This was my first hotel during my first trip to Japan. The staff were all incredibly friendly and removed a lot of the stress from my first couple of nights! The location is great, walking distance to a lot of great restaurants and the Kaminarimon and Senso-Ji temples. Despite that, I didn't have any issues with noise at night. The facilities themselves were very modern and clean, but still gave an authentic ryokan feel with the tatami-mat flooring.

Amazing location and the most helpful staff

The location is not far away from Asakusa station. Our room was a traditional Japanese style. The mattresses were a bit but we didn‘t mind. It might get a bit noisy due to the Nakamise Street next to it, we still enjoyed it a lot. The staff was friendly and helpful. The facility was well decorated and everything was clean.

The only thing I would recommend is to bring eye patches for sleeping as the room was lit up from the surrounding outside lights, but that is to be expected so not a complaint. Just a side note for anyone that may need it more dark to sleep.

We didn't get the breakfast, but wish we would have. The location was amazing, so many options for food and fun just outside the door. I love that the moment you walked in you were in a totally serene space if you need to escape all that is going on. It was also cool to have a Starbucks for coffee in the same building!

It is difficult to find a breakfast place that is open before 10 around this location. You can arrange for breakfast if you book it in advance. We ended up going to Lawsons and Family Mart!

Beautiful finishes and decor. Great location. Coffee and teas provided are excellent. Comfortable and spacious. The staff are very kind and even so thoughtful as to give a birthday gift to one of our party. Not a problem for us but just be aware that there are two double size beds in the bedroom and a third bed is a futon on the ground in the living room.

A bit pricey. Several similar but cheaper alternatives, albeit without the view, are available nearby.

Beautiful, stylish suite (Sakura) on top floor with sweeping views of Kaminarimon Gate, Senso-ji Shrine and the shopping alley leading to it. Suite offers both a Japanese-style living room and a Western-style bedroom. Modern private bathroom with a large soaking tub and a state-of-the-art toilet. Very quiet and relaxing. Excellent Japanese breakfast served in the dining room in the morning.

The location was fantastic, with a view over Sensoji temple and Nakamise-dori street. The suite was amazing with own terrace, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpfull.

The crowds near by, but that is not their fault. It's literally right next to the temple and shopping street.

Everything!!!! It was such a beautiful place. I fell in love with my room. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. I would give every employee there a 10/10. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and finished it all even though I have no idea what most of it was, compliments to the chef on that one. I will definitely book this place again when I return next time. Possible more than 1 night next time.

nothing. the accommodation was perfect. the staff so nice. it was just what I needed for my first night in Tokyo solo.

Such a gem to find. So peaceful. I love it. Can not recommend this enough. You are right in the old town and it actually doesn't feel the bad kind of touristy. Loads of restaurants to eat in. I would recommend stepping into the side streets and away from the main strip towards the temple/

Amazing location right next to the Kaminarimon Gate, extremely clean and beautiful property. Our room was very spacious for 2 people. Staff were amazing and so hospitable. We even tried a traditional Japanese breakfast there which you have to book in advance but was a lovely experience. Would highly recommend staying here

Although I booked a quad room with a sitting area, we were given a smaller room. This is the only con with our stay at the ryokan.

We enjoyed our stay with Kaminarimon Ryokan very much. The location is amazing, close to the train station and we've had a wonderful time exploring Asakusa. The ryokan was unique, very clean and has a calm and soothing atmosphere. The staff were amazing. All of them were friendly and professional. They helped us with our baggage and airport transfers. The breakfast was very good. We really enjoyed the breakfast especially on the last day. Definitely will recommend to family and friends.

-I was initially told by staff I could be served breakfast in my Japanese style room , but was told later in night that I would have to go down to restaurant level due to low staff - despite this , the breakfast was still very good and special - and the chef was definitely a character and very nice with his explanations I’d recommend giving it a try even if you have to eat downstairs - for price of the room, providing some aromatic herbs and mineral salts for the bath would have been very nice additons - I would say bath was very a accommodating to my 170cm body

A lot of this hotels appeal is the location and view it provides of sensoji / the shopping street - and I must say that view is one of a kind - being able to see the street before tourist arrived in the morning was something very special and being able to hang around the area at night without fear of getting back to my hotel as a solo travelled was super serene and could not have been experienced without this hotel - I got one of my favorite pictures of trip with Tokyo sky tree lit up in background of the ground window - for the room itself it was certainly the largest of all my stays, I took an extremely satisfying bath, the toilet was the most high tech of the whole trip and the futon bed was comfortable -though limited with interactions the staff I interacted with was kind -the fridge having a couple of beverages that were actually not charged was also a very nice addiction - I would definitely stay again if given the opportunity

That we didn't get a chance to stay longer

The room was so spacious and felt really Traditional with the addition of modern amenities. Staff were so lovely, able to recommend resturants to visit, even looked up a tattoo friendly onsen near by for us. They were non-judgemental of our tattoos. Definitely worth the stay and we will be coming back again.

It was perfect, we loved it.

If you like shopping, Nakamise markets are right at your doorstep. If you like to cook, Asakusa has everything you need. Skytree is around the corner. When we arrived at the hotel, the entrance was a lift, but as soon as we entered the lobby, it was like I stepped back in time. The 3 staff members were in kimono 👘 and it was amazing. Our room was absolutely perfect, just like the pictures on Bookings.com. We are definitely going to stay there again, it's so central to everything.

The only downside is when we check out. We were two women carrying 5 luggages, one would expect the staff to help us to bring the luggage to taxi point, which is right in front of the hotel on the main road.

Location is great, can’t get closer to Kaminarimon. Breakfast is also good, although expensive. Twin room is clean and modern, especially spacious for us to open 4 luggages at the same time. Bathroom is also spacious, shower is with good pressure. There is also laundry machine for use for a very cheap price.

There was nothing that we didn’t like. It was all incredible.

Superb in every way - rooms, beds, facilities, staff. Outstanding experience.
