About 500 metres from JR Koiwa Train Station, Ryokan Fuji offers traditional Japanese-style accommodation with tatami floors, futon bedding and shoji paper screens. Free in-room broadband internet is provided.

I had a lovely stay in a traditional Japanese room. Normal western hotels are boring, you're in Japan after all. The host speaks some English (which really is not a given here at all) and he was very friendly. The futon was comfortable and I had no back problems at all. It's 20-35 minutes away by train from the major attractions, but for the price I'm not complaining. The train station is 5 minutes away anyway, so it wasn't even a problem.

    We stayed one night at this hotel in a family room due to an early morning flight. The family room was well set-up, with a tatami area where the futons were rolled up until we needed them. There are also 2 twin beds. The hotel is connected to Terminal 3 and a shopping center, so finding dinner was not a problem. The highlight was the Japanese onsen with 5 indoor pools and 3 outdoor pools. It was a nice soak before the long flight to finish our holiday.

    Perfect traditional hotel. For an affordable price, you get a bath, an onsen, a tatami floor, and futon beds. The hotel itself is not heated but you can heat your room. There was no breakfast but there is a conbini right near the hotel. On the first floor, there is a microwave and a water cooker. We loved this hotel.

    The ryokan is centrally located in Ueno and convenient for the University of Tokyo. It's a ryokan, so you get a low futon and tatami mats on the floor. They also provide you with a yukata to wear indoors. The owners are lovely, and arranged a late check-in for me without any difficulty. It is excellent value for the price.

    The ryokan has charming traditional tatami rooms, pretty artwork and a jacuzzi as part of the facilities. I found the futon mattress and pillows very comfortable and slept really well. Everything seems to be designed with high attention to detail. The family of the owners are friendly and helpful. But the most exciting aspect of my stay has been the delicious home-cooked breakfasts. Both variety, quality and presentation were impeccable.
