It is a little out of the way in the Edogawa area but strictly speaking only 30 minutes by subway to Tokyo Station or to Ginza and the major metropolitan hubs

It was a quaint Ryokan which we wanted to experience- with tatami mate and traditional beds on the floor and really low table and "chair" on the floor! Nice to experience this in Japan. Fantastic service by our innkeeper. Lots of good restaurants and convenience stores in a residential neighborhood. Quiet and relaxing. Arigato gozaimasu!

Beautiful property and room, and a kind patient and caring host. It is easy to access the centre from the nearby station, but the area of the Ryokan is very special too, with loads of delicious Izakaya’s nearby!

Nothing!

The host was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. The room was the perfect size for two people, the facilities all worked well, and everything was clean!

I had a lovely stay in a traditional Japanese room. Normal western hotels are boring, you're in Japan after all. The host speaks some English (which really is not a given here at all) and he was very friendly. The futon was comfortable and I had no back problems at all. It's 20-35 minutes away by train from the major attractions, but for the price I'm not complaining. The train station is 5 minutes away anyway, so it wasn't even a problem.

There was no access to the building after 9pm . If you wanted to get back in you had to ring and disturb the owner. He was absolutely fine with me coming in late but I felt bad disturbing him at 2am , so a key method to open the main door would be very helpful.

The owner was very friendly and accommodating to foreigners.

The owner of this hotel is a very courteous and helpful man. He speaks english, always welcomed us with a smile gave us recommendations when we needed it. The garden cultivated is beautiful, and the styling of our room is exactly what we were looking for. Would book again.

Could have used a microwave. Area around the train station is a bit sketchy.

The ryokan was clean and well maintained, and my room was spacious (for Japan). The shutters do a very good job blocking out light when you want to sleep in. The host was very kind and diligent about helping me with my bags, cleaning my room, and seeing me in and out.

Very helpful and friendly manager who communicates well in English. Convenient location to restaurants, food and convenience markets, train station. Room and entire building kept immaculately clean. Luggage storage post-departure was a big plus. Overall an excellent ryokan experience in metro Tokyo at great value.

For one month I traveled all around Japan. Tokyo, Kinugawa Onsen, Yamagata, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Koyasan, Hiroshima, Sendai ... For the end of my trip, I chose this beautiful place based on the good reviews and nice pictures. It was beautiful and amazing. First because of the kindness and cheerful personality of the owner. He was always very helpful and attentive, a real example of the hospitality and thoughtfulness Japan is famous for. He always welcomed me with a smile and made me feel like home. Then, the hotel itself and the room. It was quiet, comfortable, and clean. The architecture of the room makes it all very comfy (bath/shower, sink are WC separated). The room itself was the most spacious I stayed in, with futons and sheets that were inviting to rest. The towels were beautiful and fluffy. Lastly, the location. Some people would give this ryokan a second thought because it is not close to the popular neighborhoods around the Yamanote line. In reality, it is incredibly close to Akihabara and Tokyo station, and 10min or less away from the metro. This facilitates your trips around Tokyo if you want to visit other cities. Thank you for your Omotenashi, the good tea, and the amazing room. ありがとうございます！

The staff was extremely kind and the location was perfect. It was close to the trains, buses, and delicious restaurants! In fact, we were able to catch a bus straight to the Haneda airport for 1100 yen from the train station (which was about a 5-10 min walk from the ryokan). The space was extremely roomy and clean with helpful amenities (like a mini fridge). We loved our stay!

The landlord is outstandingly friendly. He speaks good English. He is exceptionally flexible (e.g. I once returned late, and he had already prepared the keys for me to pickup) and shows a keen intent to provide complete customer satisfaction. The rooms are clean, the futon is great to sleep on. There's a water cooker and good tea provided in the room, plus TV and fridge. Best thing: There's air condition with an English manual. The hotel is quiet, and so is the neighborhood. There are a lot of konbinis and a supermarket within a 100m radius. Also, there are very diverse restaurants located along the main road. The next JR train station (Koiwa) is less than 500m away; access by train is easy even with suitcases, because there are no steep kerbstones. It is easy to find the hotel; there's a clear sign on the main road. Distance between Koiwa station and Akihabara is less than 20 min (7 stations; the line also takes you to Shinjuku within another 9 stations).

There was not really anything I didn't like! The hair dryer was a bit slow, but that didn't bother me too much. I experienced nothing negative there. :)

The owner is such a sweet and welcoming person. He took all our luggage and backpacks into the room, which was really thoughtful.☺️💗 This place is so beautiful, clean and the futon is very comfortable. We had a bathroom with a tub and a separate toilet in a different room. I recommend it to everyone who wants to visit Japan on a budget~ It's family owned and close to a train station and a 7-eleven. \(^u^)/ Everything works well and I really like the air conditioning. The tea set is cute. We also have a fridge, TV and kettle and wardrobe. This place is very easy to find if you follow google maps on your phone. The rooms got cleaned every day and that made me really happy! They really care for the customers a lot and try their best.

The gentleman that runs the ryokan is one of the kindest people I have met. He made sure our stay was perfect. The location is also great as it is such a short walk from a JR station. The ryokan feels like an oasis in the busy city.

The owner is very welcoming and really helpful. The Ryokan is one of the best small Ryokans I have stayed in. There are good facilities in this area and not too busy.

Traditional style room and accessories. Clean and comfortable. The room is big compared to the usual modern hotel rooms and would be more than enough for two sharing. Charming manager / owner who was extremely polite and very helpful. Hotel very close to the station, making this an ideal place to stay. Local shops are varied. 7Eleven literally opposite.

Location was convenient to everything I needed

The front doors would close after a certain time at night, so if you stayed out later, the host would stay up to let you in.. Kind of inconvenient to be honest, but he would graciously stay up to let you in!

Lovely stay! I would definitely recommend it. The host was absolutely wonderful and I enjoyed my time fully there. really Ryokan style beds and rooms.

Very cozy environment and very nicely maintained.

We were expecting a more total experience with meals, tea etc (as extras), but it was room only. As the result the novelty of sleeping on the floor and having no real chairs quickly wore off.

The position was great and in the heart of old Tokyo and the host was nice.
