I'm a bigger girl and couldn't really fit in the toilet space

The place was absolutely lovely and the host very nice and helpful. Room was also nice and spacious. Location was great too!

Due to the proper traditional design of the property, there were no bidets in the barthrooms which was a problem for me but otherwise it was perfect as the showers had adjustable temperatures as well.

The property gave a very traditional Japanese style vibe, perfect if you’re into experiencing a ryokan. The owner was very friendly and helpful, he helped me safe keep an item that I left behind until my friend picked it up. Highly recommend this stay.

There was a construction adjacent to the property when I was there but frankly, I didn’t mind that much.

The host is very welcoming and very kind. You can ask him if you are not familiar with the place and he will guide you.

If the whole premise can be more ventilated, would be perfect.

1. Price Luckily I got very great price with cute room. 2. Location A few mins away from the Tawaramachi subway station and tourism places. Also, I have found amazing bakery, restaurants and supermarkets around with fantastic price. 3. Owner He can speak very great English and is willing to help. 4. Maintenance It’s old place but well managed. It’s good to have an experience what you can have only in Japan. I’m from Korea, and still the house looked very unique for me.

The room is a bit old and noisy when there're people walking outside.

The location is good. The host let us leave our luggages here for two days till we back to Tokyo.

My room did not have windows and the sink to wash your hands / face only had cold water, but it was easily solvable by using the shower instead (which gets hot quickly and you can regulate the temperature). The comments about the noise are true, but I did not have any trouble sleeping

Lovely traditional Ryokan, perfect for an authentic experience. The room has air conditioning, so it gets quite comfortable even in winter. The owner was always very helpful and kept my luggage both before check in and after check out. Location is great, very close to the metro station and to the main Asakusa attractions. Many restaurants, cafes and convenience stores near by.

No bidet.

Great no-frills Ryokan at the heart of the city. Property is a bit old but very comfortable.

It is a discomfort to Malaysian when there is no bidet around toilet bowl. The floor board in the corridor creaks and cracks when walk upon, but that's the way of a traditional house. This is not a complaint, just to serve as a reminder to all the princes and princesses out there.

Stay here to have an authentic experience of Japanese traditional house. The helpful owner is able to commune with decent English. Sensoji, Sumida River and the view point of Tokyo Skytree are just around the corner. Taking photos of those places without any other visitors was very easy when staying here.

Host was amazing

Initially I thought the risk of being in an old building would be lack of sound-proofing between rooms, and had decided to chance it with earplugs. This was actually fine. However, the real challenge was sleeping on a vibration-prone floor, should the other guests decide to stomp about til an ungodly hour. As long as they don't, it's not an issue, and if you are a firm sleeper, or a late-night stomper yourself, do not let these things deter you (but please practice walking lightly), however I feel this should be noted for the particularly sensitive. Perhaps there could be some signage for the well-hidden showers, as another guest tried repeatedly to get into my room at midnight looking for them (proving that the door latch may look flimsy but is actually quite effective).

Excellent location near the metro and tourist attractions, friendly staff, very interesting experience and atmosphere staying in a traditional house, bedding is warm and comfortable, facilities are adequate and clean. I was pleasantly surprised at how spacious the single room was. Overall I would recommend it.

The pillows were like small bean bags and not very comfortable.

Comfortable, small room. Good, basic shared facilities all with Japanese charm. And a pleasant, attentive host.

The shared sink only has cold water, no hot water

Great location

The Futon was a bit thin and not very comfortable

The location was perfect!

There is a small space for hanging your clothes after doing your laundry so time your load accurately so there will be space for your clothing. The toilet room is quite small (the womens) although very clean and perfectly usable, just squishy

Our stay at Taito Ryokan was 7 nights long and in the height of the summer heat (from 23rd August) The ryokan is a beautiful building with lovely wooden floors and windows, and traditional tatami rooms where we slept on futon under the air con. During our stay the communal bathroom was pretty quiet most of the time and the showers are located on a lower floor to the rooms and other bathroom. We appreciated Mr. Satoshi's daily routine of cleaning the communal spaces, although we didn't spend much time in them due to the extreme heat and the lack of air conditioning outside of the guests rooms. For this reason we would enter our room immediately after arriving home, greeted by Mr.Satoshi each time which is nice. The location of Taito Ryokan is excellent; we loved the Asakusa neighbourhood because it isn't too busy or central, but still has the city charm we loved. Conveniently located near multiple train station and bus stops (I loved the Tokyo buses, definitely use their system) Overall we had a great time at the Taito Ryokan in the privacy of our space room for three. Each room in our accommodation afterwards felt small in comparison! Thank you Mr.Satoshi and Asakusa.

First time in a Ryokan so bedding was not what I expected. Could have had a better duvet. Wifi was quite slow at times. Very noisy when streets are busy, no sound protection whatsoever, bring earplugs.

The location was excellent, right in the heart of Asakusa. Everything was within walking distance. AC was excellent.

Not much could be better for the price. We got exactly what we expected for the cost and were very happy with that :-) Lovely area to get to stay in at a great price, and in a traditional ryokan style as well.

Great feel for the price, great area to stay in as well. Bed was slightly to uncomfortable at arrival, but after asking for extra layer for futon the host fixed this immediately and I slept very well after that.

Friendly host and lovely tatami rooms with Futon and great aircon

If you're tall like us, take care of not bumping your head and the sinks being low down! Absolutely fine, but good to know.

The Ryokan has a lovely traditional vibe in the middle of a bustling city. The surrounding area is a great tourist and culture spot, and the ryokan fits right into it. The age of the building makes it feel lived and homely. It is super clean and well taken care of. The host, Satoshi-san is extremely friendly and helpful! We could really wind down here!

Maybe it could be a bit more soundproof...

We liked the traditional ambient very much, and the location is excellent!
