The room is right next to the main hub of Asakusa, but it is far away enough that things are reasonably quiet. The building is a bit old but things are very clean, and the front desk worker was very friendly and helpful.

June United States of America

The host is very friendly. The location is convinient. The price is reasonable for the room with private bathroom.

Hoang Japan

Very accommodating staff and the place is accessible to lots of tourist spots. 😊

Marivic Japan

The 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.

Stephanie United States of America

Distance from shopping place & subway, cheerful person in reception. Cleanliness of room, toilet& shower room.

Plaing Malaysia

Ridiculously convenient to the Asakusa transit, friendly staff, cozy traditional room with private bath and toilet was nice.

Lisa United States of America

The 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

Michal Czech Republic

The room was very clean and nice, and the teabags were a nice little bonus. The private bath was great for relaxing. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and even found the pasmo card I lost!

Lívia Brazil

The shower and the heater were super awesome. Felt great during the winter

Shawn Japan

Great place! Just a few minutes walk to the lively area around Asakusa, but the location around the property is fairly quiet so you will get a good night's rest. I had a private room with a normal bed and the mattress was *really* comfortable! The room (and bathroom) are small but super clean and there is everything you need (toiletries, a night gown, etc). Excellent value for the money, I will probably come back here next time I am in Tokyo!

This property is a ryokan, which is a type of traditional Japanese Inn. Learn more

  • 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.
