When I went to Tokyo in the past, I usually stayed in Shinjuku. Although I was very familiar with Shibuya, this was the first time I actually chose to live there.
In July and August, Tokyo's temperatures are insanely high, almost suffocating. The throngs of people, neon lights, and noise in Shibuya become even more oppressive in the heat. Walking down the street, one feels a stifling feeling, as if the city is swallowing them all.
This time we chose sequence | MIYASHITA PARK . 
My room was on the corner of the 17th floor. As soon as I opened the curtains, the Shibuya skyline unfolded. The high-altitude view created a sense of distance from the hustle and bustle below, as if I could finally step back from the hustle and bustle and find some space to breathe. This was perhaps my favorite aspect of this hotel. If I'd chosen a middle floor, I'd have been able to experience the same expansive view from above.
MIYASHITA PARK itself is a complex space brimming with design, with meticulous attention to detail in its public areas. Walking downstairs at night, the place feels quieter and more mature than the daytime crowds. However, Tokyo's summer remains unrelenting, making this a place undoubtedly better suited to autumn and winter.
When you walk into a room, the first thing you notice is not the furnishings, but the atmosphere.
sequence | The rooms at MIYASHITA PARK are minimalist, with clean lines, yet never feel cold. Wooden accents and soft lighting create a sense of detachment from the bustle of Shibuya, like suddenly being transported to another time zone.
Near the window, the city lights twinkle outside, yet the room maintains a cocooned tranquility. During the day, the large floor-to-ceiling windows let in the light, illuminating every corner; at night, with the curtains drawn, only the warm indoor light remains, contrasting with the neon lights outside.
The best moment in the room is when I open the curtains late at night and watch the lights of Shibuya still twinkling, while I stay quietly on the high ground and feel that the world is moving away. Perhaps this is the most precious moment in the trip -
In a strange city, find a corner where you can breathe quietly.
