The image above is an AI-generated illustration of what to check along the way. It is not a photograph of the station or hotel, and it does not show actual streets or turns. Use the map below for the walking route from your current location.
1. Follow station signs to Exit C1
Look for C1 on the station signs and follow the route from your arrival platform or ticket gate. Ikebukuro serves several railway lines, so the walk inside the station depends on where you arrive.
If you are already outside the station, check the hotel location from where you are. You do not need to return underground just to start at Exit C1.
2. Check your position after reaching street level
Open the map and confirm both the hotel name and address before walking. Your phone may take a moment to update its position or direction after you leave the underground passage.
The hotel is not directly connected to the station underground. Bring an umbrella if it is raining. If stairs are difficult or you have large luggage, check the station's current elevator information and choose a route that works for you. Do not assume that every exit has step-free access.
3. Check the hotel name before entering
Our sister hotel, HOTEL SHUFFLE, is nearby at 2-16-4 Ikebukuro. HOTEL REFRAIN is at 2-16-5. If you have a reservation, match the hotel name on your confirmation with the property you have reached.
If you cannot find the entrance, call 03-5950-2717 from a Japanese phone, or +81 3 5950 2717 using the international format. Have the nearest exit number or a nearby building name ready to help explain your location.
Before you arrive: short stays and overnight bookings
REST is the hotel's short-stay option; STAY is the overnight option. Check the rates and available hours for your date before coming to the hotel.
An available overnight room on a booking website does not confirm that a short REST stay is available immediately. For a same-day short stay, ask the front desk about your arrival time, number of guests, intended length of stay, and total price.
