Guest Reviews

• Aman (10/5): Amazing stay would recoomend. - Great location and great room, had an excellent stay at kainoa guesthouse. Would recommend for those going on holiday in tokyo. Room was clean and very spacious!
• gerard (8/5): - Communicatie met eigenaar verliep perfect. We werden opgehaald bij de bushalte. De lokatie is vlak bij een station aan de ringlijn van Tokyo zodat alle lokatie makkelijk en snel te berieken waren.
• Nawel (10/5): - Super quartier très familial et dynamique. Offre toutes les commodités à pieds. Metro pas loin pour rejoindre rapidement les points touristiques de Tokyo. Logement tout confort dans une rue calme. Hôte à l’écoute et disponible.
• Daniela (1/5): - Nada
• Ivana (10/5): -
• Jacob (10/5): 10/10, will stay here again next time I’m in Tokyo - Clean, quiet, and spacious rooms with gigantic comfortable beds. The owners are able to speak English and are very accommodating if you need help. This place is on par with hotels that cost 2x as much! My only complaint would be that you don’t get towel replacements unless you contact the owners to ask for more. If you’re ok with reusing the same towel this won’t be an issue for you; but if you do need new towels for health or hygiene reasons be sure to let the owners know in advance.

• Emrullah (6/5): Konaklama için yeterli sakin ve metroya 8-10 dk yürüme mesafesinde fakat temizlik ve müşteri ile iletişim konusu yeterli - Konum güzel, odanın büyüklüğü de yeterliydi bizim için. otel çalışan ve sahipleri ile iletişimimiz başta iyiyken, girişten sonra bitti, herhangi bir karşılama, ihtiyaç veya çıkış yardımı yoktu, kaldığımız 5 günde odads herhangi bir temizlik yapılmadı ve hiç iletişim kuracak birine denk gelmedim.
• Sandeep (10/5): -
• Ross (10/5): -
• Paul (9/5): - Das unkomplizierte Check in. Bequeme Betten. Wasserkocher vorhanden. Die Lage ist perfekt, nur 5 Minuten bis zur Otsuka Station an der Yamanote Line. Nur ein Schrank für drei Personen, aber uns hat es nicht gestört, weil wir mit Rucksäcken angereist sind.
• Adrien (10/5): Très confortable et bien situé - Nous nous sommes sentis rapidement comme chez nous, la chambre est spacieuse et confortable pour deux personnes. Le quartier est calme et proche des transports, très pratique pour visiter la ville. Rien, c'était parfait !

• Marcos Carlos Hassam (10/5): Great Location and bang for your buck - Location, convenience, good restroom and comfortable bed. No comments
• Luke (10/5): Great value, great location and room was well equipped. - The location was great. Very short walks to the train stations and Ikebukuro is nearby (worth visiting). Yuko was incredibly helpful especially making sure we had everything we needed and offered assistance with sending our luggage to our next hotel. Nothing
• Nhan (10/5): -
• 詹 (10/5): -
• YUDI (10/5): -
• Alejandroatm91 (10/5): - La ubicación es justo lo que buscábamos, a pasos de todo el movimiento de Ikebokuro y a pasos de una estación de JR. La habitacion es muy espaciosa, baño grande y cama cómoda. Se agradece mucho para el estándar japones de habitaciones de hotel. Las instrucciones fueron claras y el lugar tiene cositas a 100 yenes en la entrada, por si te falta algo, aunque hay un 7eleven a media cuadra.
• shih hsien (10/5): 像住在家裡 -
• Bernadette (8/5): - Lovely accommodation in the quiet suburb next to Ikebukuro. Close to the station, Sunshine City and other amenities including a laundromat, cafe, food and conbinis within the vicinity. Hosts were easily contactable via Booking’s internal messaging service and they provided detailed instructions on how to get to the accommodation and any rules that had to be followed. Rooms were decently sized for a group of three and we really loved the bathroom. Thanks for providing such wonderful accommodation during our stay in Tokyo. Not much to dislike.
• Marcus (9/5): Will recommend - Decent location. Clean and convenient Na
• Jasper Alexander (9/5): - Great value for price. It's a solid appartment, clean and fairly close to Ikebukuru shopping ce tre (15mins walk) and metro (7mins walk), which further connects to major places in Tokyo. The area itself is not very vibrant, but from here other places are easily accessible.
• Gabriel (10/5): Recommended - Close to JR Otsuka Station, has various konbini's and a supermarket close by. Even if the last train final stop is Ikebukuro, it's still easy to get to by walking. Room was clean and just as pictured. There was refresh of towels and room cleaning halfway through my stay. Would love to stay here again next time in Japan.
• echidna27 (10/5): Comfy and easy first time in JP thanks to this accommodation. - We stayed for 2 weeks. Lovely room and bathroom. Loved the rooftop patio. Elevator was very convenient. A small but nice selection of drinks and water in the foyer for 100yen. Laundromat 20 metres down the road. Bed was a very comfy medium-firm. Power point by the bed has inbuilt USB-A. The bidet was absolutely premium. Shower was lovely and spacious. Room has free wifi and a large TV with netflix. A microwave, kettle and mini fridge was in the room as well as an assortment of coffee and tea. A 711 just around the corner or family mart 2 minutes away. The 711 had an ATM+ that only charges 100yen on withdrawals with our pre paid debit travel cards. They offered a room clean during our stay. We used booking.com to communicate with the owner and they were quick with responses. Short walk to the station on the JR Yamanote line. Highly recommended staying here. We experienced an earthquake in the room and everything was well stable. AC was amazingly quick to heat the room. I definitely recommend walking to the sunshine city mall. They have a rooftop aquarium, poke-center, bandai namco, one-piece, Sanrio and studio Ghibli store, as well as a dagashi store (penny sweets). Not much farther is the Ikebukuro main shopping area. Near Otsuke station is a mini Don Quijote where I picked up some vac bags to store the stuff we brought better in our luggage before leaving. The mini fridge, which we used to store some drinks, snacks and frozen treats, middle of our stay stopped working and then restarted, melting some ice-cream, and some frost over everything in it.
• Meiju (9/5): - 乾淨、舒適 無
• Peter (10/5): Kleines Apartment mit allem, was man für einen kurzen Aufenthalt braucht. - Yuko und Nick sind sehr nette Gastgeber und reagieren auf Anfragen schnell. Im Apartment hat man alles, was man braucht. Die Lage ist in einer ruhigen Nebenstraße wenige Gehminuten zur Otsuka Station. Kleine Getränke und Snacks kann man auch zum Selbstkostenpreis in der Unterkunft kaufen. Uns hat es dort sehr gut gefallen und wir können die Unterkunft empfehlen. .
• Mariela Hristova (10/5): Would Stay Again, Yes - Big bathroom, new, clean, comfortable room, attention to detail in everything. Elevator. Quiet. Blackout curtains. Kind and helpful hosts 10/10. In a great neighbourhood with even two specialty coffee shops close by. 10 min to the green-line subway. The lack of an iron in the room. There was one on the floor, but we never got to it.
• Mario (10/5): Was super nice - Everything is there. Laundry nearby, Lift, a super Sweet pikachu which we always feed with some yen😃 Really everything is there there is also a scale to get to know th wheigt of your luggage, chips, water, sweets and and and. Was super nice and comfortable . Really easy instructions from the owners.
• Jordon (10/5): Clean and super convenient - The room was exceptionally clean and the hosts were very friendly and helpful! The location is highly convenient with 3 convenience stores within a 5 minute radius. Otsuka station is less than a 10 minute walk away. Sunshine City is pretty close too. NA
• 彩燕 (10/5): -
• Catarina (5/5): Impossível para 3 pessoas - A casa de banho é boa Extremamente pequeno e impossível para 3 pessoas. Não tem mesmo espaço. Nem da para abrir malas!
• Franken (10/5): Would definitely recommend - Very good, host even went to station to give my bag. Accommodation close to station, very quiet local area Bit far but you know that before, bit tiny but that is Japan.
• Steven (10/5): Super séjour avec de super hôtes - La propreté était parfaite. Les hôtes sont super, disponible et nous ont rendu un énorme service avec un de nos bagages qui avait été perdu par notre compagnie aérienne. Hyper disponible par messagerie Booking et attentionnés. Bien situé avec la station otsuka pas loin La laverie situé dans la même rue est un plus

• Dorde (10/5): -
• Natalia (10/5): Tolles Zimmer, perfekte Lage und super liebe Besitzer – wir haben uns rundum wohl und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. - Wir haben uns hier richtig gut aufgehoben gefühlt! Die Lage ist perfekt und unser Zimmer war groß, super sauber und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Besonders toll fanden wir, dass die Besitzer uns direkt kontaktiert und unsere Fragen sehr schnell beantwortet haben – das gibt einem gleich ein gutes Gefühl. Alles in allem: top Preis-Leistung und ganz viel Herzlichkeit. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen! 💕

• Michael Johann (10/5): Nice place to stay - A nice quite place in Tokyo also train is accessible within 15mins and a 7-eleven in the corner really convenient unlike Shinjuku and Shibuya where its chaos here area is really neighborhood local type en
• Thill (10/5): Amazing - Das Personal hat uns unglaublich viel geholfen und hat uns auf jede unserer Fragen geantwortet, sowie uns Hilfe angeboten. Sie sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend und haben immer so schnell, wie möglich auf unsere Nachrichten geantwortet. Die Lage des Gasthauses ist sehr gut gelegen, man erreicht in wenigen Minuten bspw. den Otsuka Bahnhof oder Sunshine City. Das Bett war sehr bequem und das Badezimmer hatte alles was man braucht. Ich kann das Gasthaus jedem herzlichst empfehlen.
• Marianne (9/5): Vie à la Japonaise à Ikebukuro - L'emplacement était parfait au calme dans un quartier typique à 5mn à pied de Sunshine city et des rues que nous voulions voir. L'établissement est impeccable avec une decoration et une prise en charge soignée. Il était tres facile de prendre la chambre et d'aller et venir de l'établissement meme en dehors des horaires d'ouverture. J'aurais souhaité avoir une machine à laver dans la chambre mais il y avait une laverie juste à coté et cela a aussi contribué au charme de vivre avec les locaux. De plus il y avait un système d'étendoir tres pratique prévu dans la chambre ce à quoi nous n'avions jamais eu access auparavant dans d'autres établissements, meme ceux pourvus de machines à laver. Je remercie grandement la famille qui s'occupe de cet établissement. Grace à eux nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour à Ikebukuro ^^ Le manque de place pour manger dans la chambre mais cela est normal vu l'espace limité disponible au Japon.
• Alan (10/5): Thanks for your hospitality it was great love the location -
• Bobbi (10/5): - Good communication prior, liked staying in a quieter neighborhood and near a smaller station on the yamanote line. Laundry nearby and small packs of laundry soap available to buy at the little shop in the building. Blackout curtains didn't lay against the wall so a bit of street light came in. We were on the ground floor so there was a bit of noise when other guests entered but it was quick and not so bothersome
• YU SHAN (9/5): - 環境非常好，有電梯，房間可以打開29吋行李箱，唯一可惜的是離JR大塚和新大塚都有一些距離，但離荒川向原非常近，路口就有自助洗衣間和7-11，總體來說非常推薦
• Alejandro A Secas (10/5): Perfecto - Mini combini en la entrada. Habitación y camas cómodas. Todo de 10
• Rebecca (10/5): Lovely stay close to train station :) - Our studio was amazing, we could see that the hosts put a lot attention to detail into this place. We had a great bathroom with nice shower, had enough space to hang our clothes and store our luggage. We had everything we needed to have meals in the studio, with a fridge, microwave and dishes. There was a sofa, and a small table with stool, which was very convenient. We walked around 10 mins to Otsuka station, where you can take the Yamanote line or walked around 15 mins to another station to take the subway. The neighborhood is very calm and we had two convenient stores very close. We enjoyed our stay and can only recommend! We slept very well, but it's worth to mention that the mattress is very soft for those who do not like this.
• Clement (10/5): Out of my exepctation - The area is tranquil yet easy accessible. JR to everywhere or take the traditional-style tram Toden-Arakawa line that is some different experience. The Kinenyu Sauna nearby is a must try. Nothing. It even has a lift that is rare. Maybe the little slope when trying to reach the hotel from train station, but not a problem for me.
• Flavio (10/5): Very recomended - Excellent place overall. Location, clean, convenient.
• Navya (9/5): Great option for access to Ikebukuro and lovely owners! - It was well maintained and had everything we needed. Nothing as such about the property, the walk from the subway station was a bit uphill which made it difficult to walk to and from the hotel.
• Heidi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pierre (10/5): What an amazing hotel! - This was our second stay at Kainoa Guesthouse. Again, everything was wonderful. Soft, very comfortable beds, clean and tidy, and several 7-11s and Family marts are close by. You get to Ikebukuro Station and Sunshine City in 10 minutes by foot, and from there, you get to the hot spots easily and quickly. The owners are very friendly and always respond within minutes. We can't recommend this hotel enough! The rooms are big, and you live in a rather quiet Tokio neighborhood, which is nice after spending the day in busy Akihabara, for example. Everything was fantastic.
• Pierre (10/5): The best hotel we stayed in in Japan! - Very clean and tidy room. Nice bathroom with a big shower. The bed is big enough for two people and one of the few soft beds you can find in Japan :D You can watch Prime, Netflix, Disney + and more. The owners always answer within minutes if you have any questions. There is a little bit of "white noise" from outside, which is noticeable when sleeping. However, we still slept like babies, and we are a bit sensitive when it comes to noise. So, it's not really a problem unless you are hyper sensitive to monotone noises during the night.
• Lilian (10/5): This cute and tidy guest house provides such a better cultural experience than staying in a hotel - This is a lovely guest house. The rooms were clean and well- equipped with a spacious bathroom and shower. Yuko was a friendly, helpful and generous host. She was especially kind to our 7 year old son. There was an honesty snack bar at the front door with cheap products and beautiful origami decorations in the hallway. We absolutely loved our stay at Kainoa and will definitely stay there next time we visit Tokyo. It’s not the most central location to the main tourist destinations but there’s several train stations within a short walk and Ueno Park is only a few stops away.
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Piotr (8/5): Very good - Roomy, clean and very close to rent a bike spot and laundry service. My Room is located near entrance and slide doors when closes hits hard making it very inconvenient in the morning when people start to go in and out, you will probably wake up. If not that I would give 9 score.
• Hortense (9/5): Superb - The location was great, the room had everything we needed. And the host was very kind, she let us leave our luggage before the check-in time. Very good place!
• Eugenia (10/5): Exceptional - Superbly comfortable bed, great vibes, everything provided for having breakfast or even a microwave meal. Very private. There is a coin laundry on the corner. The location is great as well-- a quiet neighborhood well connected to the train line. I would definitely come back.
• Sam (9/5): Book this place. - Well maintained. Fresh feel - newly renovated. Great bathroom and shower. Easy access with great communication from staff. Oh and it has Netflix. Which is a great to mellow the kids out after long days Nothing
• Karrie (9/5): Superb - I liked the free instant coffee packs provided :) the shower was also quite comfortable No baby cot available
• Oresr (10/5): The hidden gem of Ikebukuro - The rooms are very large for Japan. Honestly it was nice to be able to fit our luggage and walk around as well as an easy to connect to TV and adjustable lighting with a knob. Shower was very spacious. The owners are both lovely. It's a family ran business and they still do everything to accommodate you. I ran out of toilet roll at night and they went out of their way to bring me extra. Location is great. 10 mins from the Otsuka station and right next to a 7/11. I will be staying with them in the future. No complaints.
• Deirdre (9/5): Overall, we had a great stay. It was quiet and relaxed and provided everything we needed- thank you! - We received exact instructions with pictures ahead of check-in, making it very easy to find the place. Nick provided excellent tips on the surrounding area - where to eat and jog etc. The extra touches like coffee and tea and bottled water, some hanging space for clothes were nice after a long journey. It was clean and comfortable, close to a train station. Everything was perfect.
• Amaras (10/5): Exceptional -
• Giovanna (9/5): I will go back - The location is perfect. The room was spotless and spacious. We felt really welcomed.
• Clarice (9/5): Superb - Liked the location and style of the room. I never received check in instructions ahead of time, I had to ask a staff there and it seems like they forgot but helped us check in really quickly.
• Lily (10/5): Exceptional -
• Danny (10/5): Amazing - Excellent stay! The room was spacious, clean and was close to the station. Nothing
