The breakfast is excellent. Highly recommended. The location is easy to reach. The staffs are very friendly and helpful. They speak perfect English.
I personally need a thicker futon. But you can double up. They are glad to provide for you.

This was our second time here and it was an amazing stay once again. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful and the breakfast delicious. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, with a subway stop less than 10 minutes away on foot. I'm sure we'll be back.
Nothing. The place is perfect for us.

I booked a non-western room to experience the tatami mat experience. More space for luggages, but bedding wasn't really for me. Location was excellent, close to multiple train lines. Staff is above, and beyond-they made the stay excellent
My only knock was the futon bedding. it's acutally my bad, since I booked this room for specifically this reason (to experience this). My back and creaky knees thought other wise. I'll book a western style room next time.

While a little more hotel/hostel style ryokan, it was very nice and comfortable. Gave our niece the traditional Japanese experience we were looking for. Staff were all very friendly and helpful and the amenities were lovely.
If I had to say anything the mattresses were maybe a little thin (thinner than we have had before), but they did mention we could get something else if wanted.

Great ryokan feel. Staff was kind and attentive. The breakfast set was amazing. Room was spacious and comfy.
Needed two mattresses as a side sleeper so I could sleep well.

It was a cute place but most importantly were the staff. Aisleen took good care of us and making sure our stay was comfortable. Other staff were nice too.
The Japanese breakfast was not good. The fish is very salty.

There was a breakfast in the morning, unusual for ryokans and smaller hotels in Japan.
All was good.

The hotel is great, the staff is amazing, responsive, and talkative; it was a huge pleasure to interact with them. The hotel is in a quiet location, not far from the metro (a 10-minute walk). There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby to eat and drink, and a supermarket is located about 500 meters from the hotel. Breakfast is excellent at a reasonable price.
The Japanese sauna features an onsen-style bath, and there is a small bathing area available for an additional charge (not expensive, but I don't see the point in it) for 5 euros for 40 minutes. It's simply a bathtub, without any modifications, where you can sit together in a lukewarm (let's say comfortably warm) bath... I don't find much value in that. By the way, there are public baths in the area!

loved the traditional Japanese feel; very quiet room; quiet residential area at walking distance from Asakusa; good subway connections
futon-style bedding wasn't for us, but this is not to say it might not be comfortable for other guests!

Staff was beyond kind and helpful. Room was spacious for Tokyo.
Our shower was covered in hair when we checked in. It was also the only place we stayed that did not have a bidet.

Beautiful traditional machita style accommodation with tatami mats and futons. Great bakery a few blocks away that we visited every morning right across from the lifts to Iriya station. Extremely well priced for the quality of the stay and experience.
We wanted to be close to Ueno park for the cherry blossoms, playground and swan boats for the kids. It is walkable - about 20 mins with kids- but most days it was more convenient to catch the train. Nothing bad to say about the property itself.
