Hotel Details

Location

Within a 3-5 minute walk of Ueno Station, Keisei Ueno Station, and the Ameyoko shopping street, this hotel is a transport hub for Narita Airport and central Tokyo.

The hotel is in the heart of Ueno, a vibrant district. Ueno Station (JR and metro) is a 3-minute walk, providing access to lines across Tokyo. Keisei Ueno Station is also steps away, offering direct Skyliner and Sky Access trains to Narita Airport in about 40 minutes, making this a perfect base for airport connections. The Ameyoko market street, with numerous restaurants, izakayas, and shops, is a stone's throw away. Ueno Park, the Ueno Zoo, and museums like the Shitamachi Museum and Ueno Royal Museum are within a 3-15 minute walk. Haneda Airport is 22 km away; last trains depart around 23:48, so late arrivals will need a taxi. Guests consistently highlight the convenience of this location for both sightseeing and transit.

Accommodation

Clean and spacious capsules with air conditioning, a lockable locker, TV, and a fan. Each capsule includes a microwave, free toiletries, and USB-A/USB-C ports.

The accommodation is in private capsules within gender-separated floors. Each capsule is designed with good headroom, a thick curtain for privacy, a lockable storage cupboard suitable for a backpack, and a safe inside the capsule area. The capsule bed is comfortable for a budget hotel, though the pillows are noted as thick. A fan is provided, but air conditioning can make the capsule feel warm when the curtain is closed; keeping it slightly open helps regulate temperature. Daily housekeeping provides fresh linen and towels, which are left at the foot of the bed. Noise levels can vary, with some guests reporting disturbances from others, so light sleepers may benefit from earplugs. No refrigerator is available in the capsule.

Wellness and Leisure

Complimentary access to a large public bath (onsen) and sauna, available from 5:00 AM to 2:00 AM.

The basement houses a traditional Japanese sento with a large hot bath, a cold plunge bath, and a spacious sauna. It is a clean and well-maintained facility free of charge for all guests. The onsen opens from 5:00 AM to 2:00 AM, offering plenty of time for relaxation after a day of sightseeing. The facility also includes a changing area and showers. The lounge on the ground floor features comfortable reclining chairs, massage chairs, and a selection of manga, providing a quiet space to unwind. This is a standout feature for a capsule hotel, especially for solo travelers looking to wind down.

Capsules are not accessible between 10:00 and 16:00 daily for cleaning; this is mandatory and non-negotiable.
Check-in is from 16:00; early arrival allowed only for luggage drop-off. Check-out is at 10:00 sharp; late check-out incurs a fee of 200 yen per 15 minutes.
A key exchange system is in place: guests hand in their room key when leaving and receive it back upon return, which can cause queues at peak times.
No showers are available for men; male guests can only use the public bath and sauna. Women have dedicated showers in the basement.
Tattoos are not permitted in the public bath area.
No refrigerators are available in the capsules.
Air conditioning in capsules may run warm; a fan is provided but can be noisy.
Only one person per capsule; separate bookings are needed for male and female guests due to gender-separated floors.
