Book Takenotsuka Station hotels

This was a short walk from Ueno station so it was easy to get to our spot. This was our first stay after a 16 hour flight and it was such a calming room. I chose the Japanese style tatami room. In the morning we got up and walked around Ueno park before we had to check out. The area was lovely and full of great dining options.

Everything was amazing and the bedding was some of the best we’ve ever slept on

I booked the Superior Quadruple Room, Non Smoking for my family of 4. I was pleasantly surprised this room format was more spacious than I expected (Tip: look at room sq footage when selecting a room). It was very clean, friendly staff, coin laundry including soap on 6th floor if needed, extremely convenient being at Oshiage Skytree subway station (takes ~20 mins ride to Tokyo), 7-11 nearby, Life food market right downstairs, restaurants, bakeries, entire mall, SkyTree observatory tower, aquarium etc. It’s a little quieter than staying in the heart of Tokyo but there are lots of attractions a short train ride away (Sensō-ji 浅草寺 temple 2 stops away at Asakusa Stn. Only drawback would be reception desk is actually on 5th floor which can be a bit confusing. Also, it’s about a 40-60 min ride from Haneda closest airport using the quicker toll highway depending on time of day and traffic congestion. Can be reached by airport bus or train as well (harder to drag luggage in tunnels and up stairs so you need to research/plan and know which station has an elevator) and these modes of transport will likely take longer.

It’s Tokyo, so rooms definitely small, but an overall wonderful experience.

Fantastic breakfast.

Did not utilize hotel restaurant, because we were late risers, but there were many other restaurants in the immediate area. Nakamise street was very close by. Sensoji Temple, the train and subway station, all within a few feet from the hotel. Not to mention 7-Eleven, and other convinience stores. Rooms were very comfortable, clean and neat. We didn’t want anything fancy or luxurious, just somewhere safe and reliable to come to after our many adventures. Staff were professional and friendly. Very respectful and courteous. Overall a very enjoyable experience.
