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 cannot stop recommending this place! I booked Hanare for my very first stay in Japan. And I am sooo happy I did so! Th atmosphere of the place is very calm and relaxing. There are meditative sounds in the hallway and the place smells like wood! Perfect to wind down after a 20 h flight! I also don’t know what they put in the water but my hair and skin looked so healthy after the shower. The staff, both Momo and Nana are extremely friendly and helpful. I had a technical issue with booking and they resolved it all so quick and kind for me. Thank you once more for this!! Also they contacted me for a forgotten item which I picked up upon my later return to Tokyo. The neighbourhood is also simply amazing for a first introduction into the city and country. Momo recommended me a great sushi place where I ate the first evening. It felt like I was in a movie! I loved it so much I also came back after 3 weeks travelling Japan and had once again one of the best dinners of my stay! If I ever have the chance to come back I definitely want to book this again.

    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.
