Open from August 2017, Guest House Wagokoro offers a modern Japanese-style accommodation an 8-minute stroll away from JR Nippori Station. Each room comes with an en suite bathroom and toilet.

Guests will find a shared kitchen and living room on site. Private rooms come with a TV, and a Japanese-style garden is featured on site.

This is great location if you're traveling from Narita Airport since it's near Nippori Station and you can take Skyliner so there's no need to change trains while moving with luggage. The same train station makes it accessible to other tourist spots and there are cafes, restaurants, and supermarket nearby. We loved the fusion of modern and traditional aesthetic. Our room was clean and the place is in a quiet and friendly neighborhood. The staff were also very nice and helpful to us. Didn't have chance to take pics but will definitely do when we go back 😊

Situated in Tokyo, 700 metres from Kameari Kochikame Statue, MAKOTO GUESTHOUSE -Enjoy your stay- provides air-conditioned accommodation and a shared lounge. This property is located a short distance from attractions such as Oyata Park, Horyuji Temple, and Katsushika City Museum. The accommodation features evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

You can meet a lot of interesting and friendly people here. It’s a place that makes u feel at home. I mean, when you come back from a whole day’s walk, you can just say tadaima aloud and get responded with a sweet okaeri:) Except for that, the facilities are brilliant, the environment is tidy and clean… So a 100% recommendation for whoever is planning on a trip to Tokyo.

Featuring 2-star accommodation, Oyado Kien Ryogoku is situated in Tokyo, 500 metres from Yokoamicho Park and 500 metres from Tokyo Metropolitan Memorial Hall. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The guest house has family rooms.

The owner was extremely helpful! He gave us recommendations on where to eat (izakayas) and drink when asked! The location is in a nice and quiet location, and of course, next to convinis. There's also a relatively close location for laundry and if you need directions the owner has handouts on the whereabouts. ALSO I LOVE THE OWNER SO MUCH- he offered us cute goodie bags and also offered one of my friends a suitcase because she was carrying around lots of heavy bags 😭

The guest house also offers free use of bicycles. Yokohama is 37 km from Mokkoan, while Chiba is 41 km away. The nearest airport is Tokyo Haneda International Airport, 24 km from Mokkoan.

The couple which run this place are absolutely beautiful people. We were lucky to be the only guests staying for the night and the owner went out of his way to pick us up and drop us off at the station. We felt well accommodated the entire time. The western breakfast they serve is incredible. Our only regret was staying here for just a single night.

Offering quiet street views, hanare is set in the Taito district of Tokyo, 400 metres from Asakura Museum of Sculpture and 400 metres from Kyoouji Temple. The 2-star guest house has air-conditioned rooms with a shared bathroom and free WiFi. The accommodation offers luggage storage space and a concierge service for guests.

I love the core concept of this 'scattered hotel' that encourages guests to engage with the community. From the welcome walking tour of the neighborhood, to a detailed map and restaurant recommendations, to the tickets to the neighborhood bathhouse, I really felt anchored in a sense of place. Breakfast is in a separate building down the road. For a solo traveler, my tatami mat room and adjacent but private toilet (shared shower) were perfect. Neighborhood is lots of fun to explore, and the 'concierge' was so helpful, and warm, and responsive. Wonderful experience.

Open from October 2015, Sato-san's Rest offers accommodation in a shopping arcade in Tokyo's traditional downtown area. It features free WiFi and bicycle rental at an additional charge. Ueno can be reached with a 5-minute train ride while Akihabara is a 10-minute train ride away

Best ever hostel in my opinion. Imagine you came to a strange city, and you are welcomed by a warm family in their house. The house have everything and more than just you basically needed it.

    The cutest little guest house and hostel! The staff (many of whom are volunteers) were so helpful and kind — they go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Everything was kept very clean. I stayed in the all female dorm and it was cozy and quiet at night.

    Great hostel. Super clean. It was very calm and nice, with people being very respectful of one another and I heard absolutely no noise after quiet hours. Bed was supercomfy. Well-equipped kitchen with free coffee. The girl in the reception was wonderful as well, and she helped us with booking tickets to a music festival, even allowing us to use her local telephone number temporarily. (Thank you so much, we got the tickets!!)

    Andon Ryokan is a very hostile, cosy and clean ryokan in an older and more quiet part of Tokyo. The rooms were charming and clean, and the breakfast was really good. A must stay in Tokyo.

    Jij is a great host who made me feel like spending Christmas in a home rather than a guesthouse. After receiving the special-lemon-juice-welcome drink I’ve been shown where to buy delicious Sushi at a cheap price & in the evening everyone gathered around the common table. Definitely my favourite hostel in Tokyo so far.
