Warm, cozy, welcoming room in a traditional Japanese house. We appreciated Katsutaro san’s hospitality. Coin washer and dryer onsite. Walking distance to Yanaka Ginza shopping street and Nippori or Ueno station. Recommend.

The ryokan has a charm of itself worth trying! The room had plenty of space and was very clean. No amenities though!

I had a wonderful stay. The location is wonderful for museum-goers and is located right next to beautiful Ueno Park, which has many events and museums within its bounds as well as a lovely lake of lotus flowers. The room was comfortable and very clean, it also had air conditioning in the room, which was great to be able to use on some warm August nights. I was also able to walk to Akihabara for nightlife. My host and hostess were also very kind and attentive throughout my stay. Many deliscous restaurants are also very close by.

Great place! The owners helped us out immediately and always greeted us as we entered. There's a computer in the lounge that's great for printing out flight tickets, and the rooms are super comfy and are cleaned daily for us. The location is nice- it's an 15-18 minute walk to Ueno Station, which is ok, and the path takes you right through the beautiful Ueno Park. Great place, great location and great owners!

The Ryokan is close to the bustling Tokyo Ueno, like a 15 minute walk, but is located in a quiet neighborhood. One of the best nights we had real good sleep. The stairway to guest rooms is steep and narrow, hence will be a challenge with bulky luggage. Also the price was a little high, unsure if it was because of peak holiday season.
