"I stayed for 6 nights, and it was quite peaceful. Just a two-minute walk away (turn right then left from the exit), there's a supermarket. Every evening before heading back to the hotel, I'd pop in to buy some milk and breakfast items. The prices were very reasonable. My go-to was to grab things that were either a bit of a splurge or hard to come by back home – honestly, I bought so much I couldn't possibly eat it all, haha! Sometimes I'd even buy some beef to stir-fry back at the hotel or use it for noodles for breakfast. In the evenings, if I wasn't back too late, I'd treat myself to some tuna sashimi. Absolutely delightful!
If you happen to stay here, I've got a can of beer in the fridge for you!
It was only when I was about to leave that I realized how incredibly convenient the transportation was. Just a three-minute walk to the left from the exit, you'll find the Kikusui-bashi (菊屋橋) bus stop for lines 上46 and 草23, making it easy to get to Senso-ji Temple and Kaminarimon in Asakusa. Or, cross the street and take a bus in the opposite direction to Ueno. Ueno's biggest shopping complex, 'Panco Ya,' was great for browsing. HABIS, an internet-famous cake shop, had no queue, and there was a quiet matcha dessert place. I even bought some clothes as it was sale season, so prices were very friendly. The bus stop in Ueno is right next to the historic Matsuzakaya department store.
From Ueno, you can also catch a bus to Narita Airport. It takes about 40 minutes, which is quick and comfortable, though it might be on the pricier side compared to other options, but it's very easy to find.
Oh, and there's another supermarket just a few minutes' walk away – a local one, the kind where residents shop. You can buy matcha products there directly; I think they make great souvenirs.
Also, Asakusa Rox is not far. I just quickly checked it out, but frankly, I didn't think it was particularly special. It felt like a very generic shopping mall with common stores like Daiso, 3Coins, and Muji. Not really worth a dedicated visit; worth only a quick peek if you're already in the area after visiting Senso-ji Temple."
