Onsen and Relaxation

Historic Asakusa Location
Located in Taito ward, the 80-year-old ryokan sits steps from Nakamise-dori Street and Senso-ji Temple. Asakusa Subway Station provides direct access to Ueno (2 km), Shibuya, Ginza, Narita Airport, and Haneda Airport. Tokyo Skytree is 1.5 km away, and Ueno Park is 2 km from the property.
Essential Guest Services
The hotel offers free WiFi throughout the property, luggage storage, and an elevator. Dry cleaning services are available. No pets or service animals are allowed. The front desk can provide information about local attractions including Tokyo Tower and Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden (both within 5 km).
“What stands out about this property is its commitment to the traditional ryokan experience, amplified by its prime location near Senso-ji Temple and Kaminarimon Gate. The onsen, though perhaps not a true spring, is a welcome respite after a day exploring Tokyo, and the attentive staff clearly elevate the experience. Overall, it's a solid choice for those seeking an authentic stay with both convenience and charm.”
