DK Eyewitness "Designated as an “important cultural property” is this atmospheric old wooden ryokan with a Japanese garden."
Time Out "This wonderful old ryokan in the sleepy streets of Hongo looks just like a Japanese inn ought to: wooden, glass-fronted and with an ornamental garden at the front." Full review

Be sure to pick up the hotel's sightseeing leaflets at the concierge's desk, which give information on the city's top attractions, opening hours, and how to reach them from the hotel.
DK Eyewitness "This top-of-the-range business hotel close to the Kabuki-za Theater is now a popular wedding reception venue."
Star Service "Just south of the city's busiest shopping area, 200 m southwest of the Higashi-Ginza subway station, this property, built in 1987, is behind Matsuzakaya department store and near the Kabuki theater." Full review

The staff is attentive and well-trained, and management goes so far as to publish tourist leaflets to major attractions, which are given away free at the concierge desk (although placing special requests in advance may be difficult as the minimal staff is quite busy).

"It's a big, largely impersonal hotel, but it's comprehensive in scope with a Japanese restaurant, American restaurant, bars, full-scale gym, and small shops." Full review
