Homeikan Reviews

We spend 2 nights at Homeikan. The first one was excellent, in a nice room in the nice main building with the 24hours bath, then with no reason we have been moved to the annex building, not as nice as the first one, with the bath open only in the end of afternoon for few hours so we didn't have a chance to enjoy it cause we were in the city visiting all day. We had to pay the same price for not the same quality of service. Tough the main building is great

A bit out of the way but once you find it, you'll be glad you did. A lovely Japanese style inn with a beautiful garden. Very quiet. We loved it! Nice neighborhood.

My mate and I had an incredible stay. An authentic Japanese experience, sleeping on tatami mats, shared bathing, traditional food. Such beautiful and charming staff. Highly recommended. The hostel while a little out of the way, is only a short stroll to some very cool bars and places to eat.

Thank you for a wonderful holiday. The hotel and service were excellent and such great value for money. We're so glad we booked to stay.

Our stay at Homeikan in Tokyo, Japan was brilliant the staff where very helpful and we are heading back there again in the near future so I'm guessing thats enough to be said.

What better way to spend a few days for my first trip in Japan than in this traditional ryokan experience. I loved the Japanese-style shower and bath and was missing that warm, relaxing bath when I moved to a different location. The staff was so hospitable and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and the tea room and robes provided made for a wonderful way to spend some relaxing time in the room. Thank you for everything and I hope to return again soon!

This is the second time I have stayed at Homeikkan. I love the place. I hope to stay there every time I come to Japan. This is about as close as I will ever come to living in a traditional Japanese house in a regular Tokyo neighborhood. The staff is exceptionally kind and attentive. If a person is drawn to wood, tatami mats, sliding screens and doesn't want to feel like he or she is staying in a museum, then this really is a great choice.

The map was terrible - I got lost a number of times and even when I asked a local she couldn't read it either! I felt like I wasn't really wanted there

The hostel is close to Tokyo University so that we enjoyed lunch in the cafeteria in the campus which is not expensive. The closest station is on the line of SOUTH_NORTH which does not go to the heart area and we had to transfer but overall it\'s convenient cause the metro in TOKYO is well developed>

The staffs are so helpful and friendly, I hope to come to Homeikan again next time I'm in Tokyo! Take care Ito-san and Minori-san!!

Man ... this place is the best. It is located outside of Kyoto up in the mountains. So if you like to have a stay in the nature for a while this is the place to go. The room, food and staff is the best. In the sourounding there is som very nice temples and hiking areas. The hotell is a little more expensive than the cheapest hostels but it is defently worth the money. The bus takes 15 min to Kyoto.

This traditional Japanese style hotel is excellent. The traditional style bathrooms are great, the staff very friendly and helpful (although their English isn't wonderful, they make themselves understood), and only a 10 minute walk from them metro station. I would definitely recommend this to anybody who wants to stay in Tokyo.

I loved it ! My only regret is to have stayed only two nights and being very busy. Not for people who don`t know anything about Japan and ryokans. So grumpy British and Americans, go to the western style hotel ! Not very good neither for people liking night clubs and coming back to the hotel late as this is a traditional, quiet place. Highly recommended for people who love Japan and Japanese hospitality. Nice Japanese bath, Japanese style breakfast, good value for money.

Nice example of a Ryokan. Very quiet. Public bathrooms. Good if travelling with friends. Staff dont speak brilliant English but try their best to help you out.

Only place I will stay when I am in Tokyo.

Staying with Homeikan is the nice experience for me ,There was the very warmth welcome and good treating n service during our stay. It is worth our money and we will for sure visit there again next time.

Our host Ito was terrific.

We missed them already.

The room and overall ambience was nice and very traditional. Only real complaints were the door to the bathroom was a bit tricky to open and my heater did make odd beeping noises after being on for a while (probably due to overheating) so I couldn't leave it on all night. But these were small concerns and I had a great time. The staff were also very friendly and did their best to use English.

Wonderful Ryokan for a retreat in the heart of old Tokyo. Peaceful atmosphere and affable employees. Highly recommended venue.
