Please make the poster a little easier to understand.It was difficult to find the location of the facility even after checking Google Maps.It can't be helped that there were people who snored so loudly.

Accommodation for men only. The private rooms were basic and the environment noisy, but the large bathrooms and relaxation rooms were well received. The capsule rooms are quiet and recommended. Prices are 3,500 yen for capsules and 4,000 yen for private rooms. Good location and close to Ameyoko, but private rooms offer little privacy and the noise of other guests is disturbing, so capsule rooms are best for peace and quiet.

I stayed here around 2018, before the coronavirus.I still can't forget it. Because there was a pachinko parlor right above the capsule, I couldn't sleep at all, it was hot and humid, and I ended up dreaming of being chased by debt collectors.In that sense, it is an unforgettable hotel. The hot springs were nice.

Why are Oriental style bathers so cool? It's cold enough to cause a heart attack! Since I like cold baths, I wonder if they could at least make it 17-18 degrees.I want to take a relaxing bath.

This is a capsule hotel for men only. There is a game room on the 1st to 3rd floors, a front desk on the 4th floor, a lounge, laundry + bath room, and a bathhouse on the 5th floor, and there is a Korean staff member. However, it is not recommended for sensitive people. This is because you can slightly hear the subway passing nearby. + Towels are given to you once a day after you go out.

A capsule hotel where the experience seems to change drastically depending on whether or not you use earplugs. Since I had not prepared anything for the day, my sleep was frequently disturbed by other guests' conversations and snoring.It seems like the building is being renovated and operated with a history of more than a few decades, so although there are some old spots left, the overall feel is clean. I think it's a very cost-effective place to stay near Ueno Station where you can use the bath and sauna, but as I mentioned earlier, it's a capsule hotel with an open ceiling, so it's probably a good idea to bring earplugs.This is a great accommodation option in these days when hotel accommodation costs are soaring. Thank you.
