Ryokan Sawanoya 旅館　澤の屋

A friendly family-run ryokan with convenient access to some of Tokyo's most popular tourist attractions

Just north of Ueno Park and a little south of the historic Yanaka neighborhood is the family-run Ryokan Sawanoya. A rustic, traditional-style Japanese hotel, you can experience authentic Japanese hospitality while having Ueno's most popular attractions at your doorstep.

The hotel features two types of reservable private baths: one made of cypress wood and one made of clay, both of which will allow you to relax while gazing at the beautiful gardens. The rooms have traditional tatami mats and futon bedding. To make the most of your stay, rent one of the available bikes to zip through the neighborhood, stopping off at some of the many nearby tourist attractions, which include the Tokyo National Museum, Ueno Zoo, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art.
