This video takes viewers on an intriguing walk through the Uguisudani hotel district in Tokyo during a May afternoon in 2025. Uguisudani (鶯谷), located in the Taito ward of Tokyo, is known for its distinctive love hotel area and close proximity to historic Ueno. The daytime exploration captures the quieter side of a neighborhood often associated with nightlife, providing a fresh perspective on its unique atmosphere.

As the camera weaves through Uguisudani’s narrow alleys lined with various love hotels, viewers gain insight into a lesser-seen facet of Tokyo’s urban landscape. The walk showcases the blend of Showa-era architecture and more modern buildings, delivering an authentic street-level experience of this offbeat district. Occasional nods to everyday local life and passing residents add to the immersive experience.

Located just one train stop from Ueno Station, Uguisudani is not only popular for its hotels, but also for convenient access to Tokyo’s eastern neighborhoods, Ameyoko Market, and several notable temples and shrines. This video spotlights an area that typically attracts both visiting couples and curious travelers eager to explore Tokyo’s more unconventional corners. Walking through Uguisudani by day reveals a peaceful, subdued charm, contrasting with its livelier reputation after dark.
