Loved by Ryokan Asakusa Shigetsu guests
"The location was excellent and the sento was nice and relaxing with decent views of the Pagoda and Tokyo Tower."
"The highlight was the amazing cedar smell coming from the wood everywhere."
"The ryokan is in an ideal location, right by Senso-ji Temple and all the outdoor stalls, yet the rooms are quiet and dark."
“For those seeking an authentic Japanese experience, this ryokan, with its traditional tatami and Hinoki wood bath, stands out. Its location provides easy access to the cultural heart of Asakusa, including Senso-ji Temple and Nakamise-dori Street. What sets it apart is the blend of traditional charm and modern amenities, making it a distinctive place to immerse yourself in Tokyo's rich heritage.”

the location was quite convenient, especially its proximity to senso-ji temple. the staff were helpful when i needed directions. the traditional japanese room, it had a tatami mat, was a nice touch.
my room did not have any windows. this meant there was no natural light, it was a bit stuffy. the air conditioning did not work correctly, it was quite warm in the room.
