Lonely Planet Review

Quotes Staying in this tucked-away Iriya inn, run by a friendly English-speaking family, is an unpretentious affair. Both Western- and Japanese-style rooms are clean and comfortable, but since they're comparably priced, do yourself the favour of sleeping in a tatami one. With the futon rolled away for the day, it will feel more open and homey. About half the rooms have attached baths, but all have access to the communal baths. The baths and dining area do the job readily enough but offer little superfluous charm; they feel like extensions of the innkeepers' suburban home, which isn't such a bad thing. Ten rooms are Japanese style, while the remaining eight are unremarkable Western-style quarters. Japanese or Western breakfasts are a reasonable price. Internet access is available in the lobby.

How To Get There

From Narita Airport to Iriya the nearest subway station to our place- We suggest that you take the Keisei Skyliner train from the airport. Get off at the final stop, Ueno, and follow the signs to the subway in the direction of Kita-senju, and get off first at the stop, IRIYA. From Subway Iriya Station- 6 minutes on foot along Kototoi street towards Asakusa from the No.1 or No.2 exit of Iriya station on the subway Hibiya line. Walk for about 80 meters to the left from the traffic light ahead of the Seven Eleven (convenience store).

Author Tip

Iriya is the perfect jumping-off point to Kappabashi-dori, the street specialising in restaurant-supply shops. You can find everything from beautiful bargain ceramics, noren (dyed doorway curtains) and - everyone's favourite - plastic food models (they don't come cheap, though). A refreshing place to eat is Rumor Cafe & Bar (3-2-11 Matsugaya, Taito-ku), serving Mexican rice, curries and free internet.
