JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Shinjuku is a mid-range tourist and business hotel located a stone’s throw from Shinjuku Station. Opened in 2014, it’s one of the newest hotels in the Shinjuku area and the only one operated by JR Kyushu, a railway company in southern Japan.
JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Shinjuku is located on a side street off Koshu-kaido
The Blossom Shinjuku is about a three-minute walk from the South Exit of Station. It stands southwest of the station on a relatively quiet side street off the Koshu-kaido thoroughfare. The neighborhood is full of retail outlets, such as Yodobashi Camera, and the Lumine, Keio and Odakyu department stores, as well as a plethora of restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars.
The lobby’s illuminated front desk
The Blossom Shinjuku has a décor theme that makes ample use of wood. There’s a wooden frame on the façade, camphor laurel wood number plates for the guest rooms, a polished wooden floor in the lobby, and wooden furniture from Kyushu in the small lounge near the beautifully lit front desk.
