to get started.

The Japanese breakfast is wonderful, free tea and coffee all day, and of course, the private bath can be booked in 40 minute slots late afternoon, evening and morning. Make sure you use it!

Emily, United Kingdom

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was made fresh each morning and very delicious. And the Ryokan is only a few bus stops from Asakusa away. (It just takes longer when you want to go somewhere else xD) I can definitely recommend this Ryokan and for my next trip I will definitely choose it again!

Melanie, Germany

Quiet neighborhood, not too far out, either. Very convenient, all necessities are provided. Nice breakfast by the looks of it, did not get up early enough to order myself.

The place is really cute with clever design touches and helpful employees who care about creating an enjoyable experience. The breakfast was nice and the shared bath and roof deck were all a plus.

This property is a ryokan, which is a type of traditional Japanese Inn. Learn more

What is a ryokan?

A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature public baths, multi-course dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travellers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation in therapeutic mineral springs.
What are the major differences between a ryokan and a hotel?

Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is simply a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just an accommodation place to sleep. In Japan, many travellers journey long distances solely for the purpose of relaxing in a hot spring bath and feasting on a traditional multi-course dinner – thus making staying at a ryokan an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon beds, instead of Western beds and carpeting. In addition, you remove your shoes at the entrance of the accommodation, or before you enter the room. Modern ryokan may serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while a more traditional ryokan serves in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms may come with a private bathroom, while others will only have a shared public bathroom.
What is a kaiseki meal?

Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodied in beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Each of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multi-course Japanese dinner is prepared in such a way that highlights the unique textures, colours, and flavours of the featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Served most commonly at special restaurants and ryokan, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-sized appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
What is a yukata?

Yukata is a casual summer kimono typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans offer guests yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it is common to see guests strolling through the neighbourhood in their yukata. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for relaxing and sleeping in.
How to wear a yukata

First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a shirt. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is levelled at your ankle. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
What is a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?

Onsen (literally ‘hot spring’) is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
Bathing procedures and etiquette

At a public bath – onsen or not – guests are expected to shed all their clothes in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you must not put towels in the water.
Why are tattoos not allowed?

While tattoos have become more popular among the youth of Japan, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you may still be refused admission to public baths and swimming pools. Small tattoos may be covered up using waterproof plasters, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.0 for a two-person trip.

Rooms are very simple and small, with (very nice) shared bathrooms, hence why this place is so cheap. But I've stayed here twice and always feel at home. Staff are lovely. So if you don't mind a small room, and you're happy to be quiet (walls are thin) it's a really good choice!

“Great design, great employees but get a room on level 2 or 3”
- • Leisure trip

The area is quite dead, not easy to find places to eat or drink; although, not too far from the subway. The only issue I had was our room was on the ground floor which is where check in and out and breakfast are served. I would say we had one of the worst rooms in the place, the noise made it impossible to sleep past 6:30 when they arrive to begin breakfast preparations. I would stay again, but would be sure to request a room on level 2 or 3. I also noticed our room was much smaller than the others.
