It’s right next to exit 7 of Takadanobaba Tozai line, plenty of businesses, bars, live clubs and a retro game arcade are within walking distance. The owners are open for a chat and have plenty of stories to tell. We had an enjoyable stay at the Ryokan and would book again

“Great location, great hosts, very cozy and traditional”
Location is fantastic, very close to metro/train lines, but it doesn’t feel overly crowded. There’s very good food all around. The Ryokan is very nice and well taken care of. You really get a traditional Japanese vibe (at least that’s what it felt like to me!) and it’s very cozy. The owners, Aeiko and Michael, are very attentionate and kind.

The Futon was way more comfortable then i expected and the Eiko was really nice and helpful. With the Taizo line direkt in front of the door and the Yamanote Line not far away. Also a short walk to some nice parks and resturants. A 7 elven and famima is also close by.

“Safe place to stay with friendly staff! Would recommend :-)”
Very convenient location (near central) and for the price point, a very cosy place to stay. The room and bath is clean. Occasionally, you might meet the other tenant in the hallway; everyone is very friendly! Made new friends. Even though the room is a little small, it has everything needed. Had memorable and fond memories here.

Feels very homely! It's in a great location close to the Yamanote line as well as Tozai line, which is great for exploring Tokyo

“An incredibly cultured stay in a guest house in the best of sense.”
Run by a kind family of cultured and humane owners, here modern life seems indeed rubbish. We would return, gladly, even if only for the fireside chats through the office window.

“Traditional, cosy and friendly in a good safe location”
Felt very traditional and cosy, we walked past it at first and thought, thad would be a nice place to stay, then realised it was the place! So we were delighted, it’s tucked away just off the Main Street close to the station and very convenient location, we were welcomed very nicely and instantly felt a nice grounding being there

“Excellent on the whole. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful.”
The Location was excellent! It was 2mins away from the Tokyo Metro and 6-8mins from the Takadanobaba station. There were plenty of affordable eatries and shopping options next to the Ryokan. On the whole we were left to ourselves with no interference from the others and had the freedom to come and go freely at any time of the day and night.
