Check in was easy and friendly. The room is nice and good for a family to sleep in. Beds are comfortable. We had a shared bathroom and loo and it was fine.

Noisy neighbours talking loudly until late who had no idea of common courtesy and thin walls in an old Japanese Ryokan.

This was a nice place to stay, especially if you enjoy a traditional ryokan. The futons were comfortable, and the staff were friendly. The location was perfect for us - close to Ueno Park and the train station, and near Nezu metro station. It's in a quiet residential neighborhood that's fun to explore. It was an enjoyable place to spend a week in Tokyo, and I'd definitely stay there again!

The walls are very thin, so you can hear everything your neighbors say and do (and they can hear you). But that's just the way the building is made, so bring earplugs, and you'll be fine!

Loved the traditional layout and amenities of our room. Loved the location, in a quiet neighborhood, within a 20-minute walk from Ueno Park and Ueno Train Station. Our room was spotless and very comfortable. The proprietor of the Ryokan was so friendly and helpful. We absolutely enjoyed our 4 nights there and would stay again next time we are in Tokyo!

We loved everything, but the traditional style of the room might not suit everyone. There are steep and narrow stairs leading from the ground floor to the 2nd floor, as in many traditional Japanese townhouses. This did not bother us a bit but might be a problem for less able people. There was nothing that we didn’t like!

We really liked the size of the room and each room had their own air conditioner and enough space for luggage. We shared bathroom facilities but it was never crowded. The futons were comfortable and we had clean towels and yukatas for use. The host and his mother are so very gracious and very quick to assist with any questions even though they are a little limited in English. They provided water, ice, garbage bags, and umbrellas, and there is a microwave and toaster oven and shared refrigerator. Close to enough to two train stations to get around conveniently.

The stairs are steep and narrow. Can use some updated travel info materials.

The owner was extremely lovley. Let us check in early and helped me out as I was sick It was super clean and very quiet. It is definitely value for money if you don't need any of the extras like amenity supplies etc. They had an adapter so I could plug my phone to charge via usb

There is only 1 toilet and shower between all the rooms, which was fine as the property wasn't fully booked I don't believe. It is a fair walk in to Ueno train station and market area. About 1.5 km which is fine if u don't have much luggage or your a fit walker. With my 9 year old son it was a little tricky as he got tired from walking all day exploring the city then have to walk that extra time to home. There arre no restaurants around the place either you have to walk into the city centre

Very accommodating family run ryokan/inn in the quieter part of the city, we arrived early at 9.15am, able to wait after getting some snacks from a convenient store in front of the inn, able to check in at 11am, traditional interior, like a home, summer in Tokyo is hot and rainy unlike the UK, it’s cold and rainy, so there is a fridge to keep your dairy etc, easy access to subway- Ueno & Nezu and Keisei Skyliner station, 2 kids and I managed to pull our 3 suitcases, 1 cabin bag & carry 2 rucksacks from the inn for 15 minutes, I paid about £40/8000yen for a big car I booked from NearMe from Haneda Airport (15 miles away) and paid £33 (a voucher I bought from Klook) to go to Narita Airport by Skyliner train (65 miles away). All in all a brilliant experience! Would go back as we plan to do another stopover in Tokyo!

Nothing

A well priced ryokan in a great location near ueno Park, and within 5 minutes of a metro. The rooms are traditional and comfortable, and it is a great base to explore Tokyo. The owner is the best - friendly, helpful, and just such a kind man.

It is no frills. It has all the necessities, but obviously it is not a luxury location. However, the bed is super comfy, the rooms are traditional and neat, and it really is just a wonderful place.

The family running the Ryokan were very friendly and allowed us to check-in early. They helped by carrying our bags upstairs. The room was as expected with tatami floors, a small area to drink tea/ eat and bed on the floor. Small ensuite which was suitable. This was a different type of stay where we didn't use a tv and it was more simple/ traditional type stay. Everything was well presented and we enjoyed this one night stay. Central to one of the main stops on the circle train in Tokyo.

As this was more traditional stay, the walls were thin and you had others close by so we felt we were always too noisy when we woke up early to get ready for our days. Nothing we didn't like, just something to keep in mind.

very quiet and super clean. room was super spacious and comfortable to stay in. staff were super friendly and helpful, they helped us to take care of our luggages before and after the check in and check out timings which really helped a lot. the room is super clean and the bed is comfortable as there is double layers for the futon, as compared to other ryokans we stayed in in japan. the toilet is clean and comfortable and the heater for the room is very good. although the walls are thin and you can hear sounds from your neighbours like footsteps, i think it is very acceptable for ryokans. it did not bother me too much. i would love to stay here again if i revisit tokyo. the neighbourhood is quiet and peaceful while still near enough to amenities. thank you so much!

Communication from the owners was clear and timely and they were very welcoming. We are a family of 4 with no Japanese and found them really friendly, especially to the kids. The Ryokan makes clever use of all available space - there was a communal fridge, washing machine and dryer and laundry sink. Our room easily accommodated the 4 of us and the thick futons were very comfortable. The towels were replaced every day and the bathroom cleaned. The location is excellent - walking distance to the metro and JR lines. There are many restaurants in easy walking distance. Mini marts are near the stations and there is also a little shop directly over the road. The ryokan had good curtains and was in a quite location, so we slept well. I would happily stay here again and recommend it.
