Hotels near Kinrin-ji Temple, Tokyo

The location is great, just a short walk from the northeast exit of JR Oji Station. The room was small, but had everything you need. Matsuya and a convenience store are nearby. The hotel also includes breakfast, which is simple but delicious, with a variety of rice balls, three types of soup, two types of bread, three types of fruit and vegetable juice, and coffee. Overall, it's a very cost-effective hotel.

Facilities: Decent, relatively new. Hygiene: Acceptable. Environment: The room layout was a bit strange; the air conditioning didn't reach the bed area, making it a bit cold. Convenient transportation. Service: Check-in and check-out were very fast.

A very nice hotel to stay if your live venue is at Akabane ReNY alpha. The free breakfast is also a plus poiny as I don't need to think what to eat for breakfast.

I liked this place. A pretty standard classic capsule hotel: sizeable capsule with a console, daily turnover service, large shower and onsen room with an attached steam room. Service was good: they have an army of twinks working there after hours, it was like being checked in by BTS. All issues I had with my capsule (broken lightbulb) were addressed quickly and cheerfully. Sometimes it kinda seemed like they were laughing at a few of the foreign guests, but you know what, fair. This place is kinda rules heavy, with lots of notices posted around the property. There is no eating or drinking in the capsules, and instead you have to go to this common area that feels a bit like a hospice for abandoned uncles. Vending machines, manga library, smoking cubicles, that sorta thing. Clean and tidy though, equal numbers of dudes using it for remote working and day drinking (I have a feeling that some ppl live in this place). They have the usual elaborate system of lockers and keys, but they will store your luggage for you while you are out. No need to check out in the day. Overall a chill experience. While I was staying there though some dude did have a mini breakdown about what he saw as it's shortcomings, so I just wanted to comment on that. According to him the place was disgusting. He was especially perturbed by the housekeeping service and the showers. His claim was the the toilets were dirty and that it was unacceptable to fold bedsheets on the floor. Mind you, he was having this rant at 10:30 - checkout is at 10:00, meaning that a whole stampede of airport-bound weebs had just taken spicy ramen fuelled power dumps so they could get out of there on time. Most of the day the facilities were pretty spotless in my opinion. In regards to folding the bedsheets on the floor, I dunno what in the Disney princess he was expecting, but there really isn't anywhere else to do it. I think it's unreasonable to expect little doves to come fly your linens into your capsule tbh. The capsules are literally on... the floor! What do you want? His overall complaint that the space was generally messy was a lot more valid. At this point I had a suspicion that they kind of segregated foreigners from Japanese customers. It's true, that the foreign floor was a bit of a tip - luggage thrown around, empty bottles everywhere, garbage. I went up to the Japanese floors to snoop around a bit. Spotless. (Pictures of both included for comparison) In this case I think the call is coming from inside the capsule, not really fair to hold the staff accountable to your own messy manners. His final gripe was about the showers - specifically the lack of private cubicles. Private cubicles were not advertised anywhere and Japanese onsens are pretty standardly communal spaces, so again I dunno what he wanted. Maybe a shower, with a curtain? Maybe a shower with a door? Maybe a shower with a psychic forcefield that would make his ex girlfriends forget his underwhelming junk and prevent his father from behind disappointed in him? I'm not sure. But I guess the dozen shower stations with soap, shampoo, and face wash weren't cutting it. In fact a lot of the Western guests seemed pretty pranged out by the shower situation, waiting until like two am to wash up and then scurrying around the baths with a hand towel infront of their package like a little purse. If you regret going bald, that's on you. Kinda silly, but if you are bashful maybe this also isn't the hotel for you. Unreasonable though to blame the establishment for you own shame. Anyway, that's all to say the worst part of my stay was for sure the ranting and raving from an unshowered backpacker while I was trying to have a lie in. Otherwise a pretty decent stay.

Back for a few days, finally got some time to write my thoughts. First of all, a huge thank you to the host for all the help! I stayed for 9 nights. Location: It's in a residential area, so you can't compare it to a hotel, but it's very close to the JR station, making it super convenient to get to all the main tourist spots (for example, Shinjuku is just over a 10-minute train ride away). Amenities: The unit is small but well-equipped (if you want to experience local life, this is definitely a top choice). Surroundings: Located near transport (Jujo Station), making getting around easy. There's a main shopping street near Jujo Station, which can meet all your daily needs for food, clothing, and living. Service: Although it's not a hotel and doesn't offer daily cleaning service, this doesn't affect short-term travel stays. The host was incredibly warm and provided very thoughtful suggestions and assistance (the host auntie was very kind; on the last day, seeing I was a young woman, she was worried I'd get lost. She provided a cart and helped me and my heavy luggage to the further Higashi-Jujo Station, saving me the hassle of transferring trains – she was a huge help). The only thing is that Japanese guesthouses often don't have elevators, so carrying luggage up and down can be a bit strenuous. However, if you notify them in advance, the host can arrange for someone to help. It feels like the host will do their best to accommodate reasonable requests. I think this guesthouse is very humane and thoughtful. Next time I travel to Tokyo, I'll definitely stay here again. It offers excellent value for money.

The staff were very kind and helpful, which made my stay feel very secure and comfortable. The amenities were also excellent and plentiful. I was pleasantly surprised by the complimentary ochazuke (rice with tea) service in the evening – it was delicious!

Not far from the exit of Akabane Iwabuchi subway station, it is very convenient to take the subway Namboku Line, but it is indeed a bit far from the city center and a long way from JR Akabane Station. There is also a convenience store not far away. Toyoko's quality control is very good. Although it is small, it has everything. You can also get disposable toothpaste, toothbrushes and other supplies in the lobby. I personally like their breakfast the most, which makes people feel very happy. But please note that there are no disposable slippers. The slippers in the guest rooms are recyclable.

The hotel is 5 mins walk from Sugamo Station that has both subway and JR trains, which makes it a good area to live in. There are shops and restaurants all around. The hotel is clean and provides free bottles of water, though the water from the tap is suitable for drinking. The staff is friendly and helpful, both English speaking and non-English speaking.

Check-in later than 10:00, contact the owner in advance and it was successful. It was only 800 for three nights, which was a good deal. At first I thought it was a bit far from the subway station, but after getting used to it, it was okay, about 10-15 minutes

The bunk beds gave me a sense of being out of the ordinary, and the facilities were clean and functional, so I would definitely stay here again if I had the chance! Some people might be concerned about not knowing if the air conditioning was working, and that check-in and check-out are done via tablet, so you can't leave your luggage before check-in, but overall I was very satisfied. There was no bathtub, but I was happy that the toilet and bath were separate. Thank you very much.
