The inn’s proximity to Ueno Park makes it ideal for guests wanting to explore Tokyo’s natural beauty and historical sites. This location also allows easy access to the fascinating exhibits at the National Museum of Nature and Science and the artistic collections found in the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum.

Guests appreciate Ryokan Katsutaro for its genuine Japanese hospitality. The rooms often feature tatami mats and futons, offering a glimpse into traditional Japanese living while ensuring comfort. Asakusa’s Senso-ji Temple is nearby, providing visitors with the opportunity to immerse themselves in spiritual and cultural explorations within minutes from their accommodation.

However, some might find Ryokan Katsutaro lacking modern amenities compared to contemporary hotels. It’s designed more for those who value cultural experiences over luxury comforts. Another factor could be limited space which is typical of traditional inns but might not suit everyone’s preference.

With its strategic location near key attractions like Ueno Zoo and Yanaka Ginza shopping street, guests can enjoy both leisurely strolls in nature or vibrant city life.
