Hotel Details

Location

A 2-minute walk from Iriya Station (Hibiya Line) and an 8-minute walk from Uguisudani Station, this traditional guesthouse sits in a quiet Taito neighborhood.

Iriya Station provides direct metro access to Ueno (one stop), Asakusa, and central Tokyo. Ueno Station is a 20-minute walk, connecting to Narita Airport via the Keisei Line and Skyliner. Nearby attractions include Chosho-ji Temple, Tokyo National Museum The Heiseikan, Akiba Shrine, and Sogenji Temple - all within a short walk. Ueno Park and its museums are about 15 minutes on foot. The area is quiet but well-served by convenience stores (7-Eleven is 5 minutes away) and an onsen bathhouse 3 minutes from the property. Haneda Airport is 23 km away. The neighborhood is residential and peaceful, ideal for those who prefer a calm base after exploring the city.

Dining

A bar serving a free welcome drink per night, an optional Japanese breakfast, and a shared kitchen for self-catering are available.

The on-site bar is a social hub where visitors can enjoy a complimentary welcome drink each evening, facilitating interaction with other travelers and staff. An optional breakfast (available for a fee) must be pre-ordered and typically includes onigiri (rice balls) and miso soup - a light but authentic start to the day. The shared kitchen is well-equipped for cooking and storing food, and the communal dining area is clean and inviting. Within a 5-minute walk, there are numerous restaurants and eateries, including Sho Hong Kong, Kawashima, Iriya Plus Cafe, and Kamiya, offering a variety of cuisines. Note that the immediate vicinity has limited ramen options, but the nearby Ueno and Asakusa areas provide extensive dining choices.

Wellness and Leisure

A beautiful traditional Japanese garden provides a tranquil retreat, and bicycle rental offers a way to explore the area.

The guesthouse's centerpiece is its serene Japanese garden, visible from the rooms and common areas, offering a peaceful escape from the city. Bicycles can be rented for 500 yen per day, ideal for exploring the quiet streets, Ueno Park, and nearby temples. A public onsen (bathhouse) is a 3-minute walk away, though the property itself has no pool, spa, or gym. The bar and garden also serve as leisure spaces for relaxation and socializing.
