This one was a little hard to find - the lobby - check in is in a little different area of where we are staying.. the directions gave the location to the building but the lobby was in a different location. Had to ask a guy for help.. the lobby was about 2-3 short blocks from the building. But the locals were very nice. they knew the place and helped us out. Rooms were nice - service was nice.. just a little confusing to find the lobby at first.
Wonderful, modern ryokan, lovely owners, easy access from station.What more could you ask for?
We had a pleasant stay at Ikoi-no-ie, which is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from the metro station. We booked a room with a private bathroom, which was very convenient. The area is quiet, with a restaurant just around the corner and a shared dining room available for use.
One thing to note is that check-in and the front desk are in a separate building about a 3-minute walk away, so if you're arriving with large suitcases, be prepared to go back and forth. Additionally, the rooms are on the second floor with steep stairs, which might be challenging if you have heavy luggage.
Other than that, the Japanese-style room was very nice and clean. The hotel staff was helpful and welcoming, and both check-in and check-out were smooth and easy. Overall, a great stay with a few logistical points to keep in mind!
