When planning a trip to Tokyo, one of the main concerns is choosing the right accommodation area. Especially important factors to consider are the accessibility to tourist attractions and the cost of accommodation.
A hotel that sweeps away such concerns is "LANDABOUT TOKYO" located in Uguisudani, Tokyo. This hotel incorporates Korean trends, and its simple yet colorful interior is sure to be Instagram-worthy!
Today, we introduce a stylish hotel that may become one of your destinations for a short trip.
Perfect for Instagram! A colorful interior guaranteed to impress.
"LANDABOUT TOKYO" is a station-close hotel located about a 3-minute walk from the south exit of JR Uguisudani Station.
When you think of hotels, you might imagine colors like black or white exuding luxury, but "LANDABOUT TOKYO" offers a vibrant and colorful space! The interior is decorated in shades of pink, blue, and green, and even the stark white signage matches the ambiance perfectly.
As you head towards the second floor where the reception is located, you'll come across a neon sign that says "A LITTLE BIRD TOLD ME" The phrase on the neon sign carries a double meaning: "heard through the grapevine" and the Japanese word for bird, "Uguisu," symbolizing a desire for the hotel to be known from person to person.
Additionally, the hotel's name "LANDABOUT" is derived from a roundabout intersection. It embodies the wish for the hotel to become a place where travelers, locals, and the essence of the city intersect and overlap.
This is a vending machine space surrounded by green walls. Even in such casual spaces, it's Instagram-worthy, making it a hit among female guests!

Despite being close to Ueno Park and Asakusa, Uguisudani is said to have the lowest number of passengers along the JR Yamanote Line.
Uguisudani has been known since the Edo to Meiji periods as an elegant area where literati, including Masaoka Shiki, gathered.
In modern times, there has been a new trend of utilizing old buildings for cafes and guesthouses, and the area has become lively with urban development initiatives.
This time, we introduce three recommended spots for sightseeing in Uguisudani, a hidden gem in Tokyo!
Shingenji (Iriya Kishimojin)

This temple enshrines one of the Edo period's three major goddesses, and it houses deities associated with career success and popularity.
Every year from July 6th to July 8th, the "Morning Glory Market" is held, becoming a symbol of Tokyo. The streets are lined with numerous stalls, allowing visitors to experience the festive atmosphere!
Shikian
This is the house where Masaoka Shiki, a representative haiku poet of the Meiji era and a designated historical site by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, lived in his final days. Many literati, including Natsume Soseki, a friend since university prep school, visited this house where he moved with his family.
Although it was destroyed once by an air raid in 1945 during World War II, a part of the tenement house was rebuilt almost exactly the same five years later. Seeing Shiki's desk and various birds, you can enjoy what Shiki saw.
Calligraphy Museum
During the Meiji to Showa periods, Nakamura Fusetsu, known as both a Western-style painter and a calligrapher, amassed a collection of around 16,000 valuable items related to calligraphy over nearly 40 years. Visitors can see these artifacts, which are said to provide easy-to-understand insights into the history of literature and calligraphic styles.
Nakamura Fusetsu is famous for illustrating Natsume Soseki's masterpiece "I Am a Cat." Since the museum is located right in front of Shiki-an, be sure to take a look together!
