complimentary yukatas

The Katsuraro Annex, a ryokan near Ueno Park in Tokyo, is a hidden treasure. It’s a favorite of Europeans on a budget. When Michael and I stayed there, we chose a room with a bath for $125/night. Continental breakfast ($8) and bicycles ($2/day) were additional.

Don’t expect any furniture in your room besides two futons on the floor. Do expect two crisply pressed yukatas.
