We pucked it because it is walking distance to Ueno park, the Yamanote train line and a subway line. The staff was super friendly! Most spoke some English and some quite amazing English. We eat great Japanese breakfast and resered the private bath one night, whic was lovely after a day of traveling. We were a 5 minute walk from the subway and 15 from the train. We'd highly recommend it! Only only tiny complaint is that the futons seemed a bit thin. However, that may be just because we are so accustomed to Western mattresses.
