JR Ryogoku Station

This train station was a short 5 minute walk from our hotel, the Hotel Pearl Ryogoku. The station is pretty clean with a few shops here and there. If there’s a problem with your JR Pass (like having trouble swiping), you can politely ask for help from the folks guarding the gate, but they didn’t speak much English. You need to hold onto that pass because you will need it to enter and exit the train station.
This station is small, but easy to navigate through. There are vending machines galore so your tummy or throat won’t worry about its needs. It’s one ride away from Akihabara Station and then a quick transfer to downtown Tokyo.
