I really enjoyed the traditional japanese aesthetic, it was small but made up for in scenery. They provided free water in the lobby and had daily housecleaning. The staff was super friendly always welcoming us and saying have a great day when we left. I would reccomend for a cheaper option, its fairly close to shibuya crossings.

The staff here are so friendly and the room is clean and beautiful. We stayed in a room with tatami floors and futons and our own bathroom. There is a bus stop nearby, but still very walkable to the nearest metro station. It is also not too far from the center of Shibuya! A very comfortable stay.

This is such a special place and it gives you a little taste of traditional Japanese hospitality, while being in walking distance of Shibuya Crossing and Meguro. The staff here are incredible and make you feel so welcome. I stayed in a room without private toilet or shower, but it was honestly fine considering I never had to wait for the ones in the hall (which were individual and had locks in the inside). On the nights that I stayed here, I was mostly around the Shibuya crossing / scramble area. One night I went out to a bar and was able to stay out really late which was nice, because I could easily walk home. If you sty here, definitely check out the many lunch spots in the neighborhood within a five minute walk behind the hotel. It was a super cute, quiet neighborhood, which was a nice change from hectic Shibuya. Definitely recommend! One thing to note is that there is not an elevator, but this was not a problem for me.

Super quiet small property with friendly staff. We liked the more traditional lodging for our short stay in Tokyo. The neighborhood is busy but you don't hear any of it at the property even though the main busy street is around the corner.

Great tatami stat!
Everyone was very kind and nice at the hotel. Rooms are slightly bigger than normal hotel rooms, which is a plus for winter travels as you’ll have bigger suitcase and more clothes. The bathroom however, are quite small and tight. Perfect for little me, but I can see problems for some of my bigger friends. As an idea, you can probably sit on the toilet, while brushing teeth. Overall, a very comfortable stay, 2 bus stops away from Shibuya Station, or a 15min walk.

No hair dryer, wifi not working at 3rd floor, NO ref.. And worse of all at the room you can smell smoking even at 3rd floor. Because at Lobby are allow to smoke but without any ventilation

Their check out time is 10am. I managed to return to the hotel five minutes before that. I was traveling by myself so not much stuff. I have done the packing previous night. Just need to get it from the room. However when the owner saw me, she showed me a very upset look. She complained that I might delay their cleaning of the room. When I went to the room to get my belongings, she even sent a worker to ask me hurry up. This all happened before 10am. I understand their concern but why can’t they wait until I was actual late! The face is while I was waiting in the lobby, I saw at least five groups of guests from other room checking out after 10am. Some of them actually checked out after 10:15am. The owner didn’t have the guts to complain a word. Just because I am a single woman traveling alone? Another concern is the cleaness. The room looks OK. I accidentally dropped something so I bend down to the floor and found it under the bed. It was quite a scene under the bed. Very dirty. They can totally reach that part with a mop. However, since people normally will not see it, they don’t bother to clean it. It’s my typical impression of Japanese. Will not recommend this place to other travelers!

We really enjoyed having a unique Japanese experience with tatami rooms.The only problem was that my husband is very tall and has a bad back. No chairs in the room were difficult for him. Staff was very accommodating and the location was terrific - quiet yet 10 minute walk to heart of Shibuya.

Using Shibuya as your main station means the hotel is a little far away (15 min walk). Staff spoke enough English and were very friendly and helpful. The Japanese style room for 3 people was quite small when all the beds (futons) were laid out - not much room to walk around the futons. I’m not sure if our sheets were changed every day, or if our towels were just replaced. So the hairs on our pillows and sheets may have been our own, but some were a different colour so definitely weren’t. Only 1 key for a group, but you can leave the key at reception during the day. We were also able to borrow and knife and tray to cut up some fruit, which was helpful. Take shoes off upon entering and leave them in a locker with a key, which was very good and safe. Overall a nice experience, just would have like a little more room (very hard to find in Japan) and closer to the station.

The hotel is exactly as advertised as a ryokan. The main problem is that it allows smoking in the lobby, which is the only place to do work comfortably in a chair. In almost every way Japan is cleaner and healthier than the United States. But allowing smoking almost negates this advantage. We loved the ambience of staying in this style of hotel, but will never return because of the smoking.

Good location, authentic feel
Hotel was generally good. Our flight was severely delayed meaning we didn't get in until 3am luckily the taxi driver was able to call so we could get in. Despite having booked for 4 nights we were hounded from 7 am onwards on the morning we arrived to be ready to move rooms at 10 am and rudely moved at 10 am the morning on the first morning with minimal sleep. Other than this rudeness on the first morning and the inconvenience of needing to change rooms despite 4 days being booked the stay was otherwise good.

I have been in this hotel before, but this my first time in a "western style" room without en suite bathroom facilities. If you can, go for the Japanese style rooms. This is OK, but a little bland.
