This video features a walking tour around the Uguisudani Station (鶯谷駅) area, located on the Yamanote Line in central Tokyo. Known as one of Japan’s most prominent hotel districts, Uguisudani is situated in Taito Ward, but is very close to famous neighborhoods such as Ueno, Yanaka, and Nippori. Despite its reputation for love hotels, the area is a fascinating blend of old Tokyo streets, Showa-era architecture, and local businesses.

Filmed during the early afternoon, the video captures the unique vibe of Uguisudani when it’s quieter than its nighttime atmosphere. Viewers can observe the everyday life, mix of hotels, convenience stores, and restaurants that define this part of Tokyo. The streets around Uguisudani are narrow and lined with a variety of buildings from retro bars and cafés to modern establishments, giving insight into both the historic and contemporary sides of the city.

Uguisudani Station is well-served by the JR Yamanote and Keihin-Tohoku lines, making it convenient for visitors interested in exploring a lesser-known side of Tokyo. While the hotel district is what most people associate with Uguisudani, the video also highlights how close it is to quiet residential zones and hidden local spots. Whether you’re a traveler looking to explore off-the-beaten-path areas or interested in understanding the diverse character of Tokyo’s inner neighborhoods, this stroll provides an authentic look at city life away from the usual tourist highlights.
