Japanese breakfast was outstanding. Staff was super helpful and friendly.
United States of AmericaStaff go above and beyond to help your stay be the best it can be
United States of AmericaThe staff were really friendly and went out of their way to talk with us about Japanese culture. We had breakfast at the inn each morning, and they cooked a lot of traditional New Years foods (we were there in early January) and told us about the significance and traditions surrounding the holiday. They went above and beyond to make sure we were confortable and had lots of suggestions of where to go during the day and good places to shop in the neighborhood. The inn was traditional Japanese style with futon beds, clean, and overall a nice refuge from the bustle of Tokyo but centrally located to access many of the sights.
United States of AmericaThe place is cozy and clean, the staff is very kind and the breakfast is delicious. We had a great time at Ito Ryokan! 100% recommended.
MexicoThe stuff was super friendly and they made accommodated my vegan breakfast 💚
United States of AmericaThe place was really clean and quiet. Loved the traditional tatami room and comfy futon. Breakfast was delicious and homy. I was traveling alone and got sick the first day arriving Tokyo. The staffs were all friendly and helpful. They took really good care of me. Really appreciate them! I was lucky to stay with them and they helped me so much to go through my sickness.
United States of AmericaStuff is super friendly. Everyone speaks English. Great value overall
Hong KongI was there during the typhoon and the staff, especially Chikako, made the stay a joy by extending my stay, making dinner as all the restaurants were closed, and making it the best night I spent in Tokyo!
United States of AmericaThe staff was lovely, the room felt very traditional and uniquely Japanese, and the breakfast was excellent.
JapanThe staff were all so friendly and helpful! Chikako was so kind! She showed me to my room, showed me all the amenities, and how to lay out the futon! They made everything easy and even provided maps of restraunts and shops in the area! The futon was comfortable and the japanese breakfast was delicious! The shared bathrooms and showers were always sparkling clean. I would absoloutely stay at Ito Ryokan again!

-
- 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.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.
