure a more comfortable stay for the next few nights.
Light sleepers shouldn’t overlook the difference in orientation just because a room has good reviews for being quiet; some rooms may have a noticeable railway noise. Specifying your quiet requirement when booking will make arrangements much easier than trying to figure it out on the spot.
Finally, to whom would I recommend it?
I would recommend this hotel to people who enjoy walking, like to leave some free time in their itinerary, and will use the large public baths. Combining a stroll along the Italian streets, a relaxing bath in your room, and a leisurely breakfast will make the most of this place.
If I have a lot of luggage, need to catch trains every day, or require a very short travel distance in the rain, I would first compare accommodations near the station. Before choosing a place, I would first accept the walking distance, and then choose the number of beds, room type, and breakfast options, which would make it easier to find a suitable place.
