Mere minutes away from two different trains, which makes it a perfect spot from which to explore. Definitely for travelers looking for a more laid back side of Tokyo.

This is our third stay as we love the Yanaka area and this hotel is clean, comfortable and conveniently located. It is about 10 mins walk to nippori station for rail / airport and 5 mins walk to sendagi metro station which is easy to use. Rooms have tatami floor with Japanese style bedding and own western style bathrooms. Only issue was a slightly squeaky bathroom floor. We hired bikes from tokyo bike just up the road to cycle around Yanaka and Ueno Park. Good eateries nearby include Hagi cafe and CIBI cafe as well as kabaya bakery. Would recommend if you are looking for private, comfortable affordable accommodation.

A Springboard to Enjoy a Modern Tradition in Tokyo

Annex Katsutaro Ryokan is home to Japanese modern traditional comfort available at valuable price, but the quality is excellent. It stands out of a crowd and much better than staying at some capsule hotels and also better than some 3-star hotels at this price range. I stayed in a Single Room, it's so nice, perfect, meticulous, comfort, and more spacious than some 3-star hotels' that I experienced in Tokyo.

We have very high praise for this hotel. When we first arrived we realised we'd left a bag containing our passports on the train - the staff went above and beyond to help us to try to get them back, and we did, within a very short space of time! We're so grateful. They were also very accommodating in answering any questions we had about the area, and personally showed us to our room. The hotel itself was very welcoming and clean, and the room was just what we needed - clean and nicely presented. The location is great as well, and very convenient for getting to/from Narita. We would highly recommend this hotel and will be staying again whenever we're in Tokyo.

Ryokan in charming neighbourhood

Cosy ryokan in the middle of a charming neighbourhood. Just a few minutes' walk from Nippori station for Narita airport and Yamanote line, or Sendagi Tokyo Metro station. Plenty of shops; the main shopping street closes early though so plan your time accordingly. Futon was comfortable, though it could do with slightly more thickness. Otherwise, nothing to complain about really.

Wonderful ryokan in Tokyo in great neighborhood

This was our third trip to Japan and Tokyo. This was our best stay so far- the ryokan proprietor and staff are all very helpful, non-smoking, and have thought out many details needed by travelers. The area is full of interesting sites within walking distance- the loop bus is across the street from the ryokan and can get you easy access to the Ueno zoo. If traveling to and from the Narita airport- the loop bus can get you to the Keisei ueno stop and it's a short walk to the new Keisei skyliner. The ryokan was clean, well laid out, and information about the loop bus was placed by the front door for easy access. The proprietor has a wonderful area map that is incredibly useful for walking the neighborhood. We have a family of four and the room for four was spacious and well laid out. One thing to note is that Japanese silk doesn't always hold up to multiple visitors so there were some stains on the walls here and there- to be expected but just so folks know. We loved our stay and will stay here again.

Conveniently located

The feedback by previous reviewers were accurate so no nasty surprise. I think sleeping on the futons takes some getting used to as they are rather thin and you can feel the floor. Having said that, it was still a novel experience. Location wise, it's really good especially since the Nippori station of the Yamanote line is at most 10 mins walk away, direct connection to Narita airport and popular places like Tsukiji, Shinjuku, Shibuya and Harajuku. Would recommend this to anyone who is looking for reasonably priced accommodation at a good location.

Ryokan confortable dans un quartier tranquille.
Le petit déjeuner n’est pas proposé mais Cibi café à deux pas sert d’excellents petits déjeuners. Station de métro Sendagi à côté et gare de Nipori à 10 mn à pied. Les sites à visiter sont facilement accessibles.

Tokyo da impazzire

Ryokan pulitissimo con stanze abbastanza grandi nel quartiere tradizionale di Yanaka, a poca distanza dalla fermata della metro Sendagi e dalla linea JR Yamanote. Proprietari disponibili e gentili.

great ryokan that fulfils all expectations!

a well-run and old school ryokan that I like to take as often as I can. nice hosts, good service. location is perfect with the metro closeby, the nippori main train station etc. grocery store and convenience store in 100m distance. rooms are Japanese style ryokan with tatami mats and futon, and of course a bit on the smaller side like a ryokan typically is. everything is in good condition, clean, comfy, and as it should be.

Recommended for non allergic people

I have asthma and I could not breathe during my first night here. After requesting a vacuum cleaning of the tatami and the mattress the next day, I could breathe normally. I love the old lady who helped me promptly.
This is a good hotel for people who do not have an allergy.

조용하고 일본스러운 동네에 위치한 숙소

닛포리역에서 도보 10-11분 정도 걸리는 곳에 위치해있는데 근처에 센가기역은 3분 컷이라 여기저기 다니기 좋았어요!! 호스트 할머니께서도 엄청 친절하시고 영어도 잘 하셔서 의사소통에도 전혀 문제 없었습니다~ 다만 시설이 약간 오래돼서인지 먼지는 쪼금 있었으나 저는 크게 신경 안 쓰였어용 화장실은 냉수온수 따로 조절할 수 있어서 수압도 세고 좋았습니다!!! 드라이기 있고 여기저기 코드 많아요~ 여러모로 싸게 잘 예약한 것 같아요!

Strategically placed within reach of two subway lines and a bus station, the hotel is a great value for the money. The room is clean and big for Tokyo’s standard. The area around the hotel is calm but full of restaurants and facilities, everything you might want after a busy day in central Tokyo. I would surely come again!

Perfect stay!

nice, small, cute ryokan, exactly like what I was hoping for. Very clean, has all things you need like a TV, fridge, hair dryer, kettle. very clean. good condition. very helpful owners, very likeable people. best location: a grocery store and a 247 convenient store within 50m distance. Nippori station just 5-10min walk away: perfect to get to Narita airport, but also to jump onto the yamanote line which brings you to the other major stations like Ueno, Tokyo central, Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, or Shibuya. On the other side of Nippori a number of restaurants with a few notable ramen places

Experiência agradável

Hotel simples, bem agradável e com ótima localização (próxima de uma estação de trem e outra de metrô). Para quem não está acostumado com o quarto típico (em que você dorme no chão) demora um pouco para acostumar, mas é uma experiência diferente. Destaque para o atendimento atencioso da equipe.

hotel excentré , environnement banlieue moche , rapport qualité/ prix trés mauvais . A Tokyo éviter les Ryokans , choisir un grand hotel dans un quartier vivant : Ginza , Roppongi , Omote- sando ....selon son gout , pour 70€ de plus nous avons déménager et trouver un 5 etoiles tout confort à Minato-Ku a cheval entre les quartiers de commerce , de vie , de musées .....
Tokyo est une ville de très grands hotels en quantite importante et il faut saisir les opportunités de remplissage et donc pas forcement réserver trop tôt a l’avance

Bonne expérience

Hôtel de style Ryokan avec lits futons très confortables. Hôtel très calme et très bien situé par rapport aux métros (2 lignes proches) dans un quartier typique ancien avec nombreux restaurants et boutiques à proximité. Bref, un très bon choix pour une petite immersion dans le Japon d'autrefois.

Un excellent choix pour un séjour touristique

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce Ryokan reposant, au calme, placé dans un quartier qui n'est certes pas le coeur névralgique de Tokyo mais c'est l'intérêt: on est au calme, de petites rues piétonnes sillonnent la ville, pas de buildings, peu de voitures, le métro est très proche, et ce quartier est notre préféré de Tokyo pour y résider: tranquille, très mignon, proche de restaurants délicieux et abordables.
Personnel top.
