Yanaka Sow is a beautiful, seemingly newer small hotel in an area of Tokyo surrounded by old temples and graveyards. Very easy walk to Nippori station, which can connect directly to Narita airport. The design of the hotel incorporates a lot of books about the local area and Japanese culture in general - including music (ambient cassettes in the laundry area were fun to listen to while using the facilities). This place is great for couples or very small groups.
