Greetings.
Am likely to be staying at this property for eleven days starting on Sunday. I've searched the archives, but have found only obscure references to the hotel and an allegedly poor location.
My business will be occuring in Shibuya for most of the trip, but also in Ichikawa-Shijetzu for a few days as well. Any tips on transit (I understand the hotel is a ten minute walk from the subway?), places to eat, etc. around this hotel would be greatly appreciated.
I'll add to this thread upon my return with what I learn as well, so that others may benefit.
Thanks in advance.

That is one slogging commute. Your best bet between Chinzan-so and Shibuya is to take cab to Mejiro station and then fight it out on the Yamanote line down to Shibuya (another 20 minutes or so).
A better alternative is not to stay there. If (personally) I had business to attend to in Shibuya for 11 days, I'd stay at the Cerulean, not luxury, not extra-extra, but quite decent. My usual parking spot is the PHT (actually here right this very minute), but if I needed to commute to Shibuya for 11 days I'd stay in Shibuya.
