The hotel provides a lovely fusion of cutting-edge comfort and classical Japanese design. This unusual lodging provides a genuine and immersive experience, making it ideal for those who want to experience the bustle of Japan's capital while still feeling peaceful in a historic setting.

Toco Guest House. It is located in a magnificently restored ninety-year-old Japanese structure that highlights the Taisho era's exquisite architecture and craftsmanship. With its tatami mat flooring, shoji screens, and antique decorations, the sliding wooden entrances instantly transport you to a bygone period. The space exudes a timeless appeal. The peaceful garden offers a calm escape from the busy city outside, complete with a koi pond and bamboo trees.

The guest house gives a range of lodging options, from private rooms to dorm-style lodging, to accommodate a range of tastes and price points. Furnished with original and comfortable furnishings, each room boasts air conditioning, traditional decor, and futon beds for a good night's sleep. The common areas, which include a cozy lounge and a fully functional kitchen, give visitors places to unwind and mingle, creating a welcoming environment.

The hotel is close to Ueno Park, which has a zoo, museums, and stunning cherry blossoms in the springtime, as well as Asakusa, which is home to the well-known Senso-ji Temple. Travelers may easily explore all that Tokyo has to offer, from the frenetic shopping centers of Shibuya and Shinjuku to the serene gardens of the Imperial Palace, thanks to the adjacent Iriya Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line.
