Stay at an Apartment Hotel in Asakusa!

Asakusa, where Japan's traditional atmosphere vibrantly shines, is a must-see spot when sightseeing in Tokyo.

The Asakusa area has an efficient public transportation system that includes trains, subways, and buses. Additionally, Asakusa is about 60 minutes from Narita Airport and only 30 minutes from spots in the heart of Tokyo, such as Shibuya and Harajuku. Therefore, it's a suitable place to spend the night and can serve as a base for your Tokyo visit.

For travelers in this popular area looking to spend their time comfortably while keeping accommodation costs down, we recommend staying at an apartment hotel or aparthotel, also known as minpaku (private lodging) in Japanese (*1).

In addition to amenities required during one's stay, some apartment hotels also provide a kitchen and washing machine. Moreover, guests can enjoy a flexible stay (*2). Also, fees are usually charged on a per-room basis. Therefore, the cost per person for large groups becomes very reasonable (*3).

*1: Minpaku refers to a room in a private home or lodging generally rented out to visitors. It's also referred to as a vacation rental or apartment hotel, resembling an Airbnb accommodation. It differs from a hotel because staff are not usually on duty. It may be necessary to contact the host directly for check-in, check-out, and other matters.

*2: Available services differ depending on the facility.

*3: The allowable number of guests per room depends on the facility and the room type.
