Japanese Hotel Review in Ueno, Tokyo! Japan Travel Vlog

Guest rooms with open-air bath. Stay in a luxurious hotel in Ueno. Samurai Junjiro Channel Hi, I'm Samurai Junjiro. Born and raised in Japan. In this video, I'm going to show you a gorgeous hotel with an open-air bath in the guest room. It's located in Ueno, one of Tokyo's most famous downtown areas. So it's a very accessible and convenient hotel. In addition to the open-air bath, I'll also introduce some of their recommended dishes. Now, let's get started. Here we are at Ueno Station. The hotel I'm going to show you is about 10 minutes from Ueno Station. I've also uploaded a video of my Ueno food tour, so I'll post the URL in the description box. Now I can see the sign. This is the Centurion Hotel Ueno, which I'll introduce this time. There's also a convenience store downstairs in the annex next door, so there's no need to worry about shopping. Let's go inside then. The lobby is on the second floor up the escalator. Bamboo growing inside the hotel. The lobby is gorgeous with a Japanese-style atmosphere. There are plenty of sofas, so you can relax while waiting for the reception. There's also Tokyo sightseeing guidebooks. Let's go to our room. We'll be staying in a room called Fuji on the third floor. The elevators and corridors are Japanese style. Here we are. Let's go inside. No shoes allowed in the room, so let's change into slippers. The room has a cool Japanese atmosphere. There are two main beds. There's a TV next to the bed. There's a sofa and a table facing each other. The top of the sofa is also a bed. So up to seven people can stay here. Here is another TV. It's small, but there's also a refrigerator. Let's take a look at the bathroom. Spacious and easy to use. Shampoo and other amenities are also provided. There's also a hair dryer and toothbrush. There's a toilet separate from the bathroom. By the way, there's a vending machine and a microwave oven on the fourth floor. And on the fifth floor, there's a washer, dryer and ice machine. The hotel's website also allows you to change the language so you can easily make reservations. Let's go to Ueno town for a meal before taking an outdoor hot spring bath. First up is Japanese barbecue and joy. They serve barbecue at a very reasonable price and you can get all-you-can-drink alcohol at this price. Well, then let's go inside and order some food. Here comes the all-you-can-drink glass. We'll fill this glass with carbonated water with shochu in it. We'll put lemon flavored syrup there. In the other glass, we'll put melon flavored syrup. So convenient that there's a server attached to your seat that serves alcohol. Cheers! First, here comes otoshi. It's a cabbage with salt sauce. The garlic in the cabbage makes you drink more. Here comes the dishes. We ordered four kinds of dishes including wagyu beef ribs and shrimp. Let's grill the shrimp first. I can smell the savory aroma of the shrimp. It's turning a nice color. Let's add the yakiniku sauce while baking. Now that it's done, let's eat. So plump and sweet. The yakiniku sauce has a rich flavor that goes well with the shrimp. Next, let's grill horumon, meat of the large intestine of beef seasoned with sweet and spicy miso. The miso smells so good as it cooks. Now that it's done, let's eat. The fat fills your mouth. The texture is so nice and crunchy. The flavor is so strong. It makes you drink more sake. I can't help but drink too much when there's a server at my seat. Now, let's grill some beef tongue. This beef tongue is so thick. Let's flip it over when it's done. While it's cooking, let's put some lemon juice in it. Put some green onions on the grilled beef tongue. Let's dip it in the lemon juice and eat. The crispy texture of the green onions is a nice accent. So fatty and juicy. Next, let's grill some wagyu beef ribs. The streaks of fat is beautiful. It's turning a nice color. Let's eat. It melts when you put it in your mouth. The sweet sauce goes so well with it. I want to eat rice, but let's go to the next restaurant. The bill was $39.53. Next, we come to the standing sushi bar, Maguro Biro. It's a popular sushi place with its main branch in Asakusa. You can eat sushi for a very reasonable price. There are so many different ingredients. It's hard to decide what to eat. First up is the tuna marinated in soy sauce. It melts when you put it in your mouth. The sesame seeds are a nice accent. Here comes the next sushi. It's octopus, salmon, and sardines. Let's start with the octopus. It's sweet and elastic. The color is beautiful, a sign of freshness. Let's try the salmon next. It's so fatty but refreshing. It melts in your mouth. Now on to the sardines. The green onions and ginger are a nice accent. It's so thick and satisfying to eat. Next, let's try my favorite, conger eel. The sweet sauce is incredibly delicious. It's so fluffy and melts in your mouth. $8.97 is very cheap for such a meal. I'm happy to have eaten and drunk a lot. Let's go back to the hotel and take an open air bath. This is the open air bath. It's so luxurious to have an open air bath in a hotel in Tokyo. Now, let's take a bath. I'm so relaxed and happy. I can't believe I'm in Ueno. Now that I'm bathed so much, let's get out of the bath and have a drink. This is a snack I bought at the family mart right in front of us. It tastes like sea urchin and goes really well with sake. Akane Maru is eating salt-flavored cup ramen. We had a great time on this trip, too. I highly recommend this hotel, so please give it a try. If there's a restaurant you'd like me to introduce, let me know in the comments. Please like and subscribe to my channel, too. Well, that's it for today. See you in the next video.
