This is a modern but still Japanese style accommodation. Sleep on the floor but with the comfort of an en suite. Breakfast is nice, cheaper continental option (toast, tea/coffee, juice) or hot breakfast with eggs. Hotel is immaculately kept. 3 minute walk to Sendagi station on the subway line, 7 minute walk to Nippori on The JR Yamanote line. The... More

This place is fantastic. It is hard to believe it exists in a bustling place like Tokyo! You can walk to the ryokan from Sendagai and Nippori stations - very handy having two different lines to choose from. The street outside is so sleepy and old-style. It is only open to cars for part of the day. Close to all... More

Our family of four stayed here for six nights. It was very convenient to subway and JR yamonte line. Very quiet at night and exceptionally clean. There were plenty of restaurants and shops around so we ate different food every night. It is an easy walk from the NIppori station even with two small children and all our luggage. We... More

We stayed here for 7 days/6 night over Thanksgiving week. We chose this inn in Yanaka because we wanted something different from our last hotel in downtown Tokyo, and we love it! We especially love the wonderful and meandering side streets and quaint neighborhoods, the temples big and small, the cafes, restaurants, gift shops. The subway stop is a straight... More

This hotel, actually a Japanese ryokan (mattresses on the floor), is a 10 minute walk from the Nippori Station which is on the Tokyo Loop and the JR Yamanote line as well as a direct stop from the Narita Airport and two stops from Ueno Park. This part of Nippori is a step back in time with wonderful little local... More

I picked this place because it was a ryokan and in an old Tokyo neighborhood. I stayed five nights in a large (the larger of two options) Japanese-style room and private bath. The owner was very helpful with directions and recommendations. Best of all was the neighborhood of Yanaka, a regular place thought very near the somewhat touristy Ginza Yanaka... More

I think I found this place through TripAdvisor and then did my research on the internet about what it was. I wanted to start my trip in a not very touristy area and this place in Yanaka was perfect. My room originally seemed small, but had plenty of space for myself (plus it had a private bathroom). What's more important... More

We split our stay in Tokyo into two halves. The first was spent in the Tokyo Hilton and the second half we moved into the suburbs of Yanaka for a more traditional Ryokan experience. As some reviews have noted the Ryokan Katsutaro Annex is not so traditional, its a hybrid with private bathrooms. We didn't mind that at all, and... More

This was a great place to stay in the megalopolis that is Tokyo. The Yanaka neighborhood is quiet, but very close to subway and JR lines, including Ueno station. The ryokan proprietors were very courteous. The rooms are great for those who like traditional tatami. There are English-language maps and other materials, computer/wifi, and laundry facilities on site. We plan... More
