Nohga Hotel

Top choice in Ueno & Yanesen


Opened in November 2018, this super-stylish hotel ups the ante on midrange digs around Ueno. Fronted by attractive greenery and with a very pleasant restaurant-lounge area, Nohga's developers have incorporated products from local artisans and contemporary brands (such as Tokyobike for its rental cyles) into the overall design. Rooms are comfortable and tastefully decorated in soft grey.
