Tokyo is such a busy city so it was very nice to stay in a quiet residential neighborhood. And the hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Ito were wonderful. They made us feel very welcome and comfortable and provided lots of great tips for navigating the city.

The hospitality by the owners stands out right away. You're treated like one of their own. Not to mention the gorgeous garden, great facilities, home cooked breakfast too!

Mokkoan is a quiet and peaceful place to stay. I loved the serene Japanese Garden right outside my balcony door. Yasuhiko and Chieko, my hospitable hosts, took care of my every need starting with a scrumptious breakfast, ride to and from the train station, a comfy room, laundry, and helpful tips for maneuvering big ole Tokyo. I highly recommend this stay for anyone who wants to experience home style accommodations in Japan. Since my hosts have lived abroad and travelled all over the world, it is so interesting to hear their perspectives of life and travel outside of Japan. But most of all, they are also happy to share their culture which they are so proud of. My experience at Mokkoan was enlightening. I learned a lot. I also truly believe that there are nice people all over the world. It was my privilege to have met two of them.👏🏼

Yasuhiko and his wife were the best hosts we could have wished for, they were so friendly and sweet. Yasuhiko picked us up from the train station when we arrived, our suitcase did not arrive and he arranged to receive it for us the day after while we were traveling. An amazing place in a local quiet neighborhood, we loved the area, so nice to wake up and come back at night to such a quiet and cozy place. Japanese house, beautiful and comfortable rooms designed in a traditional Japanese style, gorgeous Japanese garden, great facilities, clean and comfortable. Very tasty fresh made breakfast. Yasuhiko was very kind and offered every morning to take us to the nearest train station even though it was only 10 minutes walk, he gave us everyday lots of useful tips and recommendations in Tokyo. We’d love to stay there again on our next visit to Tokyo.

Mokkoan is very authentic Japanese and beautifully maintained. Wonderfully hospitable hosts!

Excellent place to stay in a quiet residential neighborhood. The owners were so warm, friendly and helpful. Nice traditional room with a beautiful view of the garden. Very clean room and facilities. Stayed 4 nights with my wife and hated to leave. The hotel is very close to the Akabane station; very convenient for shopping, travel and eating. We felt very safe walking to and fro, even at 9 P.M. There is small restuarant nearby ( Vert Vert) which has great food if you didn't feel like going to the station. Mr. Ito will also drive to and fro to the station if you like. So much great food, we frankly walked except for arrival and departure. We miss the owners and their family and will definitely stay there again when in Tokyo. Really cute dog too.

Mr. And Mrs. Ito are the nicest , authentic and friendliest people we met in Japan. The breakfast with the organic orange marmalade is delicious. They even drove us to the train station every morning to catch our sightseeing tours. They are fluent in English too. We had a wonderful experience in their nice hotel. We will stay there again if we go back to Japan . Very clean and has a nice garden ... Very quiet 👌

Mr. Ito and his wife were amazing. Our room was very nice, nothing fancy but comfortable and spacious, the bathroom was very clean. Breakfasts were very nice as well. It's a little far from the hubbub of downtown Tokyo but the train is close and easily accessible. We very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend the place to others.

Wow what an amazing property super close to the metro station.

Friendly staff, clean space, excellent ambiance. Affordable way to experience Japanese living.

Mokkoan is a traditional Japanese house made from very precious wood such as zelkova and Japanese cypress. When I was a child a family of horned owl was living in a tree near the gate. The visitors to this house in the ancient time used to tie their horses to this gate. Mokkoan tries to maintain the same atmosphere as much as possible. Relaxing in a room, tasting a cup of coffee at the window side and overlooking the beautiful garden, you can imagine that you are in a Samurai house. Our most important thought is to be a bridge between people of the world. We truly hope you to find a calm life in the bustle of the Metropolitan Tokyo area.
My husband and I lived in a foreign country for several years. He is still working for an international organization and visiting Europe several times a year. Therefore, we know how difficult it is to live in the foreign country, but we also know how it is wonderful to be a friend with those people who did not know before. This is a major reason why we thought to convert my parents house to a petite hotel. My hobby is to play Paraguayan Harp. When I am in a happy feeling I can enjoy playing music with you. My husband is a great lover of wine. He may join us with his wine bottle when he is also happy.
The evaluation of the town of Akabane is rising these days. The surrounding area of Akabane station is famous for the casual environment and friendly shops. On the other hand the residential area on the hill is very quiet and cozy area where Mokkoan is locating. There are several temples and shrines in the walking distance and the National Training Center for the Olympic Athletes is also near. The area is comfortable for take a walk in the morning. If you take JR train it is very convenient to visit UENO, ASAKUSA, GINZA and other known sightseeing areas. Those are all in within 30 minutes distance from near by stations, Akabane and other Metro stations.
