AIRSTAY Asakusa

The location was a real plus: close to train stations, a supermarket, restaurants, Sensoji temple, and a 24-hour DonKi. Asakusa View Hotel, one of the Tokyo Airport Limousine Bus stops, is also within walking distance. Inside, the room worked well for three, with two beds pushed together. Four adults could fit, but it would be quite tight. There’s a kitchenette with all the utensils you need to eat takeaway or cook. The toilet is separate from the bathroom, which is handy because two people can use them at the same time. The only downside is that there’s no elevator. If carrying your bags upstairs is okay with you, this is a good find.

My kids liked this room best out of the four places we stayed during our 10 days in Japan. It has the essentials for a longer stay, including a full kitchen and private laundry, plus air conditioning in both the bedroom and living room. We unpacked our large suitcases in the living room and kept the bed tidy. The location puts you just a few corners from Asakusa downtown and Senso-ji temple, with everything you need nearby once you arrive. Getting there from Haneda isn't very convenient, though, and it's a long walk from the train station.

Lots of food and attractions are nearby, and there are convenience stores too. The location is the best part.

It's a great spot, close to Sensoji and only a 10-minute walk away. It also isn't too crowded. Awesome.
