Ryokan Asakusa Shigetsu Review

Ryokan Asakusa Shigetsu. Just off Nakamise-dori and inside the Senso-ji grounds, this small inn, with both Japanese- and Western-style rooms, could not be better located for a visit to the temple. The best options are the rooms with futon bedding and tatami floors, though they can be cramped for more than two people; the Western rooms, plain but comfortably furnished, are less expensive. All rooms have private baths; there's also a Japanese-style wooden communal bath on the sixth floor with a view of the Senso-ji pagoda.

    Nice hotel, great location

    Our standard Japanese style room was small but comfortable. The hotel's soaking baths (men's & women's communal) were also small but very nice. Staff was very friendly and the location is excellent! We will definitely stay here the next time we're in Tokyo.
