“Friendly and comfortable - perfect for solo budget travelers exploring northeast Tokyo”
+I traveled for business in the immediate area of Ryokan Nakadaya, so the location was ideal. I stayed for one month. The owner was very friendly and helpful, seeing me off each time I left and greeting me when I returned. He even pushed my luggage all the way to the train station on my way home. The building had very basic shared facilities outside the room (toilets, laundry, shower, microwave, fridge) which were useful and all very clean. Rooms and bedding were cleaned everyday. Air conditioning worked great. The price was reasonable and the area was quiet in the evenings. I'd recommend for solo budget travel if you want to spend time in that area of Tokyo (Ueno/Asakusa/Sky Tree), but not for families or for access to places on the west side of Tokyo.
−It is an older place, so single rooms especially are quite small and lack storage space/drawers/wardrobe. There are no places to keep food in the rooms (and it is impossible to keep cockroaches out of houses in the summer). The common room is also a little small and not very comfortable. I rarely saw anyone using it. The facilites are all located at one end of a long hallway, so sometimes this means a lot of going back and forth carrying things like food or toiletries. The price was a little more than many of the other accommodations in the area.

“convenient placement, furnished with everything a person might need while traveling and an incredible kind owner. can on”
+very convenient placement. there's a supermarket 2 minutes away. same as 7/11, lawson and a post office. the ryokan is clean and the rooms have tatami floors:) the facilities are also kept clean and there's access to washing/drying machines. there are free to borrow towels, which was awesome. there were also multiple power outlets in my room. the owner has helped me figure out where to go and what to see, i'm very thankful it's very near a perfect place to stay while traveling

“Peaceful and private homestay vibe with a personal, long lasting impression by the hosts”
+I booked myself the twin share room and my favourite feature of the room besides the traditional tatami mats were that I had a generous space to organise my clothes. Great value for a single person! There were 2/3 working showers with great water pressure, and a recommendation of single use unlimited towels washed and dried provided by Tatsuo. The place was kept clean and tidy and had daily housekeeping between 10-4pm. The main highlight was Tatsuo and wife Yoshiko's hospitality and tourist recommendation. They welcomed me with warm energy and made me feel at home away from home.
−Since I had a medium term stay, I personally liked to balance between eating out and buying ingredients from the easily accessible supermarkets nearby however the only slight downside was not being able to use the kitchen. It was quite small anyway and I understood it was mainly for personal use for Tatsuo as he was also staying there most days. Nonethless, all guests are provided a communal microwave and fridge to store food and use to eat privately in their room or common area. I stayed for 3 weeks, and found myself missing the use of a kitchen towards the end. I also found that the wooden interior tends to soak up the heat in the summer, so early mornings can feel quite warm quickly in the room

“3 semaines agréables à Tokyo”
+Tatsuo San a été un hôte parfait, toujours souriant, toujours disponible, toujours prêt à donner des informations sur les quartiers à visiter, les points d'intérêt, les bonnes adresses de restaurant. Très attentionné aussi. Le ryokan est très simple mais je m'y suis sentie tout à fait à l'aise, une bonne douche, la possibilité de laver ses vêtements, un petit coin où je pouvais déjeuner si je le désirais. Les moyens de transport sont proches également. Merci Tatsuo San

“An authentic experience with a human touch”
+I was a little bit worried about my first solo trip to Japan, but the host was always happy to share his ideas about things to do or places to visit, which made it a great experience even despite the rainy weather. He even went as far as to watch the anime I've been translating to make a sightseeing route based on its scenes! His genuine love of Tokyo was the clear highlight of the trip, and the stay was very pleasant from start to finish.
−The mosquitos were honestly the only thing I didn't like, and obviously it wasn't the host's fault, but it's still something to keep in mind if you're going to visit Japan around the same season.

“Es war für mich ein Wohlfühlort mit klasse Ausstattung und einem unglaublich tollem Gastgeber”
+Der Gastgeber ist so unglaublich herzlich und hilfsbereit sowie bemüht. Hinzukommt, dass die Unterkunft alles hat was man braucht. Sei es Möglichkeiten um sich essen zu erwärmen, eine saubere und gut funktionierende Dusche, richtig gemütliche Matratzen und sehr gepflegte Bettwäsche. Waschmaschine und Trockner auch. Es ist auch absolut clean in der Unterkunft. Für mich hat es sich ziemlich heimisch angefühlt. Hinzukommt, dass öffentliche Verkehrsmittel sehr nah sind.
−Freche Frage in dem Fall.
