Great ryokan in laid back traditional area
We stayed two nights during the Typhon Hagibis period. The ryokan is well located near the Nezu rail station, the Ueno park and rail station and most especially the Yanaka area which is so interesting to wander around to see the older more traditional style of life in Tokyo. The ryokan room was immaculate and very large compared to other ryokan. The traditional breakfast served in a private dining space crammed with objects of art was a treat not to be missed. Owners were very helpful while unobtrusive. Will stay there again one day. t

Greeted with a friendly welcome at this typical Ryokan. Loved the room and it's simplicity, perhaps not being able to hear the guy snoring next door! A great place to da stay and close to ueno park.

Away from busy areas into interesting quieter area
This small ryokan is about 7 minutes to Nezu Metro and a 20 minute walk to Ueno JR station through Ueno Park Good coffee shops on the way to both stations. Helpful staff who would answer questions. Had the breakfast one day 1650 yen but excellent, very beautiful and an experience. Very interesting area after busy Tokyo Station area, lots of temples. Close to museums. Excellent Italian restaurant Bar Osteria near by. Other restaurants close.

Our best sleep in Japan.
5 perfect days. Quiet, classic and very Japanese! Excellent service and very clean and the best goose down duvet I have ever slept with. The hotel is a little worn but everything works. The breakfast is extensive and served in private rooms. The Location is perfect for Tokyo sightseeing and they have an nice Chinese/Japanese restaurant. I would come back any time.

Great ryokan in a residential neighborhood
We loved this ryokan. It wasn't upscale but it was very affordable and provided a great introduction to traditional Japanese hotels. Our room had a private bathroom which as I understand is not very common in ryokans. Everything was clean, the futons and bedding were comfortable. The room had a fridge and was provided with coffee, tea and bottled water. It was a 5-10 minute walk from the Nezu subway station. It took us a few extra minutes to find it at first. Look for the hotel sign pictured at the photo attached to my review. There were some nice restaurants in that area. I recommend Kamachiku for tasty udon - it's a few minutes walk from the hotel. The wifi wasn't usable when we tried but this has been my experience in the other Tokyo hotel too, so I wasn't really expecting it to work. We didn't pay for any of the food options, so I can't comment on that aspect.

Klein und sehr persönlich. Alles vorhanden, was man sich unter einem typischen Ryokan vorstellt. Dazu geört ein großartiges chinesisches Restaurant. Frühstück ist unbedingt zu empfehlen, ebenso eine Vorabreservierung für ein abendliches Dinner. Gelegen im für mich.raditionellsten,typischstenTeil von Tokyo, genannt Yanaka, der zum Bummeln zu Tempeln, kleinen hübschen Geschäften und Cafès/Restaurants einlädt. Nicht weit entfernt von JR Ueno und einer Metrostation.

Estupendo ryokan
Nos gustó mucho este ryokan. Limpieza impecable. Amabilísimos. Muy buen futón. A dos minutos de metro en barrio muy tranquilo y antiguo. Tened en cuenta al reservar que el desayuno no es continental, por si queréis probar. Muy recomendable.

Personnel très accueillant et serviable au point de nous avoir raccompagné à la gare de Ueno spontanément sans rien demander en échange. Lieu calme et reposant. Le petit déjeuner traditionnel très bon et très copieux, servi dans une pièce isolée et joliment décorée. Cependant, certains éléments souffrent du temps qui passe.
