We loved everything. The owners were exceptionally welcoming, we had a feeling that we came to visit our relatives. Our host helped us with arrival and departure to and from the Akabane station. So we didn’t have to walk with suitcases. Although the station isn’t too far away, walkable distance through quiet neighborhood, and from Akabane station to central Tokyo it takes about half an hour. For our accommodations we seek out a few things- good WiFi, cleanliness, private bathroom and Air Conditioning. Every point was met at Mokkoan. The beauty of Japanese garden view from our room made us almost not wanting to leave said room. Consider yourself very fortunate if you managed to get an accommodation at Mokkoan. We hope to visit Japan in the future and if possible come back to this beautiful place again.

Warm treating. Rare and valuable Japanese-style homestay. Though it is a bit far from the station, the host will pick us up in person and the environment around is tranquil.

No. Besides making me miss the place so much and want to go back there again.

Beautiful garden surrounding comfortable home with lovely traditional features. Friendly and helpful hosts with lots of wonderful local knowledge.

We had a huge room with en suite bathroom which for Tokyo is an enormous luzury. Its a haven of peace and quiet from the buzz of the big city. The garden is also very tranquil.

It is a little further out that we rhought but once we got used to the trains it didnt matter so much.

Yasuhiko-san and his wife are lovely people, the property is gorgeous and comfortable and the garden is magnificent..

It's a bit far from the train station, but that is pretty much a non issue as every time we went Yasuhiko-san drove us to the station.

The owner (and his family) was very friendly. He sent us good instructions how to get from the airport to Akabane station where he picked us up by car. The rooms were very spacious, clean and very well equipped. Breakfast was western style and freshly prepared with fruit, bread, coffee, tea, eggs etc. We learned a lot about Japan's history during our short visit and had great conservations during breakfast. Ito-san speaks English very well and he and his wife made a perfect first impression to our holidays.

The peaceful garden, tranquil room, and friendly owners/staff, and also Keita-chan the little doggo. I would not mind spending a week here quietly enjoying the surroundings. The room was beautiful and cozy, but spacious and comfortable. Traditional and solid. Mr. Ito, his wife, and his staff were very friendly and helpful. We were offered a ride from the airport but sadly, we accidentally missed that.

Not much to do nearby, but actually there is a wonderful wonderful restaurant within a 1 minute walk, the likes of which you can not find elsewhere! A restaurant of similar quality anywhere else would be easily 4-5x the price and would be crowded. There is also a nice park, and is nice if you prefer quiet.

I really liked everything (and I mean everything) about this place (or should I say home!). From their going out of the way to do things for you, to their amazing furry baby (k chan), there's nothing you can't love about this place. The neighbourhood is really peaceful to stay at and the house is maintained really well - we got a glimpse of the traditional way of life in Japan. P.S. I'm vegan and they were super accommodating for the breakfast and even prepared soy milk for me - so do let them know in advance if you have any dietary restrictions and you can expect this to be taken care of :)

The only thing I don't like is the fact that I can't stay there longer! :( definitely coming back!

Mokkoan is an incredible hotel, run by the loveliest owners. Thank you Yasuhiko san, Chieko san, and Yuki san for your care - we loved our chats in the hallway and over breakfast with K-chan (the toy poodle), the orange marmalade made from the garden, and every part of our time here! The property is located in a quiet and safe neighbourhood, and the garden and rooms are very well taken care of. Staying at Mokkoan feels like staying in a thoughtful, peaceful oasis in Tokyo and it has left a lasting impression on me. In leaving Tokyo, I knew I would definitely miss Mokkoan and hope to have the luck to return. If you visit, please treat the owners + staff kindly, as they truly make this place standout :)

What can i say that has not been said already about this lovely place . The owners and their assistant are extremely hospitable. They have picked us up and dropped us off various times from the nearby station. They offered tons of advice and insight when we were making decisions on what to do and we loved all the suggestions and would never have thought to go to on our own. The morning view from the room makes you feel as though youre in the middle of nature. I slept better here than anywhere inn4 weeks in Japan. The futons are almost like mattresses but so so comfy and loved the pillow. I actually travel with a pillow but ended up using theirs. When we came home after a long day they would turn on the heat for us and completely freshen up the room changing our pajamas and towels and making the bed cozy. Yuki even noticed we had paper cups for our wine and left us normal wine glasses in the room each day - very thoughtful and noticed. They give you all amenities needed as well. The station area has so many cute restaurants and all the services its only a 12/13 min walk there as well . There is also a convenience store at 3 min away open 24 hours. K Chan the sweetest puppy was waiting everyday when we came for breakfast which owners have provided kindly daily. I was really sad to be leaving and very happy to have been able to stay and meet such lovely kind people
