The culture of Edo is deeply rooted in the Asakusa and Ueno areas. As it’s also a popular area for travelers coming to Japan, here are some recommended capsule hotels.

Asakusa is an area in the great city of Tokyo that still retains a nostalgic working class atmosphere. There are many sightseeing areas there, including the oldest temple in Tokyo, Sensoji, and the shopping arcade Nakamise Shoutengai behind Kaminarimon. It’s a popular area with both Japanese and foreign tourists alike. Here are some great business hotels in the area that are easy on the wallet but comfortable and convenient.

Ueno is a very fascinating place to go to and if you are looking for stores that have a long history, you’ll be glad to know that this list will give you 20 of the longest serving stores in the neighborhood! Add some diversity to your modern Tokyo itinerary with these blast-to-the-Edo-period experiences!

Kaitenzushi (回転ずし – revolving sushi on a conveyor belt) is the fast food department of Sushi cuisine. We have selected 12 good restaurants in Ueno area. Given the popular location for tourism, most of them are overseas customers-friendly so don’t be shy to communicate with sushi chefs!

The Ueno and Asakusa area is one of Japan’s representative sightseeing areas thanks to how easy it is to get there from both Haneda and Narita airports. There are many famous spots there listed in guidebooks, and it’s very popular due to the ability to enjoy a variety of cultural experiences both ancient and modern there. If you’re going to visit Skytree, here are some places in the nearby historical symbols of Asakusa and Ueno to also check out.

The Tokyo train system is pretty hard to navigate, with the JR Train system intermingling with the Tokyo Metro system. Not to mention the similar colors (the red, magenta, and purple lines come to mind) and the lack of English romanization on many of the maps — if you’re not well-prepared, it can be nearly impossible to get anywhere you want to go. But no fear! You can easily see most of the sights of Tokyo by simply taking the Yamanote Line, which goes to most of the major neighborhoods in Tokyo. (Beware, though: the Yamanote serves almost 4 million people daily. To contrast, the New York subway system is ridden by 5 million people a day over 26 subway lines.)
