RYOKAN ASAKUSA SHIGETSU, Tokyo

The hotel offers a public bath for each gender, with the women's and men's baths providing a view of Senso-ji Temple's Five-storied Pagoda. A Hinoki wood bath on the top floor gives guests a view of Tokyo Skytree. Free WiFi is available throughout the property, and a lift provides access to all floors.

Guest rooms include Japanese-style rooms with tatami floors and Western single rooms, all with air conditioning, satellite TV, and an en suite bathroom. Each room is equipped with hairdryers, yukata robes, tea sets, and mineral water. Some north-facing rooms previously offered a view of Sensoji Temple, but a seven-story building under construction will block this view until autumn 2026.

The hotel is a 5-minute walk from Asakusa Subway Station, with direct access to Ueno, Shibuya, and Ginza areas, as well as Narita and Haneda international airports. It is situated near Nakamise-dori Street and Senso-ji Temple, both a 5-minute walk away. The street in front of the hotel is closed to general vehicles during the day, keeping the area quiet.

The hotel has an on-site restaurant that serves breakfast and traditional Japanese meals. A chef recently retired, so the restaurant is not currently serving breakfast, but the front desk provides recommendations for nearby eateries. The lounge offers free coffee and tea machines for guests.

The hotel offers Japanese-style suite rooms with connected spaces, suitable for families with young adults. Family rooms are available, and the public baths are open to all ages. Coin-operated washing machines and dryers are provided for guest use.
