Ryokan Sawaya Honten

Staff very attentive, not huge amount of English, but very welcoming. Room large and with a flask of hot water provided for tea any time. Public bath was delightful. A good introduction to traditional Japanese hotels, with an explanation book in English to ensure you don’t accidentally cause offence. Mobile device provided in the room which could be used as a hotspot outside the hotel for 300¥ for 24hrs

Great staff, clean and tidy place, big room, enjoyed the bath!

Great location for us, close to martial arts center

Very friendly hosts and beautiful, simple decor. Felt like an authentic Japanese experience. Liked the small touches like socks in the room and hot water premade in a thermos so we could settle in with green tea and little cookies. We didn't use the public baths but the private bath was very clean and relaxing. We're glad that we stayed here even though it was a little out of our budget.

Would like to be able to eat breakfast or have some other accomodations for the price. You basically just get the room.

Fantastic experience! very welcoming staff, went out of their way to help us and answer questions. No problem with English. The bath was so nice! Location is very quiet, futon very comfortable, wonderful tea and snacks. Very spacious - an oasis from the crowds of Tokyo. The best part of our experience in Japan - very traditional. Reservations were made for us at restaurants and transportation arranged for us too. We loved this place
