Perfect Japanese Style Hotel.

Excellent small family run inn less than one mile from the Akabane JR station. Very good value— pleasant Japanese style rooms with comfortable futons, clean restroom facilities down the hall with private toilet/shower room assigned to each guest room and Japanese style breakfast cooked as you wait: when we stayed, we enjoyed the satisfying breakfast consisting of small green salad, toast or English muffin, fresh fruit plate, juice, coffee or tea, and bacon and breakfast sausage served at a table in the kitchen. The owners delight in serving their guests and making them feel at home. We were grateful for the offer to pick us up at the train station the night we arrived as well as take us to the train station each morning we were in Tokyo. For English speaking guests who want a taste of Japanese hospitality at a very reasonable price and who prefer value and smaller properties over big and fancy, Mokkoan is a delightful place to stay. All four members of our party thoroughly enjoyed their stay and would return. Two of our party speak Japanese but the hosts are proficient in English and eager to help.

Yasuhiko and his wife were delightful hosts. They really couldn't have been more helpful. The hotel is very comfortable and beautiful.

When I first read the Expedia reviews, I was optimistic but a little bit skeptical. 5 stars across the board? Really? After staying there, I can truly say that those reviews were right.This is an amazing B&B run by the impossibly nice Ito family. The best thing about it is that you feel like you are at home with family. So it's relaxed, comfortable and easy to unwind.There are only a small handful of rooms that the Itos make available, which adds to the homey feel of the place. I booked the non-traditional twin room, which is located on the upstairs floor. It was a very comfortable and clean room, with 2 soft Western style beds, lots of window light and the family's tree-lined garden outside as the view. You have your own personal bathroom just outside of the room, and it's very clean, modern and new, albeit tiny. But that's a very minor point.When I first arrived, Mr. Ito was kind enough to pick me up from the Akabane station nearby, which was a really lovely gesture. The walk from their place to the station is only about 20 minutes going slow, and it's a pleasant one through a Tokyo suburb, allowing you a chance to see what life is like outside of the downtown centre. Mornings include a nice little breakfast in the kitchen area, with plenty of conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Ito. I learned so much about them, which is why I honestly felt like I was a part of their family.One of the most memorable places that I've stayed in.

I could not be more pleased with my experience at Mokkoan. I am secretly hoping that this unique bed and breakfast does not become too popular that I will not be able to book again in the future :) A classic house with a walled garden in a quiet and interesting section of Itabashi (just a few stops from Tokyo), the Inn is a little island of calm in the middle of a bustling megalopolis. I had business nearby and found the Inn to be a welcome respite. The owners are a scientist and his charming wife, with deep roots in the neighborhood and who seem to sincerely enjoy the daily mix of domestic and foreign guest who visit the Inn and join in conversation at the breakfast table. Breakfast featured marmalade and juice from oranges from their own garden. Ii didn't get to stay in one of the tatami rooms - some facing directly into the garden- but in in one of the western style rooms. Each room its own bath (small but efficient). The neighborhood very quiet, and the owners recommended some wonderful small restaurants nearby. the Inn is near the Olympic training facility, parks and a nature viewing preserve. Definitely pleasant strolling and exploring. About a kilometer from the station, the owners offer rides as well. I will visit again, and also with my family.

The inn is owned by a lovely couple that has experienced different places and likes interacting with their different guests. They would make everyone breakfast and take us to/from the train station, even occasionally taking detours to show us streets that were lined with cherry blossoms. The room was simple, but comfortable and had everything needed - plus, a water heater. :) Bathroom was separate/private and clean.
