We enjoyed the unique experience of staying in a historic building above a sento. The space is quirky, rustic and loft-like. The location is perfect. There is plenty to see; Yanaka Ginza, cemetery, museums, shrines etc. and to eat . . . we enjoyed coffee and breakfast at Cibi in the mornings, udon at Ne-No-Tsu, pasta and pizza at Chama Chama and drinks at Bar Hasegawa. You can easily get anywhere in the city from Sendagi station (right around the corner) and take the express train to and from the airport from Nippori station (a short walk).
Elderly guests should take note that the beds are firm and low and the stairs steep.
