    Nice large room (for Tokyo!), everything laid out neatly and working. Great little drinks area on the ground floor (free tea, coffee, snacks, etc.). The receptionist was most helpful in researching questions I asked him about train timetables, luggage storage, etc. Couldn't have asked for a better place to start my trip in Japan!

    Quaint comfortable accommodation in a quite residential neighborhood. Close distance to points of interest, yet far away enough from all the hustle and bustle. Friendly staff. Walking distance to Kappabashi St., Senso-ji, JR and Metro stations.

    The view out of the window is basically the wall of the neighbour building.

    Traditional Japanese style room in urban Tokyo, with very cozy and comfortable tatami and futon! The hotel is located in an interesting district to explore.

    The reception closes after 23 and just one of the guys speaks English.

    The location is very convenient — close to a well-connected train station and in a nice neighborhood with beautiful temples, great restaurants, and convenience stores. The room is cozy and worked well for a short stay.

    I stayed there for a single night. The staff was very nice and polite. The tatami room was lovely, with all the essentials there. Very clean, the bathroom too. The futon was very comfy. On the ground floor there is an eating area free to use. It is not placed on the main street, so the area was quiet. Shops very close, a few minutes away by foot and the area is worth visiting, Senso Ji is not too far and you can also see Sky Tree. Loved it, would stay there again

    Bathroom is a bit cramped up but that might be linked with me being 6'5

    Some will say it's not centrally located because it is in Taito and most people prefer to be near Shinjuku but it is actually a great location, with a calm environment. Iriya station is 8 mins away on foot, Tokyo National Museum is a short walk. The room is great

    Cleanliness could be better but it was totally acceptable considering the price.

    Grocery and convenience stores were very close by. Train stations and restaurants were within walking distance. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood.

    There are no metro stations close by so it’s always a bit of a walk.

    Pretty nice location close to Asakusa. No frills traditional Japanese room that was surprisingly large. Very affordable price for Tokyo with just about 50 euros per night.

    The location was... not super close to a train station or the most interesting places, but it wasn't awfully far either. By the end of the trip, I was much more careful about proximity to train stations, but by the end I was also doing more shopping and access to stations that could get me to various places in the city was more important. Restaurants are not super close to this location, but it is in between a few different things I wanted to see early in my trip.

    This was the first place I stayed in Japan. Outside of Tokyo, I did stay in Ryokan, but my other Tokyo stays at this price point were either in traveler hotels or apartments (via Booking). The (single person) communal bath (that's the larger metal bath shown in the pictures) was excellent given the location and was much appreciated after a long day of walking. The amenities are a bit bare bones but that's the price point. I would really have liked to end my trip with a place with this type of bath.

    Didn’t get the proper Ryokan experience. There were no tatami mats in my (personal bathroom) room.

    I almost couldn’t believe there were still ryokan’s that existed in Tokyo.

    Thin doorsand ambient traffic and city noises if window is open.

    Decent location, lovely communal, but private onsen. Comfortable, traditional sleeping arrangements. Clean rooms, climate control and small TV provided. Communal lounge with tea service. Be prepared to leave your shoes in a locker at the lobby. Will stay again.

    Wish we could have stayed longer here and in Tokyo

    I'm a white, Italian American from New York City, and so I claim no expertise in Japanese culture and custom, but I do have a deep respect and admiration. We were looking for the experience of staying in a traditional ryokan, and this one is perfectly nestled between Ueno and Asakusa, so this was just perfect.

    Quite spacious comparing to the other hotel rooms in Japan. Totally worth the money. The location is somewhat good. Around 10-15min walk to subway station depends on your walking pace. The street is quiet and safe. I would definitely book again if I ever visit Tokyo in the future.
