Located in a quiet part of Yanaka away from the noise of the rest of Tokyo, but close to both Sendagi and Nippori Stations which made it very easy to get wherever I wanted to go fairly quickly.
Not much at all, really. I guess the water pressure in the shower could be a little more powerful? But basically everything about the place was wonderful and I'd stay here again.

Amazing! The couple who runs the place are incredibly nice and helpful. There were plenty of extra towels, and they offered free bag storage as well. The place was really clean and comfortable, and it's a great yanaka location close to the subway. Thanks so much!

The location is great. The place is quiet and well-kept. There is a 7/11 right across the street and a lot of coffee shops and restaurants in proximity as well. There are two major subway stations down the street with Sendagi station getting you right into the heart of Tokyo in a few moments. The Keisei Skyliner stops right at Ueno-Nippori station which was very convenient. I also liked how I could walk 15 mins and be in the heart of Ueno with Nezu shrine closeby as well as Ueno park and all of the lovely museums. For the location and price, I would stay here again for sure! The neighborhood is very quiet and had a great mood/tone to it with calming music and great lighting in the streets.
The WiFi was a little spotty and the bathroom had a little bit of mold in it. I think a list of recommendations for coffee or dining upon checking in would be beneficial for foreigners given the overwhelming amount of stuff to do.

The owners are very welcoming and helpful. The room with the tatami was nice and sleeping there was very comfortable. Ideally located close to a metro station and to many shops in a charming part of Tokyo.

Friendly staff although not great with English. Location is good, since Ryokan - Annex Katsutaro is near an area with lots of small shops amd cafes.
Blankets had stains and the Ryokan is a bit far from downtown.

Location to Yanaka Ginza and Nippori station was excellent. Seven Eleven is across the street. Also a little walk from Nezu Shrine. Annex was clean and comfortable. Staff were kind. Lobby with tables was very accommodating. Room included robes and slippers. Tatami beds were surprisingly comfortable. Good wi-fi. Powerful A/C.

A modernized three-story ryokan conveniently located in the heart of the Yanaka District, an easy walk from Nippori Station (for direct access from and to Narita Airport on the Keisei Line, plus the JR Yamanote Line) and steps from Sendagi Station on the Chiyoda Line (more on this below). The tatami rooms feel quite spacious by Tokyo standards--I especially like the open shelving design which looks smart and is quite practical. There is an elevator in this building, making access easier to the upper floors.
There are many eating options nearby, including a hole-in-the-wall style Chinese restaurant called Mao Family Noodle Shop located a few storefronts away from the nearest Sendagi Station entrance. For people who like delicious and robustly flavoured Chinese food, I highly recommend their mabo tofu with white rice--wow that was incredible, after I requested they prepare it with extra numbing pepper (extra "hua jiao" in Mandarin).
Evening walks in the neighbourhood were a delight. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here.
Some of the fixtures have a bit of a yellow aged feeling, so this property is starting to show its age. The owners at the front desk are friendly and helpful when present, but there seem to be long stretches when no-one is around, giving a bit of a "home alone" feeling (I suppose some guests may view this as a plus, but for a family run ryokan in Japan it does feel a bit distant). Finally, prospective guests should note that taking the Chiyoda Line into the city in the morning, and out of the city (i.e. back to Sendagi Station) in the evening, is not for the faint of heart!

Excellent location. Great-value for solo and couples. Sleep on futon in traditional tatami floor. The ryokan is walking distance from Nishi-Nippori (train & skyline) station (12") and Sendagi (Tokyo subway, C-Chiyoda line) station (4"). The owners are very kind and helpful. Althought he Ryokan does not include breakfast, if you want the full local experience you can walk 10" to a traditional Japanese breakfast & meal at a small-quiet and cozy restaurant called 'Ichirantei'.
P.S. there are also public bathhouses within walking distance, if you like that type of experience.

The room was exactly what we needed for a comfortable night. Excellent location amongst little shops and restaurants. The best bakery is nearby and opens early at 6 am. The staff spoke fluent English. The instructions for everything (including the thermostat) were also in English. Nice area to sit and eat our food in the lobby downstairs. Washer and dryer were very handy.

A sweet Japanese style in Taito right near the Yanaka district. Easy access to buses and the subway. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast at Coffee Chi-zu right across the street. We’d stay here again.
The bathroom is has a step which can be tricky if one gets up at night ?

Japanese-style room with lots of shelves so we could unpack and stay organized. Location was perfect, very near Sendagi Station made it easy to get all over Tokyo. Street has lots of interesting restaurants and coffee shops, but is still pretty chill compared to a lot of Tokyo. Owners were friendly and helpful, laundry machines by the front desk worked well and the owner supplies the soap.
