After exploring the subway and a quiet city walk
, we were ready to have our first family lunch at Pullman Tokyo Tamachi. A covered walkway links the hotel to Tamachi Train Station on the JR Yamanote Line. It is close to Odaiba, Tamachi, Rainbow Bridge and Hamarikyu Garden.
It is the first Pullman Hotel in Japan. The hotel features various works of Art from murals to large canvas paintings from Japanese Contemporary Artists.
The central highlight of each space as soon as you walk in is the train station. The backdrop of the Reception Counter is a grand view of the busy train tracks. This is inspired and related to Pullman's rich history and connection to trains. Have you heard of the Pullman Sleeping Car? George Pullman, the pioneer designed comfortable sleeping berths for a rail car for long travels. As it became popular, he continued to add conveniences and luxuries which then became a hotel on wheels.
My daughter and nephew are both fascinated by trains.
KASA
Pullman's fusion restaurant known for its Contemporary Mediterranean dishes with an Asian Twist. They are open 7 days a week, serving breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. A smart casual dining area that is definitely family friendly with a barista counter offering cakes and pastries. It's also an idea venue to meet up for Afternoon Tea.
We had 2 rambunctious children but they both felt right at home. We sat at a circular family banquette seating. We ordered both starters and mains.
PLATFORM 9 Roof Top Bar
Sip your cocktail on the ninth floor of the hotel facing the busy Tamachi Station. It was still closed during our visit. They are open from Monday to Saturday from 17:00 to midnight.
Paying tribute to the Yamanote line which connects Tokyo's major city centers, the bar is a hub bringing travelers from all corners. Mixologists combine Japan's unique ingredients with international elements to create innovative flavors.
It was a beautiful day with family.
This made me feel nostalgic.
I can't wait for the days we can all dine out again.
Love & light,
Arni

I like that picture that spreads from the wall all the way to the ceiling. I think I'd probably die hungry in Japan, I imagine their food either awfully artificial or fish based. Is everything terribly expensive there? Since you travel a lot, how do you keep yourself from not ruining your stomach while on a journey?
ReplyDeleteThe hotel looks like a contemporary gallery with different beautiful works of art at every turn. Yes, Japan in general is an expensive country. They have some vegetarian dishes as well. We were fortunate to have had this occasion to be able to enjoy these dishes. I have had some "unforgettable" stomach experiences as well while traveling. For that I started looking up reviews or recommendations from those living there first of places I plan to go to before eating there.
