Overview
Between Tokyo Akasaka Station and Tameike-sanno Station, Via Inn Prime Akasaka has two subway approaches within a four-minute walk. Akasaka-mitsuke Station is seven minutes away, opening up more lines for trips across central Tokyo.
Opened in 2022, the 345-room hotel provides a compact, mid-range stay rather than a full-service experience. Its large guest-only bath and carefully prepared breakfast add welcome comfort to a short city visit.
Rooms
Rooms are compact. Singles measure 13 or 14 square meters and have 140-centimeter-wide beds. The Via Inn Single adds an island desk and bench sofa, while the standard Single has a conventional desk.
Double rooms range from 15 to 19 square meters, with 160- or 180-centimeter-wide beds. Twin rooms measure 19 square meters, and the 17-square-meter accessible room has handrails and fewer level changes. All rooms are non-smoking.
Facilities
Akane no Yu is on the third floor, with a spacious indoor bath and an outdoor microbubble bath. It opens from 06:00 to 09:00 and again from 15:00 until 01:00, so there's time for a soak after a late return.
Paid coin laundry, a microwave, and an ice machine are on the same floor. A 24-hour 7-Eleven is on the first floor, while the second floor has a smoking booth. Guest rooms remain smoke-free.
Dining
Breakfast runs from 06:30 to 10:00 in the second-floor Asahi Hall. Alongside the buffet, the kitchen prepares a hot dish and bakes bread on site, with rice balls and homemade pudding rounding out the morning selection.
This is a breakfast venue, not an all-day restaurant. For lunch and dinner, the surrounding streets of Tokyo-Akasaka offer a much wider choice.
Location and transport
The closest approach is Akasaka Station Exit 2 on the Chiyoda Line, about three minutes away. Tameike-sanno Exit 11 is a four-minute walk and serves the Ginza and Namboku lines. Akasaka-mitsuke Exit 10 takes about seven minutes and adds the Marunouchi Line, as well as another entrance to the Ginza Line.
Having several options matters in a district without one dominant JR station. Akasaka Sacas connects directly to Akasaka Station, while Hie Shrine and the area's restaurant streets are also close enough to explore on foot.
Airport access
From Haneda Airport, take a Keikyu train to Shimbashi, change to the Ginza Line for Tameike-sanno, then walk four minutes to the hotel. Allow extra time for the transfer and airport waiting.
Narita Airport is less direct. Plan on rail or an airport bus followed by an onward connection or walk in Akasaka, and check the current route before travel.
Why stay here
Several central subway lines make cross-city travel easier, while the public bath and breakfast provide more comfort than the compact rooms alone might suggest. Rooms hold no more than two guests, so the arrangement favors solo travelers and couples who don't need the space or services of a full-service hotel.
Akasaka also combines office convenience with plenty to do after work or sightseeing. Akasaka Sacas, local restaurants, Hie Shrine, and nearby performance venues mean an evening here doesn't have to begin with another train journey.
Good to know
Standard check-in is at 15:00, and checkout is at 10:00. The hotel has no guest parking, triple rooms, or extra beds. One child age 12 or younger may share an existing bed with each adult at no charge, but a separate child towel isn't provided.
The public bath is reserved for hotel guests, and towels should be brought from the room. Guests with tattoos cannot use the bath.
