My friends and I were searching for a ryokan to stay and found this gem in the middle of Ueno. It's located in a suburban part of town where there are not too many people wandering about. There are two subway stops in the area so it is easy to get around the city. The inside is surprisingly traditional, as... More

We always stay here with school groups. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We have never had a bad experience at this ryokan. It is in a great location from Tokyo station, take the subway and get off at Hongo San Chome. The Homeikan is a 10 min walk from the station, but be careful there are two exits.... More

The place is not that easy to find, hidden in a neighbourhood of small houses, but once you get there, what a delight! I stayed in the Daimichi Bekkan building, a beautiful, old wooden structure with a delightful garden. My room was equally atmospheric. Very friendly welcome, and the simple Japanese breakfast was good. The only potential drawback is noise... More

We stayed here to experience what a traditional ryokan is like and we definitely felt we got that. The rooms are really traditional and the entire place feels authentic. It is not very easy to find but it is only 7 minutes from the station so once you find your way it isn't too bad. We had to find it... More

We stayed there for some days and not only the place is highly recommended but also the staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. When we arrived we got lost and we called from a pay phone in the street and someone came to look for us and took us there in his van. The place is really quiet at night,... More

This is a traditional ryokan, built of wood and stone. Great care has gone into the placement of stones, the shape of wood, the welcome offered the guest. The garden is gorgeous. The rooms vary, but all have tatami mats. As you'd expect, you take your shoes off at the door. The staff is helpful - some have more English... More

I stayed here as a female alone and I felt happy and safe the whole time. It was a bit of a difficult place to find, after walking up a massive hill with my 20kg suitcase I finally found it (by chance!). Turn right at the dry cleaners then walk up the hill opposite the mochi shop and its straight... More

My family of 5, 3 boys 14, 8 and 5 loved the huge room. Wonderful old world feel in the heart of Tokyo. From nearby Kasunga Station we could get everywhere. Ueno, Asakusa, Harajuku, Tsukiji were all within easy reach. The boys got a little tired one night and we got takeouts within 5 minutes walk from the ryokan. The... More
