HOTEL NIWA TOKYO: Enjoy a healthy luxury lunch and dessert with a green view!

As the name suggests, HOTEL NIWA TOKYO is a beautiful hotel with a garden (niwa in Japanese). I visited the hotel’s restaurant for a healthy lunch while enjoying the view of their green yard. And let me tell you: I had a relaxing and delightful time!

Hotel Niwa Tokyo

HOTEL NIWA TOKYO is about 3 minutes from the East Exit of JR Suidobashi Station. With a lot of lush greenery in front of the hotel, the hotel has a very relaxed and calm vibe.

Due to the seismic base isolation, there is some extra room around the building. This space was used to build a refreshing stream!
The concept of HOTEL NIWA TOKYO is “beautiful modern Japanese”. Seasonal goods are sold in the lobby. These are beautiful Edo wind chimes with a charming sound.

The stones in the garden were part of the base of a bridge and of a shrine’s torii gate.

The garden of HOTEL NIWA TOKYO has naturally shaped rocks and gently flowing streams mixed with human-made tubular and square stones which created an interesting contrast.

Look at how lush and green the garden looks in August!

The hotel has two restaurants on both sides of the garden facing each other: authentic Japanese kaiseki cuisine “YUKURI” and casual French “LIEU”. As for me, I had the healthy lunch set at “LIEU”. The set consists of a main dish – you may choose one out of three options –, a fresh, colorful salad, soup with bread, and a coffee or tea.

Red sea bream and colorful seasonal vegetables. The way the meals are prepared and carefully arranged is just beautiful and very typical for Japan!

When pre-ordering and making your reservation online, you can actually order a limited lunch dessert. This season’s limited dessert is “peach parfait”! the parfait was surprisingly big and tasted just wonderful! If you have a sweet tooth, don’t miss this sweet treat!

Big peach slices, yogurt mousse, lychee, and raspberry as an accent.

Thanks to the green garden and the healthy lunch, I had a splendid time. What a surprise to find this charming oasis in a hotel in Tokyo!

What else?

In addition to the lunch menu, HOTEL NIWA TOKYO offers other meal sets, too.

* To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, the hotel currently changed its breakfast from a buffet-style to a breakfast set menu (with free refills and second helpings!).
Don’t forget to check out their very affordable Happy Hour Set – between 17:00 and 19:00!
