Nothing, everything is perfect

This place is simply AMAZING. One of the best hostel I ever stayed. Don’t miss!

Futon bedding is hard on the body if you’re not used to it. Also take your earplugs. Because of the thinness of walls and floors it can get very noisy when you are trying to sleep. Other than that it was a great experience for us.

K’s house is so lovely. The room was large and airy with large windows opening over the water course outside. Bedding was traditional futon and there is the option to rent yukatas which is nice. The kitchen and laundry area is great and the onsen fantastic. The private one always seemed to be available. It’s easy to find, great location and about a 10 minute walk from the station.

The room (river view) was incredibly beautiful, comfortable and with stunning views. Sleeping on the tatami floor was lovely. The public bath is really impressive, don't skip it! We also took a bath in the private onsen, very nice. The common areas are really big, beautiful and with lovely views of the river. Overall an amazing building with great value for money.

This special Charme the ryokon has is not to describe. Every detail is just beautiful. I hope it will last for a long time.

Great price/value, super nice staff that gave good advice on where to go in the evening. The room was spacious and the futon was very comfortable.

The room had some dust in the air but that's expected for an old building.

What an awesome old historic building! Lovely staying here - friendly staff, nice facilities, great onsen (both shared and private!). Great common areas - plenty of space for all to enjoy! Highly recommend this place!

Beautiful Japanese traditional house. Excellent facilities with friendly and helpful staff. Perfect central location . I really appreciated the character of this building. The kitchen was well equipped, facilities were clean & comfortable. The rooms were lovely but sharing a dorm can mean noise and some disruptive sleep . Worth it to stay in this lovely hostel though.

Can be a bit noisy since it's a traditional house; can hear people talking in other rooms.

Nice private onsen, nice view from the window in the bedroom. Amazing price.

Beautiful building, very nice and comfortable common spaces. Great to have onsen inside and the location is good. You have to keep in mind tho that it’s a typical Japanese old house so the sound isolation is what it is.

A bit dusty - if you had severe dust allergies, I might not recommend this place - not sure if it was from the building or the mattress.

We had a private room overlooking the river, even a little patio. Staff was really friendly and helpful. There was lots of common space to eat, relax, work. Never had an issue with the shared bathroom or shower - was always able to make the timing work. Lovely and affordable way to stay in a real ryokan.

Bathroom was mixed, not a big deal and there were not many western style toilets on the same floor, although I never clashed with anyone.

Great value for private room, the lounge area was cool and there was free tea available. It was very peaceful, and the futons were very comfortable. Despite the thin walls we slept very well in the beautifully decorated room.

1. very far to the supermarket/donki Need to walk 1.5km to donki and it’s the closest supermarket nearby 2. No elevator. I lift my luggage from the floor to 3/F 3. There’s no bed and you just sleeping next to strangers.

1. 10mins to JR station and 2-3mins to bus station 2. Onsen is good (public onsen will be better than the private onsen) 3. The kitchen is complete 4. The common area is excellent, very comfy. 5. The staff is helpful

Onsen, location, rooms, lounge area and kitchen area were all excellent. Easy to get to from Ito station.

It was a bit noisy because of some loud guests but also the wooden construction of the building.

Convenient location, large room and friendly staff

The beds in long run Will destroy my back but still it is what it is, it's traditional way to sleep.

Exellent and awesome at the same time! Tatami floors everywhere make nice quiet feeling. Onsens was awesome. Puplic areas was clean and zen. I hope that the turism dont ruin this nice old place.

The view over the river and the location were both impeccable, super easy to reach from Ito Station and in the most picturesque area, right next to the famous museum which is the main attraction of Ito, along with its Onsens of course.

Beautiful, it was exactly what we were hoping for and more. It felt like we’d gone back in time to old days in Japan. Good location with convenient stores, bars and restaurants within walking distance. We drove here and were able to stay in a public car park across the road for a small price per night. The private and public onsen were also relaxing and cosy.

Loved our stay here. Beautiful historic building, great facilities and friendly staff. We chose to stay in Ito (rather than Hakone) because of this accommodation and were so pleased we did. Access to Hakone was super easy. Fabulous onsen (private and shared). Exceptional value for money.

You can’t get a cheap shared hostel like this anywhere else in Japan. Located in a rejuvenated Ryokan built a hundred years ago, you’ll get to enjoy the old good Japanese style accommodation soaked in the beautiful wood scent with the minimum cost. Plus there is personal furo that you can use for free, if you don’t like the Japanese shared bath.

We had a great time at K's house and enjoyed the nice onsen. We had a large room for 3 of us, Ryokan style with the nice view on the river. The staff was nice and friendly and provided useful info.

Paid parking. But is suppose it is inevitable, the hotel is well located

A very nice, historic building next to the river. Very friendly staff. Nice, spacious public areas to eat and to relax. Next to the river. We'll equipped communal kitchen. Vert nice onsen. Good value for money.
