There is only one drawback with this place - there are no rooms with private toilet or washbasin. The ofuro is small but fine. It is run by a delightful friendly couple and the staff are also friendly and some speak English. The rooms are immaculate and have all the little extras you'd expect of a ryokan. The location is...

I stayed here my first 2 nights in Tokyo.

The Ryokan was a very short walk from there. Ryokan... More
