Experience of the stay
"Grids Tokyo Ueno Ekimae Hotel & Hostel" is my favorite accommodation, conveniently located within walking distance from Ueno Station, making it ideal for both sightseeing and business stays. The spacious first-floor café lounge lets you focus on remote work or study while enjoying an international atmosphere. The dormitory room I used this time was functional, offered good privacy, and the clean shared spaces were comfortable. The reasonable prices and the friendly service from the staff were also attractive features. I definitely want to use this accommodation again next time.
Experiences during the trip
I enjoyed Yokohama-style ramen at "Ramen Ikka-Ya," located just a short walk from the Iriya Exit of Ueno Station! The soy sauce-based broth was rich and flavorful, and the melting yolk of the soft-boiled egg along with the tender chashu was exquisite. The thick noodles had a chewy texture that paired perfectly with the broth. Furthermore, I loved that I could adjust the flavor intensity and amount of oil to my liking. There was a wide variety of toppings available on the table, allowing for a customized bowl just the way I like it. It was a bowl with strong flavors that left me very satisfied.
