to get started.

The most accomadating hosts, homemade breakfast is excellent. Amids natural disasters they take the time to make warm dinner for the guests, complimentary. It is the quitissential Japanese hospitality. From leaving the hotel and coming back you seriously, no joke, feels like family part of the family who runs the building. It's also a contemporary family oriented style of hospitality. Not your usual high-class or high-end experiances

Had a lovely peaceful morning sipping espresso on their rooftop. Very cool way to view the area. The building is artsy and interesting, plus modern and clean. There's an onsen on the 5th floor that you can book for private 40 minute sessions, it has bubbles! And the staff were kind and accommodating :)

This small ryokan hotel was delightful. The staff were kind and helpful, the Japanese breakfast was delicious, it was quirkily decorated with traditional artifacts (the jacuzzi room is gorgeous) and the room, although simple, was comfortable and clean. I was able to buy a 2 day train pass at reception and they were also able to sell tickets to public baths in the area. I went to one and loved it. It was a completely authentic experience, not least the rotating wheel back massage chair:)

Very clean, very authentic friendly place located in a quiet neighborhood. walking distance to the subway and JR lines, to Akasuka and Senso-Ji temple. Lots breakfast options even for vegans, good coffee... quiet time after 10. The host family was extremely friendly and helpful. we stayed at the beginning and at the end of our trip and it was perfect.

This is in a good location if you are exploring around asasuka. The owners and staff are friendly. Simple basic room and shared washroom is small but good value for money if you just need a space to sleep for a night or two. Bathroom is very tight so for bigger sized person this might be uncomfortable. They serve great coffee! Japanese breakfast is only 100 yen more so would highly recommend it!

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

What's a ryokan?

A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse 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 travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?

Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
What's a kaiseki meal?

Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
What's a yukata?

A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
How should I wear a yukata?

First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. 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 level at your ankles. 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's 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.
What's standard bathing etiquette?

At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing 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 should not put towels in the water.
Why are tattoos not allowed?

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

The staff at Andon Ryokan are amazing! They are always happy to go above and beyond to help their guests. The cultural events are also a great idea. (Tip: If you want to take part in a tea ceremony, make sure to stay here on Monday) The ryokan itself is close to attractions such as Ueno park and Senso ji shrine. If you want to go to the center of town, the metro station is a five minute walk away. I will definitely stay at Andon Ryokan the next time I'm in Tokyo!
