Motoasakusa BaseSet in Taito's Motoasakusa area, convenient for Ueno, Asakusa, and central Tokyo outings.

Good Rail AccessNear Inaricho and Shin-Okachimachi, making city transfers easier without staying in busier hubs.

Apartment-Style RoomsRooms include a kitchen, dining area, and seating space for more flexible stays.

Washer IncludedIn-room washing machine adds real convenience for families and longer Tokyo trips.

Family-Friendly LayoutFamily rooms and multi-bed setups suit small groups traveling together.

Strong Guest ScoresRecent reviews especially praise cleanliness, comfort, value, and overall practicality.

Recommended stay2-3 nightsAccess is the strongest stay driver here: arrive, settle into the apartment-style room, use nearby stations for Ueno-Asakusa-Akihabara days, then move on before the area becomes repetitive.

Trip-planning verdict: Best used as a practical Tokyo sightseeing base in eastern Tokyo, not as a destination ryokan or onsen stay.

Know before booking

Not a true ryokanThis is an apartment-style urban stay with modern convenience, not a traditional inn with tatami service, kaiseki, or hot-spring bathing.

No onsen drawThere is no verified onsen, reservable bath, spa, or destination-wellness reason to stay extra nights here.

Self-service feelGuest feedback indicates limited on-site staffing and no luggage storage, so arrival timing matters.

Easy to overstayThe location is efficient, but this immediate neighborhood is more residential and functional than all-day atmospheric.

Useful access points Stations, stops, airports and practical travel advice.

Best way to arrive For most travelers, arrive via Shin-Okachimachi Station or Inaricho Station and walk a few minutes if luggage is manageable. From Narita, Keisei-Ueno is usually a practical airport rail gateway; from Haneda, Ueno area rail access plus a short taxi can be easier with heavy bags.

Ueno Stationstation
910 mabout 18–25 min on footabout 5–10 min by taxiabout 10–20 min depending on route and exit used
Best major transfer hub nearby for JR lines, Tokyo Metro, and onward intercity travel; a short taxi is sensible with large luggage.
Okachimachi Stationstation
920 mabout 15–20 min on footabout 5–10 min by taxiabout 10–15 min depending on route
Useful for JR Yamanote and Keihin-Tohoku Line access, but less convenient on foot than Shin-Okachimachi or Inaricho.
Keisei-Ueno Stationstation
1.2 kmabout 20–25 min on footabout 8–12 min by taxiabout 15–25 min depending on connection
Very useful for Narita Airport access, especially by Keisei Skyliner or related services; combine with taxi if carrying luggage.
Shin-Okachimachi Stationmetro
140 mabout 3–6 min on footnot usually needed
Best nearby all-round station for many guests; especially useful for Toei Oedo Line and Tsukuba Express access with a short walk to the ryokan.
Inaricho Stationmetro
290 mabout 6–9 min on footnot usually needed
A practical nearby Tokyo Metro Ginza Line option for direct city access; good if your route already uses the Ginza Line.
Kuramae Stationmetro
890 mabout 18–25 min on footabout 5–10 min by taxiabout 10–20 min depending on line and exit
Helpful secondary option for Toei Asakusa Line access, including some airport-oriented routes, but not the closest station for this property.
Haneda Airportairport
18 kmabout 30–45 min by taxi in typical conditionsabout 40–60 min depending on transfers
Usually the most convenient airport for central Tokyo overall; a taxi from a major nearby station may be easier than managing multiple transfers with luggage.
Narita International Airportairport
55 kmabout 60–90+ min by taxi and usually not idealabout 50–75 min to the Ueno area, then a short transfer
Best reached by rail toward Keisei-Ueno or the Ueno area; generally more practical than taking a long taxi all the way to the ryokan.

5 reasons to choose this ryokan best points

Large rooms for groupsThis property is built around 50–65㎡ layouts for 6 to 8 guests, which is unusually spacious for Tokyo. It works especially well for families or friend groups who want to stay together instead of splitting into multiple rooms.
Practical apartment-style amenitiesRooms include a washing machine, refrigerator, microwave, gas stove, rice cooker, and kitchen utensils. That makes longer stays and simple meals much easier than in a standard hotel room.
Great base for east Tokyo sightseeingFrom Motoasakusa, you can easily reach Ueno, Asakusa, and Akihabara, with several key spots described as walkable. It suits travelers who want a sightseeing base rather than a destination resort stay.
Good fit for self-sufficient travelersThe setup is geared toward guests who value space, home-style convenience, and independence. Having in-room appliances and a residential feel can make the stay more comfortable than a conventional compact city hotel.
Distinctive, colorful interiorsThe hotel highlights a bold Memphis-style design with bright colors and geometric decor. If you dislike bland chain-hotel rooms, this gives the stay a more memorable personality.

5 reasons not to choose this ryokan watch-outs

Not a traditional ryokan experienceDespite being listed on some booking pages as a ryokan, this is much closer to an apartment hotel. Travelers expecting tatami rooms, kaiseki dining, or onsen-style hospitality may be disappointed.
Best value only for larger groupsMost room types are designed for 6 to 8 guests with multiple double beds. Solo travelers or couples may end up paying for far more space than they need.
Limited intimate hotel feelWith only 10 rooms and a self-contained apartment-style setup, the experience can feel more functional than full-service. If you want concierge-style attention or extensive hotel facilities, this may feel light.
Design may not suit every travelerThe bold color palette and Memphis-inspired decor are a matter of taste. Guests who prefer calm, classic Japanese styling may find the look less relaxing.
Location is convenient but not sereneBeing positioned for easy access to busy areas like Ueno, Asakusa, and Akihabara is great for city exploration, but it is not the kind of secluded setting people often imagine for a relaxing ryokan stay. Choose it for urban convenience rather than retreat-like atmosphere.

Current position: 9th out of 40 ryokans in Tokyo-to.
