I honestly wish I knew about this the first time I came to Tokyo. It saved me so much money. I still needed the suica card for JR lines, but the fact that I had unlimited access to the Tokyo Metro lines was mind blowing. Would definitely recommend and do this again and again on my next trip to Japan.

Transportation convenience: 3-minute walk from the JR Nippori Station South Exit (Note: The South Exit does not have escalators or elevators. Those with large luggage can use the North Exit, which is not too far away).

Overall, it's super great, and you can book through Klook; another popular platform couldn't book it, so you must book the room through Klook. It's self-check-in, so you can get to your room quickly. The location is very good, close to Ueno Station, Ueno Park Plaza, the zoo, Yokocho Market, and Don Quijote; it's right near the accommodation. The room is small but not too narrow, which wasn't a problem for us! But having a refrigerator was a real surprise! So great! Highly recommended, and its TV has free access to exciting Japanese videos (if you know, you know), I really didn't expect it to be so good!

I will definitely come again because this hotel is convenient and close to Ameya Yokocho. The bath is great and comfortable, and the cleanliness is excellent: I really think it's very clean. Transportation convenience: The subway station is right outside the door. Hotel location: It's in Keisei Ueno, and it's a direct 50-minute ride from Narita Airport. Service: The lobby is self-service, which is advanced and fast.

You can exchange your pass directly at the counter after landing at Narita Airport, which is convenient and fast. It's a very cost-effective option for planning trips to various attractions in the Tohoku region, considering the overall transportation. I would definitely consider purchasing it again!
