If you want a good ryokan experience in Tokyo, this is the place. It's in the quiet, pedestrianised temple area of Asakusa, close to the markets and metro station. There are western rooms too, but if you want a more authentic Japanese experience you will get bamboo floor matting, paper shutters, unbelievably cosy futon beds, kimono robes, a low table and cushions and fresh green tea and rice crackers every day. Even the Japanese rooms have a small western-style bathroom with a shower, and the ryokan serves a traditional Japanese breakfast. The highlight however, are the hot baths on the fifth floor. Steam your travel troubles away while you lie back and gaze out over the golden illuminated temples and night skyline. Very friendly and helpful staff too.
