Mokkoan

It was the best place I've ever stayed at, Ito-san and Chieko-san (and Ko-chan, their dog) are super friendly! I felt like coming back home to family each night. We liked the walk back through the quiet neighbourhood, although they can also bring you to the station every day, anytime you want. Akabane station is very convenient and trains go just about every minute to wherever you want. The room we had was nice and we even got an upgrade to a bigger (traditional) room cause we were the only guests after a few days. Everything was spotless and we got fresh towels every day. There was also the possibility to wash&dry your clothes. The breakfast was English style and very tasty, fresh fruits every morning as well (so good)! They speak english very well cause they lived in the US and traveled a lot in Europe for work as well. If you have the time make sure to ask questions, I got a free 'history lesson' from Ito-san about various shoguns and stories about the shrines, it was super interesting :) All in all it's just like all the other reviews say: come and stay here it's the best. I know I will if I ever come back to japan again!

Mr. and Mrs. Ito are fantastic, multilingual hosts. They made sure all guests had their needs met, and have been generous with giving rides to the station when needed. The property is in a suburban neighborhood and are a five minute drive from Akabane station, which is connected to the JR lines if you have a JR pass! It was an experience in itself to meet with people from other countries and hear their stories! I stayed during the mid-October typhoon. We had a small 'typhoon party' and shared stared stories at the dining table over food and drinks. They make jam from oranges grown on their property, it's delicious! And you get to see their cute dog Ko-Chan in the morning! If you are looking for a high quality bed & breakfast inn, Mokkoan makes a wonderful stay!

Ito and his wife are amazing people. House is well located and very clean. Ito can drive you to the station in the morning.

The hospitality and warmth extenďed from the host's couple is unforgettable . We committed a mistake on the order dates and Mr. Ito did not forfeit our room charge and choose to refund it all . The problem was handled and solved amiably. The experience of the stay is long lasting and delighting .

Nothing I don't like

Mr and Mrs Ito are adorable hosts. Beautiful ryokan and the rooms are excellent. Great hospitality.
