“The Forest Hongo sits quietly in Bunkyo ward, a neighborhood that impresses with its dedication to learning and thoughtfulness. I admire the hotel's French-inflected dining alongside more expected Western breakfast options, a welcome touch. Its serene atmosphere and proximity to the University of Tokyo make it, in my view, an appealing base for academic visits.”
