perfect base for exploring tokyo's hidden gems

Staying here was a delight, just a short stroll to Gotanda Station made it super easy to discover amazing local eateries and nearby attractions like Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa and the beautiful Koyasan Tokyo Betsuin Temple, which were only about a kilometer away. the traditional atmosphere added a special touch to my experience.

b No breakfast options

Just a five-minute walk to Gotanda Station, Ryokan Sansuiso was our comfortable retreat in Tokyo. The room was spacious with clean tatami mats and cozy futons, which really enhanced the traditional Japanese experience. I loved the hot bath tub in the shower room that always came pre-filled with warm water, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The owner and staff were exceptionally helpful, assisting with our luggage and providing great dining recommendations nearby. The location was ideal. we easily accessed popular spots like Shibuya and Shinjuku from the nearby station. However, the sound of trains passing by was disruptive at night, particularly in rooms facing the station. While it was easy to overlook this due to the overall charming atmosphere, it’s definitely something to consider if you're sensitive to noise. The lack of a breakfast option was also a bit inconvenient, but the many eateries close by easily made up for this.

good access to meguro river, walkable distance to Gotanda station, modern and updated shared bathrooms

The train noise can be a nuisance, especially during the night!!! A bit more soundproofing between rooms would be nice!!! Also, the futons weren't the most comfortable for someone who prefers a firm mattress!!!

ryokan sansuiso is an excellent place for a stay! it's ideally located just a short walk from gotanda jr station, making it super convenient to explore. the staff were genuinely warm and helpful, even offering to hold our luggage for the day after check-out. the shared bathrooms were always pristine, adding to the comfort after long days of walking.

100% recommend

A Hidden Gem in Tokyo for Solo Travelers!

My short stay was delightful! The owner offered fantastic tips for local eateries just steps away, making breakfast a breeze. Don't miss out on the delightful nearby shops for quick bites. Although the shared bathrooms can feel busy, they are impeccably clean. Bring earplugs if you're light sleepers!

the common bathtub filled with hot water was so relaxing after a long day.

The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and offered a great atmosphere that honored traditional Japanese aesthetics. Friendly hosts introduced guests to local customs and provided helpful tips about nearby eateries, including delightful vegetarian dishes. However, the shared bathrooms, while clean, occasionally felt crowded, and there were no cooking facilities available, which limited meal options. Despite these minor setbacks, the overall experience felt cozy and welcoming in a quiet neighborhood, just a short walk to the train station.

the sinks and toilets were shared (a bit inconvenient), but the atmosphere is cozy and the staff is super friendly. the hot bath in the shower room was amazing, and they provided fresh green tea daily. great location near the park.

great stay,, but noise might disturb sensitive sleepers

The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. The staff provided an early check-in which helped me rest after a long flight. I also appreciated the charming traditional atmosphere, which was enhanced by the owner speaking English and offering helpful tips on local dining spots.

The train noise can be bothersome at night.

Great location near Gotanda Station, with a charming atmosphere that truly captures the essence of traditional Japanese hospitality. The room was clean, cozy, and equipped with air conditioning and free WiFi. The staff were welcoming and always willing to help with any inquiry.

No cooking facilities.

The check-in process, the shared bathrooms, the available amenities was simply superb.

It was just a strong match for a quick weekend visit in Tokyo with good price-value balance. The owner was incredibly friendly and gave great tips on where to eat nearby. Bring a sound machine if you’re sensitive to noise from the trains.
