It is more than anything for a Japanese house but we thought the price was excessive considering that the bathroom is shared and that for the same price we have hotels with private bathrooms and better conditions.It's a hostel.

Our stay went very, very well! The owners were lovely to us and the quality of their services is impeccable.We had booked a single room for a week. It was clean, the towels were changed every day, the shared shower is big enough.Small bonus, for around €3, it is possible to wash and dry your laundry, which is very useful if you are on a long trip.Really, this ryokan was great!

This rather modest ryokan is not cheap but very well located 5 minutes walk from Nezu metro station and 15 minutes from Ueno station through the park. the owners are indeed very nice but we were very surprised to have to pay 3 euros for the use of the washing machine. we had a (the?) bedroom upstairs with a mini Japanese living room and private bathroom. nothing to say from this point of view, except that the air conditioning blows directly on the head of the bed but it is easy to reverse. the bathroom is logically small but very good, with very good pressure. To recommend without problem therefore, because the accommodation is quite practical and of high quality.

Overall, this was a fairly-priced sharehouse-like stay in a decent location.The staff were always kind and helpful, and the check-in/check-out process were quick and easy. I saw that guests were allowed to drop off luggage early before check-in, and even to store luggage here after check-out if they were leaving Tokyo later in the day, though I didn't use either of these services myself.The room was comfortable but minimal (as one expects in Tokyo). Most importantly the futon and blanket were quite comfortable, and the table, shelving, and coat rack were adequate for my needs. There was a small TV which I didn't use. In addition to a standard Japanese AC/heater unit, the window could be fully opened for temperature control. I was in the ground-floor room next to the door, so guests using the loud after-hours door lock keypad were slightly annoying, and guests checking out in the neighboring hallway made it difficult to sleep past ~08:30 AM.The shower room, toilet room, and fridge are all shared, and there's only one of each like in a sharehouse, which isn't necessarily suitable for everyone. Using shared facilities outside normal waking hours can cause noise issues for others. The coin-laundry washing machine was unfortunately broken during the week I stayed here, but just a 5-minute walk away there's a nice laundromat with combination washer-dryer machines and an online machine status dashboard.The location has its pros and cons. On the plus side, it's a very short walk to Ueno Park, which includes must-see attractions like the Tokyo National Museum. And there's a decent selection of restaurants and shops in the surrounding Nezu area, not to mention the Nezu subway station. However, it's a 15-20 minute walk to the much better-connected Ueno Stations (both JR and subway - don't get them confused!), or 20-25 minutes if you're carrying luggage and/or choose to only walk along roads (instead of going partially through the park).I'd consider staying here again as long as I don't have too much luggage and my schedule isn't packed.

beautiful cosy ryokan! we booked the room with private toilet and bath, and it was so spacious for us, especially since rooms in japan tend to be small. the room and ryokan was very clean. the owners are very kind and hospitable, everything went smoothly. i am so thankful and would love to stay again if i am back in tokyo!!!! the only thing to note is that the walls are thin so small sounds from next rooms can be heard, but i think that it is very normal and didnt bother us! the ryokan also had a coin washing machine and free dryer for use, so it was very convenient. the owners are so kind, they helped us to store our luggage before and after checking in/out as well. thank you!!

We really liked this place as the room was very cosy and it was not badly located. Best thing was the discovery of a traditional hot baths just down the road. And if you are looking for Indian food the Khana Pina Indian restaurant run by Nepalese is not far away.
