The staff were very kind and helpful. We had the Salmon Breakfast, and it was delicious. Felt very comfortable in our room.

Rooms are lovely. Not huge (bathrooms are quite small), but certainly big enough for two people. The staff were wonderful! They gave us extra futons to sleep on and extra pillows. Futons and pillow here were more comfortable than a previous ryokan we stayed at. Also, this was one of the best breakfasts we had. They had a lot of different options. They're in the Asakusa district which is one of my favorite parts of Tokyo, and only five minutes from a subway stop and a mini mart.
The location, while convenient to the subway, isn't near much you can walk to. So it's a bit of a hike to get near most shops or restaurants, but not bad. Maybe 15-25 minutes.

Staff was very pleasant.
The traditional bed was a bit hard but the staff provided an extra mattress and it was so much better.

I tried the traditional breakfast, and it was very delicious. The neighborhood seems more residential, so I had to go to different neighborhoods for food and shopping. I loved the traditional aspects of the hotel, like the rooms, and the "in and out" notification method at the check-in stand.
I was disappointed with the public bath, as it didn't resemble the picture featured online, and it was one of the main selling points for the hotel for me to book.

The property is away from the very crowded areas offering some quiet time after a long day.
The staff were welcoming, friendly and kind.
The hotel itself was clean.
We initially requested an extra night of one became available until we saw our room. It was facing the interior of the building and felt dark, gloomy. The room itself was clean, larger than the norm, but the space not well thought out. The APA is half the size but it allows you to organize your personal belongings in a way it makes sense.
The pillows were pretty flat, the linens were rough, blanket was also pretty flat. They felt cheap. The mattress was very soft and the primary cause for our leaving the very next day despite the fee for an extra night. My back was hurting quite a bit.
We also couldn’t believe the absence of a bidet. Come on, even the metro has a bidet! This was another reason for the early check out. We were on the eve of our trip back home and we didn’t want our last experience to end like this.
We lost money, time and it was extremely inconvenient to transfer to another property, but well worth it.

The staff were very friendly and warm to my children.
The mattresses were thin even for futons.

The facilities and room were comfortable. We appreciated the futon beds, availability of extra pillows, and yukata provided. The room had near-blackout roller blinds so we slept well. The staff worked with us in modifying the optional breakfast to be vegan, which was served with coffee and tea. Staff appeared multicultural and were always helpful and friendly. The hotel was an easy six-minute walk from the train station.
Inconsistent messaging/miscommunication was something we observed more than once. For example, we were told ahead of time that bedding for our five year old would be an extra charge; in-person, we were told a “baby futon” would be free but a regular futon would incur extra charge (we went with the baby futon which was almost as large as our futon). We were also confirmed an 11:30am checkout time OK by one staff member at the front desk, only to receive a call at 11:20am by another staff member stating we were due to check out at 11am.

We wanted as an authentic stay in Tokyo as possible and this was it. The staff was wonderful, cheerful and just great to be around. We loved the breakfast in the morning. The facilities were in a real neighborhood in Tokyo so we just were able to be around the regular people of the city and local restaurants etc.

The hotel has friendly staff, and offers a ryokan feel with tatami flooring and futon-style beds.
The hotel feels tired. The cupboards and wardrobes in the room were a little tatty to say the least, and the overall ambience is a little below par. I'd read reviews saying that the hotel was in a good location, but I didn't feel that to be the case - the area the hotel is situated in is very rural and doesn't offer many opportunities close at hand to go for a meal, a drink or even a walk. If you want a hotel with a choice of close by restaurants and bars, this isn't the one.

Everything was lovely! The staff were kind and helpful, incredibly accommodating. The Salmon Set breakfast was AMAZING, truly such a lovely start to the day. Rooms were decent size with clean futon setups!

Breakfast was delicious, the staff were wonderfully helpful and friendly, the location was great and the private bath was amazing. General ryokan atmosphere was just what we wanted.
Room was very small for our family and the futons were very thin (as is traditional, I know, but it made sleeping uncomfortable). Also, the cleaning staff took a very long time to reach our rooms (mid-afternoon, since we were top floor) which conflicted with our schedule on some days.

Staff were nice, breakfast was good and the Salmon was very tasty, Tatami was well kept and the room was cosy.
It is however a tourist trap style hotel experience not worth the price paid, it does present as such and I have been to Japan a few times so this is my poor judgement.
If you are time poor and only visiting Tokyo and want something resembling Japan as an idea in the big city this will tick your boxes.
The paid extra hot bath room was not good however, very moldy and made my skin irritated and left feeling dirty.

We were exceptionally satisfied with our stay at Edo Sakura. The headliner here is the staff - always friendly, helpful, and really went out of their way to go the extra mile. They assisted with reservations, laundry service (for a slight fee of ~$10.00), and made our stay as effortless as possible.
The rooms were very comfortable and well maintained, though there were some slight signs of wear and tear (but nothing which impacts the comfortability of the room).
The area is quiet, far from the main hustle and bustle of the busiest tourist streets. This, to us, was a huge benefit.
For the cost of the room, I was blown away by what I got. If ever we find ourselves back in Tokyo, this place will be at the top of our list for hotels.
I hesitate to even list this as a negative, as it is necessary for the area to be as quiet and quant as it is, but the only slight downside is that it's relatively far from some areas tourists may want to go to (we found it took ~50ish minutes to get to Shibuya, for example). Not a major problem at all, and totally worth it to get the benefits of the room and the quiet atmosphere.

The staff at Edo Sakura were absolutely amazing, warm, welcoming, attentive, and helpful when needed!
The Edo Sakura was the best part of our stay in Tokyo.
Futon beds will not be for everyone, but you can ask the staff for some extra mattress support :)

The location - in a nice residential area of Tokyo
Yet convenient to get to train and around Tokyo , very nice coffee place nearby for breakfast coffee
Very nice staff , they let us check-in earlier as we came in morning from a very long flight.
Lobby can be a bit more comfortable in case you need to wait to check - in

I can definitely recommend this hotel! The atmosphere is wonderful — as soon as you step inside, you really feel like you’re in Japan. The traditional-style details give it a warm and authentic vibe that makes the stay special.
The building is a little bit old, but it’s been nicely renovated and feels very clean and well cared for. There was no bad smell or anything unpleasant — everything was tidy and comfortable. The room is small, as you’d expect in Japan, but it’s well designed, and there’s enough space to keep your things organized. The bathroom was spotless, and overall, it gave me a cozy, home-like feeling.
The location is also great — it’s convenient for walking to some tourist spots, and there are plenty of local food options nearby.
Overall, I was very happy with my stay. For the price, it’s a really good value, and I’d happily stay here again
Thank you for your information!
