A recently renovated property, 波奈 浅草 Hana Asakusa ーSkyTree前駅まで徒歩5分ー is situated in Tokyo near Hatonomachidori Shopping Street, Tsukada Kobo and Aizome Museum. The guest house, set in a building dating from 1970, is 1.2 km from Kamejimashogakko Memorial Park and 1.3 km from Sumida Cultural Museum. Ushijima Shrine is 1.4 km away and Tobu Museum is 1.4 km from the guest house.

The house structure is interesting (in a good way) We got all the amenities like in the hotels. Everything is clean. We had our first experience on Tatami flooring & how to lay a futon. Unlike other self check-in home stay, Kazuki-san is very friendly that he greeted us himself and we had a small chat which I feel warmly welcomed.

I can't say enough good things about this experience! The host, who told me to call him Ash, makes his hostel feel like a home away from home. It's no wonder people come back. Everything is so thought out and labeled in Japanese and English with great care. I had never stayed at a hostel before and it felt wonderful to stay here; I felt very safe, comfortable, and at peace. It was smaller which made it quieter and very peaceful. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have stayed somewhere where I looked forward to coming home to. Everything felt very personable. I got help with anything I needed. I can't say enough good things It was easy to find what I needed, I felt very safe, everything was super clean, I felt cared for, and it felt like a very personalized experience. I liked that it was affordable and that the host seemed to care about me as an individual person, not just someone using the service. I had some trouble with the booking/ made mistakes and he was very communicative and helped me out. He went above and beyond with helping me with my luggage and was very patient with me. That felt very comforting in a country that I was going to for the first time and couldn't speak the language. Also the location was about 30 minutes by train for everything that I wanted to go do/see. I felt safe as a solo female traveler walking around at night. Thanks again!

Great location. Only 10 mins on metro from the airport for 200Yen. Ideal for late arrival if picking up a car as car offices close at 8pm and this is a 5 min walk from Times. Owner has fluent English and is very commutative and helpful prior to arrival with transport tips. Comfortable and warm rooms. All kitchen and bathroom facilities including a hair dryer. A great way to settle in after just arriving.

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.

In 28 years in Japan, I think this was the best place I’ve ever stayed. I was there for 3 nights. Mr. and Mrs. Ito were incredibly kind. They thought of every single detail, going far beyond what I expected. It was a wonderful experience and I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed and appreciated it. I would give them a score of 100 if I could.

    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.
