AMAZING STAY !!!! Could not recommend Isa and Yumikos guesthouse enough ! Everything was perfect. Friendly and super caring hosts with impeccable attention to detail. Great location super close to train station and shops. Met lovely travellers also staying during my time. Absolutely would come back next time in Tokyo !

Nothing!

Isa and Yumiko are great hosts! They were very thoughtful and provided a map full of suggestions of where to eat and experiences such as times for an upcoming festival at the Senso-ji Temple. There was a supplied basket of snacks and tissues that were always refilled, and the inn had a lot of charming details! When the nights got too warm, they were very generous about using the air conditioner in the room so it was always cool inside. I was in a multiple-bed room and there were curtains for privacy. The blankets are thick and soft and the bed is overall very comfortable and clean. If anyone wanted to socialize, the common room provided a place for us to talk.

The location was really nice, with a short walk to Asakusa/Shin-Jo temple, a canal, and only about a 25 min walk to Akihabara. I wasn't in the property much, but Isa-san was very friendly and helpful, and provided a map/pointed out different places to eat near the property.

The rooms got very warm in the evenings, and it would have been good to possibly crack a window. I like the heat so I wasn't too bothered, but I know if I'm warm others are likely too hot.

The location was good, literally just next to a subway station. The neighborhood was a more relaxed one which I really liked. I was travelling solo and it was a good place to meet other solo travellers. The guesthouse was cozy and the owner was really nice! I stayed at this guesthouse at the beginning of my trip and decided to stay there again at the end of my trip. :)

If you are a very light sleeper, some occasional sounds from outside might disturb your sleep as the house isn't fully soundproof. For me this was okay though! :)

This is the perfect guesthouse in Tokyo. You really feel at home here and it's perfect size to meet new people in the common area. The beds were big and very comfortable. It is located directly next to kuramae station and so it's a perfect location. The house was very clean and the owner Isa is very friendly! Highly recommend as your stay in Tokyo. The area of Kuramae is cute and not too busy as compared to the rest of Tokyo (minus the area around Sensoji Temple). The owner will give you a paper with a bunch of different restauranrs and bars nearby. For me it was a perfect spot in Tokyo.

If you are someone who enjoys nightlife you are staying pretty far away in Asakusa and there's not much to offer here. If you are big or tall you will hit your head and arms on a lot of things but thats going to be a thing throughout Japan.

Hikari Guesthouse is a wonderful place to stay in Tokyo. It’s perfect for a solo traveler. The owners have thought of every little detail and have decorated the house really nicely. They are also very friendly and welcoming. I especially enjoyed the cute communal aria and little garden. The property is small but it’s centrally located in Tokyo so that’s to be expected. It’s super close to the train station and wasn’t hard to get to from Narita airport. There’s also lots of cute restaurants and cafes very close by. I particularly appreciated the use of the washing machine.

Nothing, I loved staying in this cute guesthouse.

Tokyo Hikari Guesthouse is one of my two favorite places to stay in Tokyo. Third visit, previous ones were in 2018 and 2023. Isa and Yumiko are welcoming, gentle and reliable. Engage them in conversation; they have traveled to several continents and understand much about the world. The location is excellent, beside a direct (underground) train line to both Narita and Haneda airports. But, importantly, you would never guess this from inside the guesthouse as it's exceptionally quiet and peaceful. The neighborhood, Kuramae, is attractive. It offers several amenities without the crowds, high prices and tactlessness of other parts of Tokyo.

Nothing comes to mind.

We had a very positive experience staying here. The guesthouse was extremely clean and the owner was kind, polite, and happy to answer questions. Our room was comfortable and the guesthouse itself is located near restaurants, convenience stores, and public transportation. If you are looking for a cozy, well-run place to to stay in Tokyo at a reasonable price, me and my group would definitely recommend Tokyo Hikari Guesthouse.

N/A

I liked that the location was in a peaceful and quiet area away from all the hustle and bustle from the city. However the metro stations weren't far and felt I could visit everywhere I needed in a short space of time. The hostel has a kitchen and laundry facilities can be used for free with a small cost for the tumble drier. The host was extremely thoughtful and considerate and made you feel at home. The place was spotless too with some free snacks and tea/coffee every day to enjoy.

The owners here are amazing. They are super friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. It feels like you are coming home rather than coming back to a guesthouse. The bed was the comfiest that I’ve ever slept in! Very clean as well. I appreciated the personal tour with stories about the owners’ children. The owners also live here, so they are always available if you need them. Great location with a direct line to Narita or Haneda airport.
