Conveniently located next to Ueno Park and the Ueno train stations, the Mitsui Garden Hotel is an excellent choice for all types of traveler. The décor is modern urban, sleek and understated.
Rooms are relatively spacious with comfortable beds and many useful amenities. Though located on a busy street, rooms are quiet. There are many room styles to choose from, starting at 15,700 yen. There are basic twin and doubles, but also “universal” rooms for disabilities, “ladies” rooms for women only, and “panda” rooms that have a whimsical but tastefully done panda theme in tribute to the pandas in Ueno Park Zoo.
There is a small restaurant called Bosco il Chianti that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The daily breakfast buffet has Japanese and Western dishes and for lunch and dinner is inspired by Italian cuisine. There is also a coin laundry and vending machines as well as free Wi-Fi available in all areas.
The staff speaks fluent English and welcomes all types of guests, including families.
