“A traditional guesthouse in a quiet neighbourhood. Simple rooms have roll down futons, tatami matting, large windows and almost nothing else. Bathrooms are shared. The lounge area is a more contemporary affair with new-age furniture and bold colours. A friendly base for travellers on a budget.”

Andon Ryokan

Sleep on a futon in this modern take on a traditional ryokan inn, with budget rooms and friendly service in residential eastern Tokyo. Get a glimpse of pre-boom Tokyo life in this neighbourhood of low-rise homes and cycling grannies. Popular among backpackers, not least because it serves western breakfasts.
