Excellent location- near stations, shops, restaurants/cafes, konbini, and more! All staff I encountered were very kind and capable of communicating in both Japanese and English. The Japanese style room allowed for a unique experience for foreigners, with the privacy and comfort you would expect of any hotel. I'd stay here again!

Great stay!

Room was simple but clean and easy to stay in. Close to the SENDAGI train station. Shower pressure was amazing. If you are not used to sleeping on a tatami, know that it is on the firm side. Would stay here again.

I always like to stay in Yanaka, so this was in a great location. Great friendly staff that explains everything you might need to know in English. Rooms are large for the price I paid, much bigger than what I would have got at a similar priced hotel.

Hidden gem in laid back neighborhood.

Fantastic ryokan in a great neighborhood. Quiet, relaxed, and a welcome world away from the hustle and bustle of other parts of Tokyo. Mere minutes away from two different trains, which makes it a perfect spot from which to explore. Definitely for travelers looking for a more laid back side of Tokyo.

Great area of old Tokyo for walking and eating, right near community bus for transport to trains, metro to other parts of city. Quiet, traditional Japanese rooms… no frills. Staff helpful. Futons not the most comfortable I have slept on. Internet is a bit slow and spotty.

Great location and comfortable room

Great location, quiet at night but close to the quaint shopping street, cafes, restaurants, convenience stores and rail links. The room was comfortable, lovely powerful shower and good heating for a chilly January stay. Friendly owner with great English. I recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

Our first time in Nippori area. Really nice and not too crowded compared to other areas in Tokyo. JR is a long uphill walk but subway is only a couple of blocks away. Lots of small restaurants nearby as well as convenient stores. And boutique shops, focus is on cats! Thank you to the helpful hotel staff and probably owner.

Excellent service and location in a charming neighbourhood in the heart of Tokyo. Very close to shops and public transport, with an express train to Narita airport available within 10 minutes’ walk. Room was clean and fairly modern yet still felt traditionally Japanese as you would expect from a ryokan. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.
