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 was our 2nd stay at Wagokoro on this trip, and our last night in Tokyo, so we decided to get a traditional room this time with futons. It was a great decision. We stayed in a room downstairs that looked out onto a small garden area. The futons were set up by one of the wonderful staff while we were out for the evening. It was a very nice experience to arrive back to our beds being ready! The staff were fantastic. There was lots of water and tea available. The location is absolutely perfect, particularly for getting the Keisei Skylink to and from the airport, and the neighbourhood is very quiet. As a bonus, the best bakery (probably on the planet) is a short walk away, so breakfast was easy and always memorable. The only problem with our stay was that we had to leave. Thanks to the excellent staff for everything!

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.

This place is perfect if you wish to socialize with fellow travelers! Very clean place, ample connectivity options, as well as spacious sleeping quarters. Just bring an extra extension cable, as power connections tend to get filled up fast, due to the number of people connecting their laptops to the place. I can't recommend this place enough! Access to the train station is also reasonable and is a 15-minute walk from the guesthouse to Kameari station. Also, if your birthday falls during your stay, the host will celebrate it by setting up a small dinner for you! :D Very personal touch to a very wonderful experience!

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.

This is by far the best hostel I’ve been in Tokyo! Satoshi takes good care of his place, it’s clean, super super well equiped (He literally thought about everything!) He takes time to explain everything in details and makes you feel welcome from the very beginning. He has fresh drinks in the fridge right when you arrive for free available! It makes such a good difference. The space invite you to talk to others and I slept very well ( those noiseproof doors are fabulous!)

    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.
