Smart Stay SHIZUKU Ueno Ekimae
Smart Stay SHIZUKU Ueno EkimaeVery convenient location near Ueno station, markets, and convenience stores. The onsen is a blessing for tired legs.
Clean public bath and secure female-only floors. Perfect location for early flights.
The key management system for shoe lockers can be confusing.
Fantastic location and clean facilities.
The capsule was too hot and stuffy, making it hard to sleep.
