    Nothing at all, thank you for being so kind and accommodating :)

    I have back problems and often have pain in the morning. That was not the case for the beds here, i woke up pain free! Very comfortable after a long day of walking around.

    Location was perfect - a short walk to the station and right in the middle of the Asakusa tourist district. Heaps of food and shopping options right out your front door. The host was super friendly and accommodating, and the rooms were very comfortable and quite spacious - the futons were very comfy too! One of our rooms even had a stunning view of the tower! Would definitely stay again.

    Coming 'home' in Asakusa

    The weather was a bit warm the week I was there, so my room was quite warm being on the 4th floor. However there was an aircon I used sometimes. Also, there was only a main light in the room (and separate light in the bathroom) Perhaps a small lamp could be placed in the room so the main light does not need to be kept on when reading etc.

    I loved the location. So close to the sights of Asakusa which were quite busy during the day but then were peaceful at night. The room 'felt" more spacious than a regular hotel room, I guess because there wasn't much furniture. I also had a great view of the Skytree from my window! It was easy to get to other parts of Tokyo by train or walk to some other significant areas (eg. Sumida City). Some of these places could be crazy but it was nice to 'come home' to Asakusa and although the ryokan was literally around the corner from Nakamise Shopping Street, once you entered it, it felt so removed. The owner was lovely, she was always smiling and helpful and let me check in early at 1pm as the room was ready. I was happy to just leave my bags but it was nice to have a rest before going out again. I used the bathtub a few times (after a few busy days of sightseeing) which also had these great armrests built in. There were many shops and eating options nearby too.

    The toilet paper is very thin. That was my only issue. I cant find anything else that needs improvement.

    Ryokan Mikawaya is very close to the market and shrine but still completely quiet at night. You have direct access to a huge variety of restaurants. The owners talk to you in Japanese by default but can easily switch to English so it’s a great place to practice Japanese without getting stuck. The free tea bags and coffee get refilled every morning. The bathroom had body soap, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, a comb and a razor. All you need to bring yourself is showergel and toothpaste.

    Ryokan Mikawaya in Tokyo is a charming traditional inn that offers guests an authentic Japanese experience. Located in a convenient area, it provides comfortable tatami rooms, warm hospitality, and a glimpse into Japan’s rich cultural heritage. I appreciate its cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and proximity to major attractions.

    I have no complaints

    I had an amazing experience at this location during my previous trip to Tokyo. I loved how central it was, making it easy to explore the city. It's just a quick walk to the subway.. The staff were outstanding; they made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout my stay. When planning my return to Tokyo, this place was my first choice because of the wonderful service and great location.

    Some explanation could be given on where the metro is. There is heating in the room but I only found out after three days and I was cold. There is no breakfast or kitchen. But you can use the microwave.

    Loved this place. The rooms are very comfortable and it’s quiet. The mattress is good. Location is great. Loved taking coffee in the morning downstairs.

    The mattress on the floor was a nice cultural experience, but it was too hard. I had to ask for a extra mattress layer, but that wasn't enough, although certainly much better.

    The staff were very friendly and spoke quite good English. I speak no Japanese so that was extremely helpful.
