Where to stay in Akasaka, Tokyo: an apartment with a kitchenette near Akasaka-mitsuke and Tameike-Sanno
Stay in central Tokyo, 1 minute from Exit 10 of Tameike-Sanno Station. Ginza and Namboku Lines nearby, with Akasaka and Akasaka-mitsuke also walkable. A 30 m² apartment with an in-room washer-dryer, kitchenette and Nespresso machine.
Several subway lines near Tameike-Sanno Station, 1 minute on foot
Exit 10 of Tameike-Sanno Station is about 1 minute on foot and serves the Ginza and Namboku Lines. Akasaka Station on the Chiyoda Line is about 5 minutes away; Akasaka-mitsuke, on the Ginza and Marunouchi Lines, is about 7 minutes. Choose the station for your destination: Shibuya and Ginza are on the Ginza Line. On the Namboku Line, the nearby stop is Roppongi-itchome, which is a different station from Roppongi.
Getting there from Haneda and Narita
From Haneda Airport it is about 40–60 minutes by train to Tameike-Sanno with one or two transfers, or about 30 minutes by taxi. From Narita Airport the train takes about 90–120 minutes with one or two transfers. The exact route depends on the time of day, so check Google Maps transit directions when you land. The house guide you receive after booking has photo directions from Exit 10 to the building.
The apartment: 30 m² open-plan studio, kitchenette, washer-dryer, bathtub
SLL Urban Suites Akasaka is a single 30 m² twin room on the fourth floor of Camomile Akasaka (2-7-3 Akasaka, Minato-ku), with an elevator and smart-lock self check-in. Two semi-double beds and one sofa bed sleep up to 3 guests. There is a kitchenette, a washer-dryer, a bathtub, a bidet toilet and a Nespresso machine — enough to live normally for a week rather than camp in a hotel room.
Business trip or family trip — who is Akasaka for?
For business travelers, the appeal is the commute: Tokyo Station, Ginza, Roppongi and Shibuya are all a short ride, and the washer-dryer plus coffee machine make a multi-night stay simple. For a couple or a family of three, the same location works for sightseeing — Ginza and Asakusa without transfers, Tokyo Tower via Roppongi — with a bathtub and a kitchenette to come back to. Groups of four or more should look at SLL Urban Suites Ebisu or Shibuya instead.
Convenience stores, a supermarket and where to eat
A 7-Eleven is within about 3 minutes on foot; a Lawson, a Maibasket supermarket and a Matsumoto Kiyoshi drugstore are within about 5. One thing to know: Akasaka is a business district, so many popular restaurants close on Sundays and holidays. Close to the building you will find a well-known tonkatsu restaurant about 2 minutes away (closed Sundays and holidays), a 24-hour Korean seolleongtang restaurant about 5 minutes away, and a bagel café open from 8:00 including weekends. The house guide lists them with maps.
Check-in, check-out and booking direct
