Mitsui Garden Hotel Chiba

Mitsui Garden Hotel Chiba is a convenient hotel located across from Chiba Central Park, within walking distance of Chiba Station. Access is about a 7-minute walk from JR Chiba Station East Exit. Thanks to its easy access near major stations, it’s an ideal base hotel for sightseeing around Chiba Prefecture. Two recommended points stand out. First is the Mitsui Garden Hotels original “good-sleep pillow,” co-developed with Lofty, a pioneering company in sleep pillows headquartered in Nihonbashi. By dividing the filling into five units, it prevents shifting; it also features a two-layer structure (firmer and softer). With units of different heights, guests can choose the pillow height and feel to their preference, helping them rest at a comfortable height—useful if you’ve ever had trouble sleeping on hotel pillows. Second is the in-house dining. Restaurant “Pasciona” is based on the concept of “Chisan-Chisho” (local production for local consumption), offering special menus centered on vegetables grown in Chiba Prefecture. It also serves Chiba-style local soups such as sardine fishball soup (iwashi tsumire-jiru) and aonori seaweed soup, letting you enjoy local ingredients you’ll want to taste when visiting Chiba. “Japanese Cuisine Shiona” focuses on high-quality dashi (broth) that brings out and enhances ingredient flavors; it selects dashi to match each dish, letting you savor various umami techniques. The 1st-floor lounge has a high ceiling for an open, spacious feel, and offers light meals that work well for lunch. Cakes made by a female pastry chef are also recommended.
