Experience of the stay
This time, I stayed at the 'NOHGA HOTEL UENO TOKYO' through HafH.
NOHGA HOTEL UENO TOKYO is a hotel that opened in November 2018, located about a 5-minute walk from JR Ueno Station.
The front desk has a sophisticated and stylish atmosphere.
The staff were very friendly and allowed me to take photos inside the building.
The first floor is a café-restaurant, so you can use it as long as you order something.
The second floor has a communal space that can be used for free, so if you don't need the restaurant, you can relax in the lounge on the second floor or do some work.
Furthermore, you can access the outdoor terrace from the second-floor lounge. This terrace has several large sofas and features like indirect lighting and indoor plants that create a pleasant atmosphere.
It’s a very comfortable space, so don’t forget to visit this terrace when you come to NOHGA HOTEL UENO TOKYO.
The room I stayed in was a double room. It wasn't exceptionally large, but it had decent space, so it didn't feel cramped. I felt that even with the lighting maxed, it was still a bit dark around the bed.
The double room only has a shower and no bathtub. The shower pressure is fine, so you can take a quick shower and be on your way. The toilet is separate, with toilet paper placed on a stand.
Regarding power sources, there are "two outlets + two USB ports" next to the sink. There are also outlets and USB ports next to the bed, so if you have many electronic devices, this should put your mind at ease.
Next to the bed, there is a hotel-specific tablet that allows you to check information about the hotel.
Regarding the room, it had a very simple impression with no wasted space. It was nice to have mineral water provided. The Wi-Fi signal was stable, making it reliable for business use.
The communal spaces are simply designed without waste and feature a sophisticated, stylish atmosphere. Located in Ueno's downtown, it's a rare hotel where you can enjoy a calm adult atmosphere. I felt that the secret to the popularity of NOHGA HOTEL UENO TOKYO might be this comfortable space.
Experiences during the trip
I would also like to introduce recommended spots around NOHGA HOTEL UENO TOKYO.
▼Ueno Park
Located about a 10-minute walk from JR Ueno Station, the historical Ueno Park is nearby. Within the park, there are many facilities such as museums, a zoo, and shrines, so you will never get bored spending the entire day there.
▼Ameya Yokocho
Ameya Yokocho (commonly known as Ame-yoko) is a shopping street with about 400 shops, centered around a distance of about 500 to 600 meters between Ueno and Okachimachi. Recently, it has become a popular tourist spot with many foreign visitors. It’s a historic shopping street that has existed since after the war, and if you are coming to Ueno for the first time, it’s a place you should visit at least once.
▼Nikuno Ooyama Ueno
This is also a famous restaurant in Ueno called Nikuno Ooyama. It is a no-frills restaurant offering meat dishes such as steak and ginger pork, croquettes, wagyu hamburgers, and beer. It was delicious.
▼Ramen Kamo to Negi
This is a ramen shop that you can visit casually, even alone. The popular ramen shop “Kamo to Negi” is very close to Ame-yoko. You purchase a meal ticket from the vending machine outside and give it to the staff when you enter. The shop is quite narrow, and the spacing between seats is so limited that you might bump into the person sitting next to you. This narrowness feels like a typical Tokyo ramen shop, but the taste was exceptional.
