Traditional Japanese Accommodation

Ryokan Asakusa Shigetsu offers 22 air-conditioned rooms with tatami floors and Japanese futon bedding. Each room includes a flat-screen TV, refrigerator, electric kettle, and en suite bathroom with complimentary toiletries. Some rooms feature a seating area and views of Senso-ji Temple's Five-storied Pagoda or the Tokyo Skytree from the hinoki wood bath.

Daily Breakfast Service

The hotel serves a colorful Japanese breakfast with rice cooked in a traditional cauldron. Breakfast is available daily from 7:30 AM for ¥1,300 per person per night. Guests can add breakfast at check-in.

Onsen and Relaxation

The property features an indoor public bath (onsen) on the same floor as guest rooms. Yukata robes are provided in all rooms for use during your stay. Smoking is permitted only in the designated lobby area.

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.”

central location skytree view clean furo relaxing experience
i was very pleased with the location near senso-ji temple it made exploring convenient my room had a view of the tokyo skytree which was a nice surprise the main street was just a short walk away the furo was clean offering a relaxing experience.
