The Ryokan is extremely nice, it is really exciting to found a Traditional Japanese ryokan with private bathrooms in Tokyo. We lived in Kiku room, where some are renovated with modernized washrooms but those that are not are still very clean and useable. The location is just so convenient, close to the temple, shopping districts, Skytree and the Asakusa Line metro. You can see landmarks through your room or just the public bath upstairs. The management and service are superb, the staffs are English friendly and extremely respectful and helpful. It is also relatively cost efficient consider what you are getting. It is really the highlight of our trip, and I will recommend any if you want to stay near Asakusa.

My flight got delayed and I had to inform them impromptu, regardless, they got back to me immediately and were very friendly. Additionally, the check-in was closed two hours prior to my arrival and the staffs were very accommodating and also provided direction instructions that I did not request. The service and location is excellent with many nearby convenience stores and is a short walk to the river.

10/10 would recommend, I booked via booking.com and there were no issues. Would love to come again for my next trip.

A one of a kind experience. This ryokan is in the center of Asakusa near Sensoji Temple, just off of a side street. The staff will treat you with respect and kindness and will do everything they can to assist you and make you feel comfortable. A big thank you to Yassu and all the rest of the staff. When my luggage suddenly broke, they were there to assist with disposal for a small fee while we purchased a new one at Ginza Karen down the road. We will be back. Thank you for the incredible hospitality.

Amazing Ryokan in the heart of Asakusa! Right across from the temple, but quiet in the late afternoon and evenings. Very quaint and lovely area, would love to stay again!

Great place- great location but really quiet rooms.
The Japanese-style suite is amazing: well equipped, nicely decorated with a very convenient bathroom.
I highly recommend to anyone searching for a ryokan in Tokyo.
I wanted to address a warm thank you to the entire staff : everyone is so polite and so helpful. どうもありがとう
