“100% would stay again for the location and the staff.”
+The location is unmatched! So close to the metro, and it felt like being in an oasis amidst all the chaos. Also the room was large for a hotel room in Tokyo, and as someone who shopped a bunch on my trip, that was extremely appreciated. The staff were also incredibly kind and helpful.
−My room didn’t really have any view, and it felt a bit stuffy in there every night.

“Beautiful ryokan with friendly staff at Asakusa.”
+We had a wonderful stay at Kaminarimon Ryokan. Our room was very comfortable even for three adults, and the entire property was exceptionally clean, organized, and well maintained. The location is also fantastic. It is right next to Kaminarimon Gate, in the heart of Asakusa, very close to Senso-ji Temple. The area is full of life during the day, with shops, cafés and people everywhere, and in the evening there are plenty of bars and restaurants to enjoy. At the same time, it still manages to feel calm and pleasant, which made it a great place to stay. The staff were always warm, kind, and helpful. Everyone we spoke with was able to communicate in English, which made everything very easy, and one of the gentlemen at reception even spoke Spanish, our native language. We are especially grateful to the two women at reception who helped us find a good and reasonably priced clinic when my father had a temporary health issue during our stay. Their support and kindness meant a lot to us. If I return to Tokyo someday, I would not hesitate to stay at Kaminarimon Ryokan again. Highly recommended.

+This was the perfect first stop in Japan. The hotel sits right next to Sensō-ji Temple, so the moment we arrived we felt immersed in the atmosphere of Asakusa. One of our favorite parts of the stay was sipping our morning coffee by the window and people watching as the neighborhood came to life. We also had a view of the Tokyo Skytree from another window and it was fun to turn off the lights and watch the show. I highly recommend booking the breakfast ahead of time. It was incredible and a wonderful way to start each day before heading out to explore. The whole place felt calm and peaceful, which was exactly what we needed after a long trip. It smelled lovely throughout, and the amenities were thoughtful and well done, the kind of small touches that make you feel taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Japan. If you’re looking for a beautiful, serene base right in the heart of one of Tokyo’s most iconic areas, this is it.

+I spent two weeks in Japan recently, and this was by far, my favorite hotel of the trip. My room and bathroom were spotless! I also enjoyed the free bottled water (just ask the front desk, and they'll give you free bottled water every day), coffee, and drinks that they left in the fridge. Just steps from Kaminarimon Gate, you'll be able to visit Sensōji Temple and Asakusa Shrine at all hours of the morning and night before the crowds arrive and long after they're gone. Magical!

“Perfect stay”
+The staff were wonderful. The location is great for a first time visit to Tokyo. The Japanese breakfast was amazing - they even made a special vegan one for my partner. Both were delicious!
−Nothing. It will be the highlight of our trip.
