A cosy little hotel with friendly staff. The hotel itself is dated, but it's clean and well kept. There's a train station within walking distance and there are quite a number of dining options around the area. Would stay at this hotel again when I'm in Tokyo.

The hotel is surprisingly a block away from one of Tokyo City Air Terminals, Train Terminal and Tourist Information building. You can easily access Tokyo's tourist destinations. Narita and Haneda airports are a Limo Bus ride away. The hotel owner and his staff speak English and are very helpful.

Second time around

This is our second time staying at this hotel and that is for a reason. The room is spacious especially for Japanese standards, there is a special touch to it as the owner is very hands on and it is close to the TCAT where one can board the limousine bus to go to Haneda or Narita airport. They have many amenities and they would refresh our towels and bottled water everyday. There are also many restaurants nearby and is walking-distance to train stations. We will definitely stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was pretty big and the location was nice and quiet. They provided us clean towels and water bottles daily if we needed. There’s a 7 eleven right around the corner and the subway was about a 7 min walk. The property is older but that didn’t bother us. We would definitely stay here again.
