Hotel Coco Grand

Ueno & Yanesen


The decor of this hotel, overlooking Ueno-kōen's Shinobazu-ike, is brassy, bordering on love-hotel territory. But there's no arguing with the queen-sized beds, spacious communal bathing facilities (including a wood sauna for men and a rock sauna for women) and breakfast buffet included in the rates.
