About

都電屋 Todenhotel

都電屋 Todenhotel sits in the quiet Arakawa district of Tokyo, just 450 metres from Jokanji Temple and within a 25-minute walk of the sprawling Ueno Park. Minowa tube station is a few steps away, putting the rest of the city within easy reach. The hotel itself is a modest two-star property with a warm, nostalgic atmosphere.

Rooms are simple but well-considered, with air conditioning, heating and soundproofing as standard. The Two-Bedroom Suite adds a washer-dryer, making it a practical choice for families travelling with young children. Downstairs, the restaurant is something of a paradise for rail enthusiasts, and the surrounding streets hold an old shopping street, a supermarket and a bakery.

“The hotel has a warm, cute feel. There's a fantastic restaurant across the street where my family had wonderful bento boxes — authentic and home-cooked. A nearby bakery with fresh bread made our mornings better.”
