We stayed for two nights for our layover in Tokyo. From Narita airport it took about 1hr 5min when you take the Skyliner. The directions were accurate but I’m really bad at directions so it was my fault for getting a bit lost. Checking into the room is really convenient since it uses a keypad, also good for me since I have a bad habit of losing my keys. The room is a good size, it was enough space for the two of us and our luggage. I liked how cozy it was and the decor is simple but makes the space very comfortable. Bathrooms are always a little tight on space in Asia but everything we needed was there.
The closest station is Minowa which is a good 9-10min walk away. It’s not a hard walk but definitely takes a bit of time. You’ll have to transfer at Ueno to get to the other main lines. Overall, we had a very comfortable stay. The area is quiet and well lit at night. Heads up though, the area to the South is a red light district at night. We walked through it by accident when we were looking around. It’s still very safe, no one bothers you but we thought it was pretty funny.
Thank you to Min for having us.
