The amenities (Shiseido Phyto & Rose) were very bourgeoisie and I appreciated having them available in the bathroom and thermal tub room. The hotel also provides robes (for rent), slippers, hair ties, various toiletry items...that's a nice touch. The thermal room could be reserved. The bathrooms & shower rooms are very tiny. Although the hotel was booked, I never had an issue with sharing either because there are two on each floor. We paid for the breakfast option and are glad we did since the hotel is not in a district with a lot of restaurants. Breakfast included European and traditional Japanese options so we tried both.There is a GREAT sushi bar a few blocks away that the staff directed us to on our first night, we HIGHLY recommend it. It's tiny, family-owned and was so delicious. It's a short walk to the subway station.
United States of AmericaStaff were great and a really nice vibe in the communal space over breakfast. Very charming place, perfect for a night of rest after being out all day!
AustraliaThe 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
MalaysiaHad 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 :)
PhilippinesThe staff was so friendly. Breakfast was very good. The location was so close to the Hibiya line it was perfect
United States of AmericaThe breakfast was fantastic! The amenities, including laundry and jacuzzi, were convenient and very enjoyable. All staff members were welcoming, kind, and eager to help. My partner and I felt at home during our stay and were sad to leave!
United States of AmericaThis 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:)
ThailandThe location was great. In a quiet neighborhood in walking distance of a main transportation lines. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The owner is lovely and teaches a number of traditional classes.
United States of AmericaAndon Ryokan is beautiful, the staff are very helpful and friendly and it's an excellent value for your money. The private bath at the top of the property and rooftop patio were excellent extras!
United States of AmericaLoved the jacuzzi, the asthetic, and the location. We were near many shrines and many great restaurants and bars as well!

-
- 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.
