It seems this place gets mixed reviews. I guess it depends on what you were expecting. We spent one night as Toukaiso and then returned for our final 5 days in Tokyo. Both times we stayed in the same room. The bed was comfy, the bath (Japanese style) and toilet was clean. The room had a slight musty smell, but... More

This was our second stay at Toukaiso. The staff can't do enough to help you with everything you need and make you feel beyond welcome. Such a personal experience. Asakusa is a great little area of Tokyo to stay. Has the old Japan feel still. 2 metro stations 5 mins walk away, Amazing selection of restaurants and bars close by... More

Stayed here with my daughter for 6 nights and all I can say is that it was a nightmare. The place was dirty- and I have a sensitive sense of smell, so the rank stench was almost unbearable. The lights outside on the street shone in all night long- the room was tiny tiny, the floor hard as a rock... More

We loved this ryokan. Each room had a little tv and tea set, robes and slippers. We got a great nights sleep because the place is off the main street in asakusa. Very close to transport, attractions and restaurants. We will go back!

Would have been nice but turned out to be my worst stay ever. My room was full of bedbugs, which i noticed after my second night. After long arguing the staff agreed to change my sheets, did not even tell me they were sorry. Horrible experience, after two week I still can see about 20 bites on my legs, i... More

This little place is one of my all time favourite places to stay in the World purely because of the wonderful, friendly staff and top notch location. I recently returned to the Toukaisou after first staying there 5 years previously during my first trip to Tokyo. Both stays have been equally as great and I can not fault this place!... More

This ryokan, in the heart of Asakusa, is the friendliest place we have stayed in Japan. Our room was a ensuite double, of a reasonable size and airconditioning. The rooms are Japanese-style with tatami floors. The bed was also very comfortable. In addition, the toilet and shower rooms are separate, which can be quite convenient! The staff working on reception... More

We stayed here twice, before and after a trip to Tohoku, and had a different twin room each time. Our suitcases were held there during our time away at no cost, and they even took them upstairs ready for our arrival. The room for the first 3 nights was on the ground (first) floor, and the last 8 nights were... More

I chose this place mainly based on its location and the price, and I got exactly what I expected. The location is about 5 minutes walk from the closest station, and is close to many eateries, shops and the famous Sensoji Temple. Its about 5-10mins walk down to the Sumida River. I stayed in a single room with its own... More
