Ueno Tsukuba Hotel

A basic business hotel in Ueno, the Tsukuba is clean and good value for money. Rooms are tiny, so opt for a Japanese-style room, where the futon is cleared away in the morning. Western-style rooms have baths, but if you stay in a Japanese room you’ll be expected to bathe Japanese-style in the communal bath on the ground floor. The hotel is two minutes’ walk from Inaricho station on the Ginza line.
