Ueno is one of the best places to stay in Tokyo for first-time visitors, especially if you’re looking for affordable hotels, excellent transportation, and easy access from Narita Airport.
One of Ueno’s biggest advantages is its location. The Keisei Skyliner provides direct access to Narita Airport, and popular areas such as Asakusa, Akihabara, Tokyo Station, and Ginza are all just a short train ride away.
Before choosing your hotel, compare the latest prices and availability and guest reviews.

The Keisei Skyliner takes you directly to Ueno Station in about 40 minutes, so you won’t have to transfer trains while carrying heavy luggage after a long flight.
Another bonus is Ameyoko Shopping Street, where you’ll find plenty of affordable restaurants, street food, supermarkets, drugstores, and souvenir shops. It’s a great place to enjoy your first evening in Japan without having to travel far from your hotel.
