Hotel Details

Location

A 15-minute walk from JR Ueno Station and a 5-minute walk from Nezu metro station, in a quiet, safe neighbourhood close to Ueno Park and its major attractions.

The ryokan is situated in a calm residential area near Yanaka, popular for its traditional atmosphere and human-scale buildings. Guests arriving from Narita Airport can take the Keisei Line (limited express or Skyliner) to Keisei Ueno, then walk about 15-20 minutes, or take the JR Line from Narita via Tokyo Station. From Haneda Airport, the monorail to Hamamatsucho then the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line to Ueno is the most direct public transport route. Ueno Park, home to the Ueno Zoo, multiple museums, a lake, and temples, is within a 10-15-minute walk. Nezu Shrine and Yanaka Ginza shopping street are also close by. The area has several convenience stores across the street, and a variety of cafes and restaurants are within walking distance, though some days see limited options.

Accommodation

Traditional tatami rooms with futon bedding and air conditioning; some rooms have a private bathroom with bath, while others share well-maintained shower and toilet facilities.

All rooms feature tatami (woven-straw) flooring, futon bedding, air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV, and free toiletries. Yukata robes are provided. Rooms with private bathrooms include a bath, bidet, hairdryer, and slippers, often with a quiet street view. Shared bathroom rooms share a toilet and shower, which can occasionally affect convenience during peak times. The property has stairs only - no lift. Ground floor rooms may experience some noise from the entry area during mornings and evenings. A shared refrigerator on the second floor is available for use. Room sizes vary, with some guests finding spaces compact but suitable for sleeping and relaxing.

Dining

No restaurant or breakfast is served on site; however, free coffee and tea are provided, and a variety of nearby eateries offer morning and evening meals.

The ryokan does not have its own restaurant or offer breakfast. Coffee and tea are available in the common area at no extra charge. The surrounding area provides several dining opportunities: cafes and convenience stores are within a short walk, including Hama Sushi, bar hosteria COMUM, and Kamachiku (each about 0.5 km). A convenience store directly opposite the ryokan is convenient for quick bites, drinks, and essentials. Guests planning breakfast may use nearby cafes or convenience store items. Some restaurants in the area are closed on Mondays, so checking opening hours ahead of time is recommended.
