Guesthouse Toco – A Favorite for Families in Tokyo

Guesthouse Toco occupies a 100-year-old traditional wooden house converted into a hostel. Rooms include private queen rooms with balconies overlooking the garden and mixed or female-only dormitories with privacy curtains and personal lockers. All rooms share bathrooms with slippers and toiletries provided.

The guesthouse has a garden, a bar open in the evenings, and a shared kitchen with cookware and refrigerator. Guests can rent bicycles to explore the neighborhood or use bicycle parking. Laundry service and luggage storage are available for a small fee.

Every guest receives a free welcome drink at the bar each night, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. The optional breakfast serves two freshly made onigiri (rice balls) with miso soup. The bar is a social spot where travelers meet locals and staff, with a traditional Japanese samurai drink available.
