Arrived at this Ryokan midnight, clear instructions on their website and email support. Great price for a Ryokan experience and even better location for sightseeing in Central Tokyo. Free WIFI! Pajamas and towel provided, toiletries free to use. Clean shared bathrooms.

Our first day in Japan, after a 36 hour trip, the instructions for getting to Kimi were spot on, the reception friendly and informative, and it was so quiet even at supper hour, that we were able to rest before going out for a meal. I was especially impressed with the courtesy and respect of all guests for one another... More

The location is great, near malls, train station (ikebukuro station, it's one of the biggest station in tokyo that connects to other lines and stations) near convenience stores (lawson, family mart, 7/11.) Near restaurants (japanese and american) coffee shops etc.. At first kimi is a liitle bit hard to find, but once you found the place you will never be... More

My sister and I stayed at Kimi Ryokan for 5 nights in late March/early April 2013. Overall the service was fantastic. Prior to our arrival, email communication was always prompt and helpful. We arrived well before check-in, but they agreed to hold our bags at the ryokan until we came back later within the check-in time. They were always willing... More

My wife and I stayed here for the first few nights of our trip and couldn't have had a more comfortable introduction to the city. Conveniently close to a major metro hub and with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The staff are excellent - faultlessly polite and all English-speaking. Free WiFi and comfortable rooms as well as a pleasant... More

As someone who doesn't like to spend big bucks on accommodations, but doesn't like to stay in a sh!thole either, I found Kimi Ryokan to be a perfect place to stay in Tokyo. The location is fantastic. Ikebukuro is a great neighborhood with plenty of restaurants, both Japanese for those looking to eat locally, and old US standbys kfc, Mcd's... More

Kimi was our first port of call in Japan in Feb 2013. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay! The staff were fantastic in helping us navigate Tokyo and all of it's delights. We were even fortunate enough to be able to watch the owner, Minato-san, perform ikebanado during our stay. To sum up the level of care we experienced; we... More

We loved Kimi Ryokan. Staff are very friendly and helpful, all facilities are clean and well kept. Touches like the heated floor at the low table in the lounge, the devine cypress bath and our most comfortable (but smallest) Japanese style room all add up to making it highly recommended. Ikebukuro is a great base area too- on the Yamonote... More

We stayed there for 3 nights and it was a nice Japanese guest house. It is well-located. There are plenty of cheap and good restaurants around the area. My room is R102, it is very small and simple but clean. Staff is a plus, very helpful.

Kimi Ryokan caters to foreign visitors. It is close to the Ikebukuro commuter station, shopping, and restaurants. Hard to find! Take a map. English spoken. Spartan, clean, comfortable. A real bargain for Tokyo. Have stayed there several times.
