Kitazawa Cozy House is situated in the Setagaya district of Tokyo, 700 metres from Kitazawa Hachiman Shrine, 700 metres from Shinganji Temple and 1.4 km from Museum of Modern Japanese Literature. The property is set 1.8 km from Komaba Museum, 2.1 km from Shosen-ji Temple and 2 km from Hanegi Park. Ikejiri Inari Shrine is 2.3 km from the guest house.

Our stay here was exceptional. We were warmly greeted by the host, who speaks fantastic English. The accomodation is the entire 2nd floor and is very roomy. Something about the atmosphere of the house encourages good, sound sleep. "Cozy house" is exactly right. The location is also fantastic... a quick walk to the station, but set in a quiet, relaxing neighbourhood. Highly recommended for families or anyone wanting a traditional, relaxing accomodation option.

Bike hire is available at this guest house and the area is popular for cycling. Oedo Onsen Monogatari is 8 km from HISAYO'S INN, while Fuji TV Odaiba is 9 km from the property. The nearest airport is Tokyo Haneda International Airport, 3 km from HISAYO'S INN.

Hisayo-san is one of the best hosts I’ve ever met! She is super interesting to talk to and her view on different topics made me learn lots! Really enjoyed our conversations with some Umeshu 🥰 She is very kind and attentive. The property was extremely clean and well kept. The bed was comfortable and cozy, perfect for winter. It was right next to the station too so getting there was really easy. It’s really close to Haneda Airport so I recommend it for people that like convenience.

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

The hosts are very nice. The place is clean and overall a great choice. Be careful regarding the address, if you put it in google maps you’ll only get the general area, use the directions in booking.

    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.
