Oak Hotel Edo, Something New in Morishita
Next to Ryogoku with its Kokugikan Sumo arena, chanko-nabe stew restaurants, Kiyosumi Garden that was constructed during the Edo period, and the new museum dedicated to ukiyo-e master Katsushika Hokusai, Morishita is full of Edo (old Tokyo) atmosphere. To immerse yourself in it, you can (from Dec. 23, 2016) make Oak Hotel Edo your base. Conveniently close to Toei Subway’s Morishita Station and with rooms or dormitory options suiting different traveling styles, it will help you explore a hidden side of Tokyo!
