In the popular tourist area Ueno, a unique art hostel has newly opened, which is named “Q Stay and Lounge Ueno”. About 2 years was spent on building the plot of the hostel, which is why the 5-story hostel looks well-designed for guests to comfortably stay, communicate with international travelers and enjoy art and technology.
Q Stay and Lounge Ueno with the concept “A hub of cultures in the heart of Tokyo” mainly consists of dormitory and private rooms and the lively cafe Q Cafe. There are lots of artistic drawings, wall paintings, high-tech equipment and various useful facilities filled in the building. Check out how Q Stay and Lounge Ueno is and how to make a reservation.
Q Cafe
The chic hostel welcomes you with a large lantern hanging at the entrance. On the first floor, the cool cafe and bar Q Cafe offers not only coffee, beer and snacks but chances to socialize and communicate with other guests who come from all over the world. The multilingual chat tool Kotozna Group Chat allows guests to talk to each other in their native languages translating over 100 languages.
Several art drawings made by young creators who are from Tokyo University of Arts, which is one of the most prestigious art school in Japan are displayed on the same floor and the first basement level. You can feel what Japan is like now communicating with Japanese artists through the modern arts while mingling with Japanese staff, tourists and local Tokyoites using the multilingual tool.
