Open from August 2017, Guest House Wagokoro offers a modern Japanese-style accommodation an 8-minute stroll away from JR Nippori Station. Each room comes with an en suite bathroom and toilet.

Guests will find a shared kitchen and living room on site. Private rooms come with a TV, and a Japanese-style garden is featured on site.

Friendly, helpful, comfortable, clean and affordable. I'm doubtful that one can find something better for that price range in Tokyo.

A recently renovated property, 波奈 浅草 Hana Asakusa ーSkyTree前駅まで徒歩5分ー is situated in Tokyo near Hatonomachidori Shopping Street, Tsukada Kobo and Aizome Museum. The guest house, set in a building dating from 1970, is 1.2 km from Kamejimashogakko Memorial Park and 1.3 km from Sumida Cultural Museum. Ushijima Shrine is 1.4 km away and Tobu Museum is 1.4 km from the guest house.

The house structure is interesting (in a good way) We got all the amenities like in the hotels. Everything is clean. We had our first experience on Tatami flooring & how to lay a futon. Unlike other self check-in home stay, Kazuki-san is very friendly that he greeted us himself and we had a small chat which I feel warmly welcomed.

    Great location and loved Yoyogi as it was a quaint area where you can get to Shibuya and Shinjuku really easily. The hostel had really good toast, coffee and hot chocolate (I would come back just for the hot choc). The facilities were clean and comfortable.

    It’s a great hostel in the center of Ueno. The room is clean and super quiet. The hostel is close to the subway station, and close by there are plenty of shopping areas and restaurants. Highly recommended to families who are looking for reasonable accommodation while staying in Tokyo.

    What a great hostel! Neighborhood is upscale, the rooftop terrace is beautiful and I loved the privacy curtains around the bed. There was even shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower. Quiet location and in walking distance to a main subway station that takes you to the airport or around Tokyo. Great place to stay. Highly recommended.

    The hosts were polite, friendly and thorough with the room tour. Great location on a quiet residential street, steps away from major streets and amenities. The room was also well stocked with anything you might need for your stay, from the kitchen to the bathroom.

    Kagaribi is a cozy traditional style guesthouse in a very quiet neighbourhood, around 15 min by foot to Kita-Senju station, from which you can get anywhere in Tokyo. :)) Daisuke the host is super friendly and the common area is very chill, everyone was very nice and our small group of friends enjoyed our stay here very much <3
