Ryokan Sansuiso is a great! Stayed once as a solo traveler. It felt safe and clean. I had a room with the bathroom. Tatami mats are comfortable and the a/c runs well. Second time, we had hall bathrooms, which are right around the corner. It feels like someone’s home and not hotel. It’s a home and feels like it. We booked 3 rooms for 5 nights. Rooms feel cozy - can’t spread your stuff all over the place. It’s very zen feel. Spotless and housekeeping was attentive. Love the hot water for matcha tea, small snacks, and the Yakuta for each guest. We also tried to get back early to sit in the hot bath/Onsen for tired legs. Recommend if you’re ok with basic services and a nice Japanese experience. No elevator and stair steps are for small feet. So if you have big feet, you may need to side step it to work on your agility.
Shopping: grocery store open late, restaurants all around, the shopping center 5 min away has a small Muji and there is a laundry mat and Don Quixote near by. Although the mall has a place called Can-Do that has a variety of DQ items. Very close to Gotanda Station and the walk by the river is a nice stroll after a long day of crowds in major tourist areas. We liked the quiet side of the place. You can hear the trains, but we were so tired it didn’t bother us. It stops late and starts back up around 4;45 am. I never heard it after I fell asleep.
