Kangaroo Hotel is located just 10 minutes' walk from Minami-Senju Station. It won a Good Design Award, which recognizes designs in the market that enhance quality of life, in 2011.
There's a lounge on the ground floor with musical instruments such as acoustic guitars, bongos and electronic drums that you can play at your leisure. The friendly staff will sometimes even sing along! You can also find a huge chalkboard offering information like local tips that you'd be hard-pressed to find anywhere else.
Rather than a cabin or capsule, you'll get an individual room with air conditioning, a hairdryer, towels and a television, and shower rooms and laundry rooms are also available. You can also take advantage of bicycle rental services for just ¥500 per day—handy if you want to explore nearby places like Ueno and Akihabara!
