I checked into the King Size Double Room, a compact stay that came with the essentials. There are also self-service amenities like toothbrushes in the lobby if you need them. The room didn\u2019t have much of a view (I recommend keeping the blinds drawn as it faces a residential building) and wasn\u2019t generous with the space, but this isn\u2019t uncommon with affordable stays in the area.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest draw is its well-appointed location: it\u2019s situated in Tsukiji, which is within walking distance of Ginza\u2019s main shopping street, but with enough distance to make it a relatively quiet stay. It\u2019s also an eight-minute walk away from Tsukiji train station, making it easy to get to other neighbourhoods like Shinjuku. Within the area, there\u2019s no lack of places to grab a bite, with Tsukiji Fish Market and an array of restaurants nearby.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_336568\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-336568\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-336568 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/Koko-Hotel-Tsukiji-Ginza-breakfast-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Koko Hotel Tsukiji Ginza - breakfast\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/Koko-Hotel-Tsukiji-Ginza-breakfast-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/Koko-Hotel-Tsukiji-Ginza-breakfast-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/Koko-Hotel-Tsukiji-Ginza-breakfast.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-336568\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Breakfast at Koko Hotel Tsukiji Ginza. Photography: Amelia Ang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As for the hotel breakfast, the buffet spread was a pleasant surprise. It wasn\u2019t extensive, but it was a quality spread for the price. Expect the usual continental breakfast dishes, alongside local Japanese eats. The quality was nothing to scoff at, either. The tuna sashimi had no hint of fishiness, and the mini dango balls were perfectly cooked and delightfully chewy.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d gladly have this breakfast again, but with Tsukiji Fish Market just a stone\u2019s throw away \u2013 a bustling hub of fresh seafood, street eats and local restaurants \u2013 I headed out the next morning to explore one of Tokyo\u2019s most popular markets.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"tiktok-viral-eats-at-tsukiji-fish-market-worth-the-hype\"><\/span>TikTok-viral eats at Tsukiji Fish Market: Worth the hype?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_336569\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-336569\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-336569 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/tsukiji-fish-market-review-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"tsukiji fish market review\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/tsukiji-fish-market-review-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/tsukiji-fish-market-review-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/tsukiji-fish-market-review.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-336569\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Left: tuna sashimi; right: wagyu skewer. Photography: Amelia Ang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With Tsukiji Fish Market a three-minute walk away, it was the perfect chance for me to suss out all the TikTok-viral eats at the popular foodie destination. When it comes to the viral tuna sashimi stall, Maguroya Kurogin, I recommend dropping by around 10am for a shorter wait. I only waited 15 minutes for sashimi that truly melted in my mouth.<\/p>\n<p>This might be a fish market, but you\u2019ll also see lines for meat stalls, too. I stopped by Yoshizawa, famed for its wagyu skewers that were smoky, juicy, and paired well with all the condiments. My favourites were the wasabi and ponzu sauce, but the meat was so succulent I\u2019d gladly enjoy it on its own.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d say these spots are worth visiting once for first-timers. But if you\u2019re crowd-averse, fret not: you\u2019ll find similar quality wagyu and fish at top restaurants in the city.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_336570\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-336570\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-336570 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/tsukiji-fish-market-matcha-stand-maruni-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"tsukiji fish market matcha stand maruni\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/tsukiji-fish-market-matcha-stand-maruni-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/tsukiji-fish-market-matcha-stand-maruni-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/tsukiji-fish-market-matcha-stand-maruni.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-336570\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Iced matcha latte from Matcha Stand Maruni.

The vibrant green hue looked promising, though it turned out more bitter and grainier than I\u2019d expected. It wasn\u2019t bad, but it wasn\u2019t my favourite. Thankfully, this was Japan, so there was no lack of matcha spots to hit up \u2013 keep scrolling for the ones I loved in the area (with no queues!).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"my-first-taste-of-unagi-ramen\"><\/span>My first taste of unagi ramen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_336571\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-336571\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-336571 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/tsukiji-unagi-ramen-review-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"tsukiji unagi ramen review - things to do ginza tokyo\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/tsukiji-unagi-ramen-review-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/tsukiji-unagi-ramen-review-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/tsukiji-unagi-ramen-review.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-336571\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An unagi ramen and rice set from Yamada No Unagi.

I liked the customisable system where you choose your preferred doneness for the noodles, and your portion size for the rice.<\/p>\n<p>It looked like a hefty meal, but hey, I had to try it. The ramen broth was made by boiling eel bones, creating a thick and creamy consistency bursting with unagi flavour that coated each strand of noodle. The slices of grilled eel were some of the best unagi I\u2019ve tried \u2013 tender, smoky, and glazed with a sweet-savoury unagi sauce. The ramen was topped with an egg yolk, which added a luscious richness to the smoky unagi and savoury broth.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_336572\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-336572\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-336572 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/tsukiji-unagi-ramen-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"tsukiji unagi ramen\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/tsukiji-unagi-ramen-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/tsukiji-unagi-ramen-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/tsukiji-unagi-ramen.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-336572\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Amelia Ang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While the unagi slices and the eel broth shared the spotlight for the ramen, I reckon the grilled unagi stood out more when enjoyed with plain rice and sauce.

You\u2019re invited to watch and appreciate the tea-making process as the staff whisk the verdant powder right in front of you, giving you a whiff of the matcha\u2019s aroma. They take the tea-making process seriously here: there\u2019s even a dedicated spotlight shining on the spot where the staff will present your final pour.<\/p>\n<p>I usually have my sips unsweetened, but I recommend having yours slightly sweetened at this joint. The cafe uses Okinawa black sugar syrup, complementing the matcha\u2019s vegetal, slightly umami notes with a sweet and subtly roasted fragrance. There are also flavours like kinako, salted caramel, and berry that I wish I had the time (or caffeine tolerance) to try in a day.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"a-tea-tasting-worth-slowing-down-for\"><\/span>A tea-tasting worth slowing down for<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_336575\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-336575\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-336575 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/cafe-wabi-sabi-tsukiji-ginza-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"cafe wabi sabi - tsukiji ginza\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/cafe-wabi-sabi-tsukiji-ginza-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/cafe-wabi-sabi-tsukiji-ginza-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/cafe-wabi-sabi-tsukiji-ginza.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-336575\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tea-tasting set from Matcha Cafe Wabi Sabi. Photography: Amelia Ang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even if you have your go-to brews, a tea tasting in Japan is well worth carving out time for.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wabisabi_cafe_teamatcha\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matcha Cafe Wabi-Sabi<\/a> was just a three-minute stroll from my hotel, featuring a tea-pairing experience that unfolded with five teas, each served with a complementary bite and best enjoyed from right to left.<\/p>\n<p>I began with a dark chocolate cake and matcha, a lightly vegetal brew with slight astringency and a subtle, lingering bitterness. The bittersweet richness of the cake worked in harmony with the matcha, softening its bitterness and bringing out its natural sweetness and vegetal notes.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the pairing that surprised me most: green tea with pickles. The green tea featured a gentle floral flavour and a mild aroma, giving me a delightful but unassuming sip. But alongside the punchy, sharp bite of Japanese pickles, one sip unexpectedly mellowed out the sharpness instantly.<\/p>\n<p>Another highlight was the hojicha, made by roasting green tea leaves. Instead of being roasted for six hours, the cafe\u2019s hojicha leaves are roasted for three days, which explains their enhanced aroma and natural sweetness with no astringency. Its roasted notes paired amazingly with the nutty cookie\u2019s roasted soybean powder.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_336576\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-336576\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-336576 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/cafe-wabi-sabi-tsukiji--900x643.jpg\" alt=\"cafe wabi sabi - tsukiji\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/cafe-wabi-sabi-tsukiji--900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/cafe-wabi-sabi-tsukiji--768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/cafe-wabi-sabi-tsukiji-.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-336576\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salmon ochazuke from\u00a0Matcha Cafe Wabi Sabi.

I enjoyed the 20-minute stroll, but you could also take the train \u2013 it\u2019s just one stop away from the nearest train station from the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll find the main shopping street where the iconic Ginza Six mall sits. Luxury brands abound in this district, from upscale brands like Chanel and Dior to mid-range luxury names like Coach. That said, it\u2019s also home to high street and affordable finds (including a Don Quijote).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_336578\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-336578\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-336578 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/ginza-shopping-refa-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"ginza shopping - refa\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/ginza-shopping-refa-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/ginza-shopping-refa-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/ginza-shopping-refa.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-336578\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Left: Heart Brushes and Heart Comb; right: Aile Brush.

Let me de-influence you from the popular items: the Heart Combs felt plasticky and didn\u2019t smooth out frizz, and the Heart Brush wasn\u2019t any better than the average brush.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, I left with the Aile Brush, featuring an ergonomic shape designed to fit the scalp contours for a closer hair brushing experience. While the price tag is a little higher, the bristles are dense enough to detangle and smooth, and flexible enough to avoid causing any painful tugging.<\/p>\n<p>A store that I always find time to visit when I\u2019m in Japan?
