Experience of the stay
A compact design hotel in Ueno, conveniently located about a 5-minute walk from the station.
Although I arrived late, I was able to see the building beautifully illuminated in green at night, and I didn't mind the late check-in.
There seemed to be a lot of inbound guests.
I received a coin at reception for a welcome drink, which I could use in a machine to get my preferred drink. There was also sake available.
I enjoyed my drink on the sofa in the green balcony area.
Is this Ueno? It felt like I was in a different space, and I had a relaxing time.
The guest room was small but cleverly designed, and I didn't feel cramped.
However, I wished there was a large public bath instead of just a shower.
During my stay, it was very quiet, which I greatly appreciated.
Experiences during the trip
The next morning, I stepped out for breakfast before check-in.
Walking towards Ueno Station, I came across "Coffee Shop Katsura, Taito Ward Office West Side Store."
The shop is a quaint, old-fashioned café, and I almost passed by it, but was drawn in by the sign for their blended morning.
The retro atmosphere felt like another world. On a chilly morning, a warm cup of blended coffee was just perfect. The English bread also caught my attention, and I asked for honey, which was the right choice. Spreading rich honey on the crispy English bread brought out a gentle floral aroma. The sweet honey paired perfectly with the coffee.
After a bit of walking, it's nice to casually explore the area and stumble upon a lovely breakfast spot.
