Top choice
"About 2km north of Asakusa in the Sanya area, the minimalist and modern Andon Ryokan is fabulously designed in form and function." Full review
"Enjoy the free tea and coffee here while taking in the compact design of this ultramodern ryokan."
"It bills itself as ‘Tokyo's first designer ryokan’, but you'd probably do better to think of Andon as a high-end backpacker hostel." Full review

"An updated version of a traditional ryokan, this is a small inn with only 24 rooms--all filled with antiques hand-selected by the owner." Full review
7.0
