Kaneyoshi Ryokan

All worked well for us

Clean room, convenient location, helpful staff

We enjoyed the traditional "Japanese style" roomml at this ryokan, as well as the bathing facility.

Very close to tourist shopping district. Its a bit chaotic at night though.

We have stayed in a ryokan once before and i remember the futons being so comfortable! Unfortunately these were not comfy. It may be time to replace them. Also didn't love the pillows. Other than that, it was a great stay. Very clean, very helpful staff, the onsen was tiny, just one small hot bath but it was clean and no one else was using it when we went at night. There is one for men and one for women and its open until midnight i believe. You do need to be in by 1am when they lock the front doors to the hotel. It's in a great area of the dotonburi, and the subway is fairly close. They were happy to keep our luggage on check in and check out days. They also informed us of an express bus down the street that takes you to the airport, which was super helpful because the airport is far away.
