Opened in 2018, Mimaru has beautifully designed rooms with fully equipped kitchens and proper bathrooms (no pokey unit baths!). Its apartment studios, some with Japanese tatami (tightly woven floor matting) areas, sleep up to four people. Online deals via its Facebook page can make it a great accommodation option, particularly for families or groups.
There are several other branches in the city, including three around Ueno.
