Kimi Ryokan Review

A long-running budget ryokan north-west of Ikebukuro Station, with tatami rooms and shared bathrooms.

Why it stands out

It is the cheapest of our Tokyo picks and still a tatami room rather than a bunk, which is a rarer combination than it sounds.

Main trade-off

Bathrooms are shared and rooms are simple; this is a guesthouse in the old sense, not a hotel.

Why we recommend it

Best on a small budget

The cheapest of our Tokyo picks and still a tatami room with shared bathrooms rather than a bunk, north-west of Ikebukuro Station.
