Castell de Yamanaka

I feel incredibly fortunate to have discovered the Mustard Hotel. I stayed there for three nights, then returned for another four nights later in my trip—and I honestly wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else in Tokyo. Yes, the rooms are a little compact, but they’re spotless, the location is perfect, and the service is outstanding. A special shoutout to Lauren, who recommended Bar RPM, where I experienced some of the best live music and jam sessions of my trip. The complimentary continental breakfast is a fantastic bonus, and the coffee is as good as you’ll get anywhere. If you’re planning a visit to Tokyo, do yourself a favour and stay at the Mustard Hotel while exploring the incredible neighbourhood of Shimokitazawa. And whatever you do, don’t miss a night at Bar RPM—you won’t regret it! 🇯🇵🎸☕🎶
