Hotels near Kyoouji Temple in Tokyo

This hotel is super convenient, just a 4-minute walk from JR Nippori Station on the Yamanote Line. The lobby is impressive, and I loved the complimentary tea bags, especially the apple tea – it smells amazing! The room was a bit small, but the pillow was incredibly comfortable. Getting around was a breeze; you can easily reach Shibuya and Ikebukuro directly on the Yamanote Line. I even walked to the Tokyo National Museum, which only took about 20 minutes.

I stayed here for one night before taking the Shinkansen from Ueno Station the next morning. The hotel is conveniently located near the station — it took about 10 minutes by taxi at around 7:00 AM with no traffic, and the fare was approximately 1,500–1,800 yen. I arrived for check-in at حوالي 10:00 PM, and there was still a receptionist available. The check-in process was quick and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The hotel is located along the main road, so it is easy to find. The room was quite small compared to the Kiyosumi branch. It was not possible to open two suitcases at the same time. However, the kitchenette was well equipped with an electric stove, microwave, and kettle. The bathroom was compact, as is typical in Japan, but fully functional. The bed was comfortable and the room was very quiet. Even though the hotel is close to the train station, I could not hear any train noise at all. Overall, this hotel is very convenient for a short stay before traveling the next day. However, for a longer stay, I would recommend choosing a branch with a larger room. There is also a 24-hour restaurant located across the street, which is very convenient.

The room facilities are very new, and the transportation is very convenient. The Skyliner goes directly to Narita. I recommend getting off at the North Exit because there's an elevator. The South Exit is closer but has steep stairs, which isn't suitable for luggage. There's a machine at the East Exit where you can buy Shinkansen tickets. Nippori is a transportation hub, but it's not large itself, making transfers easy. The room is tiny; with a child, three people barely have space to move. Positioning it as a 'Kaiyuan Mingdu' (a premium hotel chain) in Tokyo, where land is precious, if you booked it for 800 (yen/currency unit implied), it could work for a transit day. For 1000, it's just barely acceptable. The breakfast isn't as good as some reviews suggest; the breakfast area is about 100 square meters. You can tell if it's truly diverse just by looking at its size. We booked it last minute for 1200+, and I felt like we were completely ripped off. The small size is really unbearable, and they don't even provide water in the room. During check-in, the front desk mistakenly gave me two 17m² rooms, and it took a long time to sort out. Next time for a transit day in Tokyo, I'll choose a larger hotel along the Yamanote Line after transferring from the Skyliner.

Stayed on this hotel for 2 nights. Location is super convenient, just 2 mins away from Tabata Station (Yamanote Line). You can store your luggage if you arrive earlier than check in time. Note: the road from the station to the hotel is a bit uphill. Staff is also very accommodating. Check out process is also swift as they have machine for express check out. My room is at 3F, Lobby is 4F. Cleanliness is okay, just a bit dusty on the window part. Shower and bath area is what you expect from typical business hotel. Will definitely staff again if I need to go to Tokyo!

The room is very small, even for a couple. It feels a bit cramped, especially if you have luggage, and there isn’t much space to move around or relax comfortably. It’s more suitable for short stays or solo travellers. Lighting in the room is also quite poor. It feels dim and not well-lit, which makes the space feel even smaller and less comfortable, especially at night or when trying to get ready. Overall, the hotel is functional and clean, but the compact room size and insufficient lighting make it less ideal for couples or longer stays.

The biggest advantage is how convenient the transportation is. It's a 2-minute walk from Iriya Station, Exit 4. However, that's also its biggest drawback: all night long, you can hear the subway or street noise. I was exhausted but couldn't sleep. The common area on the second floor, where you can get water, heat food, and do laundry, is all in one spot. Overall, the price matches the service provided. If you're not sensitive to noise, this place is a great fit. It seems to have been recently renovated – it's very new, clean, and fresh, and the bedding is also spotless.

The hotel is very close to Tabata Station, which makes getting around super convenient. The room wasn't too small, and it offered great value for money. Plus, there's a breakfast spot and a convenience store right downstairs.

Great value for money in Tokyo! The facilities seemed quite new and it was very clean. The room and bathroom are relatively small but perfectly fine for the price. It's a bit noisy though. Well-located in a quiet side street, a few minutes' walk from the subway, convenience stores, and restaurants. The shrine is also just around the corner. There's a shared kitchen, washing machine, and dryer available. The entrance is a bit hidden, but the host sends detailed instructions before arrival. Due to the small size of the room, it gets a bit humid after showering. A dehumidifier would have been a nice addition.

This place has so many advantages! I'll address all the concerns I had when I first booked! [Pros] 1. It was a surprisingly spacious place in Japan. It was great for opening our suitcases and there was no inconvenience. The spaciousness and freedom of movement were definitely the best! 2. The best part was that there was a microwave in the room! No need to go all the way to the lobby. 3. They even changed the towels daily. They said you could put your used towels in a large bag and leave them outside the door in the morning, but our bag wasn't there on the first day. We asked and they took care of it right away! 4. There's a washing machine! I was worried because I read a review saying there wasn't a place to dry them, but this was a model... not just a small washing machine, but one with a drying function! We just left it on and went out. LOL 5. There was a bidet in the bathroom, and the shower water flowed well, so we took a half-bath every day. It was amazing. 6. The kitchen was fully equipped, so I thought it would be nice to buy ingredients from the area and cook. I definitely felt like the accommodations were well-equipped with a lot of the basics and thoughtfully designed with the guest's needs in mind. [Cons] 1. There's only one heater in the room, a wall-mounted AC/heater combo unit. It was quite cold. We didn't turn it off when we left. While one room warmed up quickly, it was definitely cold when we went to the kitchen or bathroom. Also, because of the heater, the air was incredibly dry. Hanging wet towels out was a must. 2. There's only a 7-Eleven nearby. Lawson or Family Mart are a bit far away. 3. The lack of a separate table was also disappointing. I needed to rob a convenience store, but there weren't enough seats, so I used a chair as a table and sat on the bed, watching TV. [TIP] 1. No designated smoking area! The front desk told us to smoke there, as the ******** smoking area in front of the accommodation is open to everyone. However, it closes at 11 p.m. After that, just smoke outside and take the butts with you. 2. You might find the bed pillows a bit high. I used two pillows stacked on top of each other, lol. It was a perfect fit. 3. Some reviews said the train was noisy, but we barely heard it. Maybe because the TV was turned up loud? It almost felt like white noise. I'd definitely come back here again. While there are a few drawbacks, the positives outweigh them all. It's a truly wonderful place to stay. I think this trip ended well thanks to the Rio Hotel. 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The room was spacious enough to fully open my suitcase. However, the hotel had some plumbing work done during my last two days, which meant the shower water was freezing cold. Since I got back to the hotel quite late, I didn't bother the staff about it. Ended up catching a cold after returning home, haha. Also, the hotel is surrounded by love hotels...
