UENO IRIYA HOTEL, Tokyo

The hotel sits on a calm street in a residential neighbourhood, offering a peaceful base while remaining well connected. Iriya Station is just 2-3 minutes on foot, providing direct subway access to central areas. Ueno Station (JR and subway) is a 15-20 minute walk or a short train ride, and Asakusa is also walkable in around 20 minutes. The location is within a minute of a 7-Eleven convenience store. Paid public parking is available nearby at ¥2400 per day. The area has a range of restaurants within a 5-minute walk, including Kitchen R, Fire Chicken, and Izumi.

Units range from one-bedroom apartments to larger layouts of up to 43 m2, accommodating 2-4 guests across combinations of double and single beds (including bunk-style setups). Each room includes a private bathroom with shower, bidet, and toiletries. Kitchens are fully fitted with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, electric kettle, and cookware. A washing machine, dining area, work desk, flat-screen TV, and heating are standard. Some rooms add a balcony or terrace with city or quiet street views. Rooms on the 3rd and 4th floors benefit from better views and scenery; those on the 1st and 2nd floors are slightly more expensive but avoid stair climbing. The apartment-style layout with separate sleeping and living areas makes it practical for groups or families wanting to cook and do laundry on site.

The property does not offer a restaurant, bar, or breakfast. However, every apartment includes a kitchen with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, and cookware, making self-catering straightforward. Convenience stores (7-Eleven, Lawson) are within a minute's walk for groceries and snacks. A vending machine for drinks is available on site. The surrounding streets have a cluster of dining options all roughly 0.5 km away, including Kitchen R, Fire Chicken, Laurier, Izumi, and Mitoya.

Recreation at the hotel is limited to the sun terrace and a kids' outdoor play area. There is no gym, pool, spa, or sauna. The quiet residential neighbourhood and proximity to Ueno Park (15 minutes on foot) provide opportunities for walking and outdoor relaxation.
