    The room is in a traditional Japanese style, which is a good experience. We slept on futons, and they were so comfortable! The price was also affordable for such a location (near Shinjuku) and quality.

    Wonderful location, extremely close to the station. Staff were incredibly friendly and all very happy to help, all had great English skills too which was really helpful. Room wise it was spacious for what we paid. The tatami beds were comfortable, and staff changed our towels daily, bed sheets changed every three days. There was a dressing room with a table, wardrobe and clothes rack- very convenient to leave baggage. Shower and toilet both in best condition and very clean. Laundry was easy to use and communal kitchen/common room available for use. Wifi is available. Free bathroom amenities and hairdryer available too.

    The staff was really kind and helpful and incredibly accomodating with our luggage. We felt immediately welcomed! The room is really spacious and clean. The location was perfect to explore several Tokyo neighborhoods in no time thanks to the proximity with the metro line (including Yamanote line)

    The only thing I can think of is just having to leave the key with reception every time you go out but that wasn’t any bother.

    Middle of room was a rock way which was pretty but was the path to the bathroom which at times wasn’t ideal. But felt authentic to be fair. The beds are futon beds so we had to ask for extra one as found only 2 layers not enough

    Really nice staff. Room was big for Tokyo. Clean and tidy. Good hot shower. Location was great. So close to Okubo station.

    Loved the traditional tatami style, the kindness and availability of the staff and the location. You’re literally 4 mins away from the JR station and if you’re traveling with big luggages it’s really convenient. The area is also great, you’ve got everything you need: restaurants, convinient stores etc. I would def recommend you to come here!

    A lovely place to stay, traditional style, we were surprised at how much room we had! It was more like a small apartment. The hosts were super lovely and kind, and we had fresh towels each day. It is also in a great location - just two mins walk from the station, where you can get to all major stops in no time!

    The space is a little small for big groups. But if you’re traveling alone or maybe with a partner, then the space won’t be an issue at all.

    It gave us an opportunity to experience what it’s like to live in an actual Japanese home. Staff are helpful, friendly and accommodating. The property is also clean and neat.

    The WiFi was a bit iffy but we only noticed as we ran out of data on our last day.

    Comfy futons on tatami mats. Rooms cleaned every day with fresh towels. We arrived really early from Kyoto and the hosts let us wait in the upstairs breakout room while our room was getting sorted. A real mom 'n pop type place, where you could use the communal kitchen, laundry etc. Its an old building so don't expect shiny and modern. Was really close to the station and lots of cheap grocery shops around if you wanted to make your own meals.
