Tokyo Ryokan (東京旅館) in Asakusa

We loved our stay at Tokyo Ryokan. Kenichi is the best host, very friendly, he speaks English, the communication by email was quick and clear, he showed us around and gave us a lot of tips! The room is perfectly clean, comfortable futons, very nicely decorated.|It's in a quiet street, In front of a beautiful temple. 8 mins walk to the station, connected to everything. Amazing place to stay in Tokyo!

I booked a room at this ryokan almost a year ago, but I only remembered to leave a review now. I cherish every day and memory of Japan, including my very brief stay in this ryokan. The owner is very accommodating and curious. He provided helpful insights and tips that greatly helped me as I navigated through the city's busy streets and their rather confusing yet very organized transpo system. I would have loved to have spent more time chatting over tea, but I had limited time then. If I ever found myself back, I'd like to stay at this Tokyo Ryokan again. Thank you. [I reserved the room ahead of the trip, which I think is what's advisable because ryokan rooms are in demand for tourists. Highly recommended for that authentic Japanese feels. I love tatami!]

Our stay at Tokyo Ryokan was the highpoint of our visit in Tokyo. Kenichi is a humble and kind man who treats his guests way beyond what is paid for. The rooms are smaller and facilities shared, so you have to be okay with that, but it was very clean and very homely. We will definitely come back

Tokyo Ryokan is not just a place to stay; it's an immersion into Japanese culture and hospitality at its finest.|The ryokan's location is unbeatable. Nestled in a quiet street, it's just a short walk from the main vibrant area of Asakusa steeped in history, with the iconic Senso-ji Temple and Nakamise Shopping Street just a 10 min walk away. The nearby metro stations at short-walking distance also provide easy access to explore the rest of Tokyo. The ryokan's quiet and peaceful setting offers an authentic Japanese experience and a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The tatami mat rooms (3 rooms on the first floor) and shared bathroom (ground floor) are impeccably clean, minimalist, and exude a calming ambiance. Every detail, from the futon bedding to the shoji screens, reflects the timeless elegance of Japanese design.|Kenichi the host goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience for every guest. His impeccable English, attentiveness, helpfulness, and deep knowledge of Japan and different parts of the world lend well to rich discussions. Kenichi’s dedication to his craft is impressive to behold. Whether it was providing insider tips on local attractions and food, assisting with travel mess ups, or sharing engaging stories about Japanese traditions, history and culture, Kenichi's presence and hospitality made our experience truly special. It's a labour of love that feels like a living form of Japanese art.

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at the Tokyo Ryokan. We loved sleeping on Futons on traditional Tatami mats. The Ryokan is in a great location to enjoy Asakusa (a delightful area, with temples, restaurants, Iskayas, Onsens, close the the sky tree, Ueno park and many museums). Kenichi who runs the Ryokan made our stay unforgettable. He showed us many great places in Tokyo, and gave excellent recommendations for things to do. He even taught us Origami! We'll miss you Kenichi!

My wife and I loved staying here. Kenichi is a very kind, friendly and knowledgeable person. He showed us some great spots to eat, walk and explore in the neighborhood. Our conversations were very enjoyable and enlightening.

Tokyo Ryokan is a charming place to stay in the heart of Asakusa. Its prime location offers easy access to transit lines and the neighborhood’s main attractions. The ryokan is impeccably clean, with a minimalist approach that provides everything you need and nothing you don’t. What truly sets this stay apart is the exceptional host, Kenichi. His kindness and eagerness to help make your visit unforgettable. Thanks to his thoughtful recommendations, we enjoyed unique experiences we wouldn’t have found on our own. We’re deeply grateful for his hospitality!

Small but nice and comfortable rooms, a shared bathroom. If you don't mind sleeping on a futon, this place is just perfect. Unbeatable value for what it costs, great location. It really feels like living in a Japanese neighborhood. The owner is lovely and helpful in every way. I really loved stying here!
