This is a fantastic traditional inn. The staff were kind and the room was perfect. Easy walk to the train to get to all sightseeing attractions and the Shinkansen when it was time to leave for Kyoto. Great value!

“Reasonable ryokan near Ueno”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 7 nights
Building looks somewhat more dated and rundown that photos make appear. Try seeing a streetview photo and you'll find out. Inside the space is tight, but ok. I stayed in the first floor. There is a single shared toilet and a single shower for the whole place, so it was quite busy at times (especially in the mornings). The door was locked after 22:00 and you were provided with a code. However, one night someone at the ryokan locked the door from the inside (using a deadbolt?), and even by giving the correct code one could not open the door. Fortunately, someone else was able to open it for me after a short wait, but this should not happen.
Good value, reasonable location (about 1 km walk from Ueno, Nezu metro closer but not as convenient).

The microwave was located downstairs.
Easy to access the family member. The staff carried our suitcases upstairs. The owner helped us to get a taxi outside the Ryokan although it was very hot. Our room was near the toilet and the shower room. The shower room is fantastic -- very spacious. The laundry machine & dryer.

Especially for Japanese standards, it was less clean than we'd expected. There were some mildewy spots on the shower door. It was all a bit dated. There is no view whatsoever, better not even look!
The location is very convenient for airport travel. Close to park and zoo. Quiet street. The people were very nice. Bedding clean and plenty of space.

I love this ryokan, mainly because I came in 1994 and had a great stay. I was pleased to find it much the same apart from air con and more modern toilet. It really makes you feel like you're in real Japan and I'm sure it's the same owners, they are lovely and stored our luggage for weeks. The futon is really comfy. Thank you for keeping original.
