This was the first place where we stayed in Japan and we loved it. The japanese style bedroom was lovely, if a bit on the small side. The staff was extremely polite and very helpful, and the breakfast (extra charge) was delicious. The hotel is just a few steps away from the Senso-ji and the main attractions of Asakusa. We... More

This place rests on its laurels. The older man on reception is, even by western standards, woefully misplaced in hospitality. By Japanese standards he should be extradited for rudeness. They are most unhelpful about holding luggage when you've paid, hence, "Impossible!", his reaction to our returning at four, "Three, only!" Having spent a fortnight travelling this wonderful land and staying... More

We love this place, having stayed there four times, but it is more like a small hotel or a guesthouse rather than a real ryokan. They have tried to have more Japanese-style rooms (Futons on the floor, which is okay with us.) The Japanese breakfast at 1300 yen per person seems expensive, but in my opinion it is good value...

the design, comfort,cleanliness of the rooms, friendliness of staff, good breakfasts and quiet location in a very busy and interesting area. i especially appreciated the japanese soaking room/tub on the roof after a day of walking..the price was right for the tatami room and feel lucky to have chosen this ryokan sight unseen.

Thought I'd try something authentic Japanese and this Inn delivered just that. Pretty quiet, very functional and clean rooms, right in the heart of the local markets and temples. Easy walk to Tokyo Sky Tree, and plenty of other local attractions. So many restaurants to choose from.

This was one of the most enjoyable stays I have ever had visiting a foreign country. I wanted to stay in a traditional Ryokan or Japanese Inn but with modern conveniences and Ryokan Shigetsu was perfect. As land is expensive, the Japanese have learned to be very creative with their small spaces. Where we have a different room for each... More

Best deal ever in Tokyo. MODERN BUILDING WITH CLASSIC LOOKS. Close to restaurants, Senso ji, Sky Tree, subway, far away from busy and noisy Tokyo center. Fantastic in house sento and... Cheap. 7800 yen for a single. Great place. Take care... Closed for cleaning between 10 am and 3 pm. You cant stay in your room.

Stayed here for a traditional stay after friends had recommended it. The hotel staff were lovely and very welcoming and our room was very small but comfortable. The bathroom was even smaller (I could touch wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor with the span of my arms!) but functional and clean. The ryokan was in a beautiful traditional area, close to Asakusa temple... More

We were checked into a room without a bath or shower and told to use communal facilities where there is no lock, only open at limited times and the facilities are shared with others (you wash in front of others and get into the bath with them). Our room needed updating, bathroom floor crumbling away, panels held up with sellotape... More
