  I came over to Japan for the Rugby World Cup and needed accommodation in Tokyo. I wanted to experience the real Japanese guest houses so I chose Sawanoya. I was looking forward to staying in a ryokan. I was not disappointed. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and tidy. The hot bath was a welcome luxury. It is in a good location amongst the narrow streets of old Tokyo with lots of things to do within walking distance. A true gem.

• Amazing stay !

  We had a great time in this ryokan. The staff was really nice and helpful, the room was clean, confortable and beautiful, and it was so great to have a bath in the evening after a long day of visit ! The location is also great, in a central and peaceful neighbourhood.

• Lovely Ryokan in good location

  We stayed here with our four young children at the start of our trip to Japan. The location is very central (easy access to Ueno and Yanaka and to central Tokyo). The owners are exceptionally friendly, helpful and courteous. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the futons comfortable. All in all I don't believe we could have found a better place to start our Japanese holiday.

• Ryokan Sawanoya is the best place I stayed in Japan

  Both me and my mother liked staying in this ryokan very much and would like to stay there again if we have a chance to visit Tokyo again. The rooms are very cosy and the staff is friendly. If you use a JR Pass, it may be a bit difficult to find the ryokan at first but the way is rich in temples and there is much to see, so it's worth walking all the way. However, it is close to Nezu Station. I think that staying in this ryokan will give you a real taste of Japan, that's why I absolutely recommend it.
