Oyado Kien Ryogoku Tokyo — Hotel in Tokyo

Oyado Kien Ryogoku was by far the best accommodation in our 2 week trip to Japan.

The hotel is about a 15 minute walk from Ryogoku station (and access to the rest of Tokyo via JR lines), 6 minutes from the Sumida Hokusai Museum and about 20 minutes away from the Tokyo Skytree via bus. There is both a Lawson and FamilyMart a few houses away, so getting meals is extremely easy and cheap. These meals can be heated in the communal kitchen (which also features free tea and coffee!).

Most importantly, Tanaka-san was a phenomenal host throughout our entire stay, not only giving us detailed maps of the local Ryogoku and Sumida area, but also providing free laundry services and keeping everything clean with daily towel replacements. Thanks to the housekeeping rules he laid out to all guest clearly, the hotel was very quiet past 11pm and sleeping was uninterrupted. Tanaka-san is friendly, approachable and was able to navigate the language barrier sufficiently to make our stay pleasant.

The rooms were comfy and the communal bathrooms ensured the rooms remained hygienic. The only issue I had was the small shower on the third floor, although I was able to use it just fine once I...

We stayed here for a week and had an amazing time!

Tanaka-san was the best host. He was so kind and helpful! We had the best time in Tokyo thanks to him and all his help and advice!

The rooms were big for Tokyo and the airconditioning were the best, especially with the heat going on. It was very clean as well! We got fresh towels daily and could leave our trash at the door. There's also an opportunity to do your laundry as well.

The location is great! It's close to the metro station, about a small 10 minute walk. It's also close to the Tokyo Skytree.

It's also in the center of tokyo and easy to get to all the different prefectures.

Tanaka-san was amazing as a host and helped us out whenever we asked for advice or help. He helped us with figuring out how the luggage service worked and gave us advice for a fun trip to a mt Fuji viewpoint. He also got us snacks for the Shinkansen and we are very grateful to him!

Thank you...

✅Amazing Location!!!!! A Lawson (convenience store) is across the street & a Family Mart is 3 houses down (Yes, i counted) ✅Walking distance to TWO SUBWAY LINES! Ones on the tokyo metro line while the other is under JR lines! Perfection!! 🤩 ✅Bus stops within 5 minutes incase you want to save $$ and take a bus instead of the subway ✅STELLAR HOSTS! He answered every single question i had… some of them were albeit silly… 🫡Thankyou very much Mr. Tanaka-san ! Fresh towels every morning! Extremely clean spaces ! ✅AMENITIES?? I WANT TO TAKE THE BLANKETS HOME. THEY ARE SO FLUFFY, CLOUD-LIKE ETHEREAL SOFTNESS. The shampoos and conditioners were top tier!!

They.. tucked… my cat plush toy in like a baby while cleaning the room 🥹 I placed him ontop of the pillow and came back to find him snug under the blanket. I think that is enough to attest to the host’s hospitality. Even your plushies are...
