Very accommodating staff and the place is accessible to lots of tourist spots. 😊
JapanThe location was in central Asakusa. The room was quiet and comfortable. Our room had a great bathtub and the water was always hot and strong enough. We appreciated the tea pot and tea in the room.
United States of AmericaDistance from shopping place & subway, cheerful person in reception. Cleanliness of room, toilet& shower room.
MalaysiaRidiculously convenient to the Asakusa transit, friendly staff, cozy traditional room with private bath and toilet was nice.
United States of AmericaThe hotel is in a very convenient location, everything was clean, the room was very nice, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Wonderful value for money
Czech RepublicLocation - near Metro Station, a lot of good eating places around while the venue itself is very quiet Have washing machine as well as dryer. Very nice staff
VietnamTiny room but well laid out, private bathroom/shower/bath and still very comfortable, relaxed and easy place to stay for a good price. Great location near Sensoji, Kappabashi kitchen street, many restaurants and shops, but tucked back in a quiet road; A few min walk to subway Tawaramachi metro station, but we love the 15-20min walk through the neighborhoods and down Kappabashi street to get to Ueno Station. We have stayed here every year while in Tokyo for the past 5 years and plan on being here next time as well!
United States of AmericaThe location was great for sightseeing in Asakusa. The rooms were small but they suited our needs. The toilets and bathrooms were clean and the futons were comfortable. We slept like babies. The staff was exceptionally kind and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.
United States of AmericaThe place is very clean and the futons are very comfy. The host is very friendly but I forgot his name. I think it’s Ambrosio? They have free luggage storage. The location is less than 10min walk from sensoji temple. There’s A LOT of restaurants and souvenir shop in the area. Less than 10min walk to kappabashi and the tobu nikko line. I don’t know how many stations are around the area. I feel like there’s at least 5? Transportations very very easy. It’s just 1 train from both haneda and narita airports.
United States of AmericaStaffs are very nice and helpful. The room is so facilitated and clean. The location also near to the train station and shopping places.

-
- What's a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
-
- What's a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What's a yukata?
- A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
-
- How should I wear a yukata?
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- What's standard bathing etiquette?
- At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.
