Wonderful hotel in a great location. Senso-ji is just outside the premise. Tokyo skytree is nearby. Subway nearby so access to other places in Tokyo sites were easy. Plenty of stores and restaurants nearby. Hotel was clean and staff were all excellent in being helpful. We had our luggage forwarded from Kyoto and it was seemlessly taken care of. Luggage was already brought to our rooms ahead on check in. Variety of local snacks with the coffee and tea station in the lobby was greatly appreciated. The public bath is a hot tub soak and not true Onsen but still nice for those who want a soak. We had the larger tatami room next to the public bathhouse on the top floor. Music and voices which could be heard through the walls one night but it was just one group. Housekeeping was daily unlike some of the other hotels we stayed at which only provided it every 3rd night. Overall a great experience!

If you want to stay in a Ryokan, I'd highly recommend this one. Gorgeous Japan Western rooms, with low beds and an onsen upstairs for guests.

Very central to Asakusa station and the Senso-Ji pagoda. Lots of restaurants too and a new Don Quixote!

Had a lovely time here, wish I'd booked longer.

This traditional Japanese hotel is in the center of Asakusa and near the shrine. Lots of vendors for shopping and people watching. The Japanese people are very gracious and respectful, and our hotel staff was excellent! I enjoyed experiencing the Japanese tradition of sleeping on the floor, however, it was hard on my hip joints because I am a 65-year-old female and I like to sleep on my sides. The subway system is very close by so you can travel through the city.

Great traditional hotel, wish we could have stayed longer but it's quite pricey. Wonderful rooms with futon beds, great experience and actually we found it very comfortable. We had multiple rooms one of which was on the 6th floor which has incredible views!!! The public bath also had the same amazing views - definitely recommend and would definitely return. Also location was perfect, right in the middle of the hustle!

This ryokan was excellent-George very close to the temple and metro station in Asakusa. The staff were very helpful giving us great restaurant recommendations.

The room itself was spacious – by far the most spacious we’ve had in our two week trip. We really struggled in some places – especially the business Hotel with space .The hot baths at the top of the building were excellent.

I would definitely stay here again. This was our favourite accommodation.

Unfortunately we stayed at this Ryokan only one night, but all members of the family, included me, wished we could stay longer. The property is in the heart of action (shrine, markets), but at the same time is a bit secluded and surrounds you with calm and peace as you step in. Our room, on the top floor and two separated bedroom and well designed and equipped bathrooms. Everything was new and well designed. In our short stay we managed to use their hot bath facility (fantastic), step on the rooftop for views of the pagoda and shrine and helped ourselves to tea/coffee/snack in the common room downstairs. The staff went above and beyond suggesting us places where to eat, go for Karaoke (including which system to request for more songs in English), and which entrance to use for the subway - since we had many bags and needed an elevator. I highly, highly recommend this Ryokan and for sure we will be back the next time in Tokyo.

Charming ryokan near Sensoji. Thought it would be noisy at night but not at all. Staff warm and welcoming on our arrival and the public bath was a lovely especially after a long day of travelling from Ehime prefecture. Room cosy and welcoming. Slept so well. Plenty of places nearby for food, etc. Room was air conditioned which was a bonus.

Traditional Japanese inn located a stone throw from Senso-ji temple. Our room contained futons and floor seating in the Japanese style and was immaculately clean. Shigetsu offers single gender communal baths which provide amazing views. Staff are helpful, friendly and polite. I strongly recommend this inn. I will stay again if ever in Tokyo.

The room is clean and spacious, perfect for our group of 4 (2 adults + 2 children, age 10 and 7). The staff are friendly and helpful. The 6th floor onsen is a very nice amenity considering that you are in the middle of a bustling Tokyo neighborhood! We will definitely be staying here again. Thank you!

Staying at this ryokan was truly one of the most special parts of our trip to Japan. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness. The staff were incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and respectful — always caring for the smallest details and making us feel at home.
The location is simply perfect. Being in the heart of Asakusa, just a couple of blocks from Senso-ji Temple, allowed us to experience the magic of the area early in the morning and in the peaceful evenings. Walking through the neighborhood felt like stepping into traditional Japan.
The atmosphere of the ryokan — its quiet elegance, traditional design, and calm energy — made it the ideal introduction to Japanese culture and traditions. It wasn’t just a place to stay; it was an experience that set the tone for the rest of our journey.
We are truly grateful for our stay and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable beginning to their time in Tokyo.

I stayed here recently, and honestly—this place delivered everything.
The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, the room was beautiful and spotless, and all the facilities were top-tier. The on-site onsen was such a highlight too; it gave me that real, cozy ryokan vibe without even leaving the hotel. I absolutely loved it.

The location was super convenient as well, making everything easy and stress-free.

I’m 100% coming back on my next trip. This hotel is now officially on my “must-stay-again” list.

This was such a charming and relaxing stay. My son and I were looking for a slow arrival into Tokyo, with culture since it was his first time. We loved it! The hotel service was amazing, it was located in such a beautiful part of Asakusa and close to pretty restaurants and shops!

The onsen is small but you get a view of either the temple or Tokyo Skytree AND it’s tattoo friendly. The rooms were exactly what we were expecting and since we just arrived and didn’t have the “extra baggage” of shopping yet, it was perfectly sized.

Can’t wait to go back and relax!

We are already booking our next trip there!!

I can’t say enough good things about this ryokan! This was our favorite hotel we stayed at in all 3 cities we stayed in Japan. First of all, the location is great. Walking distance to many restaurants, konbini, activities, shopping, temple and more. The staff is exceptionally kind and helpful, on our last day we even had the gentleman working the front desk help find our lost taxi driver and lead him to the hotel on foot in the pouring rain. The front desk workers explain the entire hotel and how the rooms work upon arrival. The rooms are traditional and very clean. The onsen is more of a tub versus a mineral hot spring but still lovely facility that has a TATTOO FRIENDLY onsen bath. The baths aren’t private but there is a sign on the outside indicating whether or not it’s in use and I think people will avoid for that reason because I had it to myself for an hour. They provide traditional tatami robe to wear around the hotel. Free snacks and drinks during certain hours. We really had such a great time here, pricing was so affordable as well. Highly recommend!

The Ryokan Asakusa Shigetsu was wonderful. We only stayed one night but I would have loved to be there more. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, very proud of their ryokan. It is in a great Asakusa location for shopping, Senso-ji Temple, and Asakusa station and a great price. The women's bath had an amazing view of the Tokyo Sky Tree lit at night. We stayed in a. Traditional Japanese room and loved the experience. Highly recommend.

Great place to stay. I was initially disappointed to learn after booking that they no longer serve food, but as it turns out there are many great placed to eat nearby. They kindly held our bags for the day and graciously allowed us to pack and reorganize ourselves in the back area before heading to the airport. They extended themselves beyond what was expected in order to help us find an accessible way to the transit. Highly recommend this place, would stay again.

Besides the room which looked very beautiful with nice amenities , what is truly outstanding on this property is the staff. They all go above and beyond to help the customers and in my over 30 years of traveling, I have never met such dedicated workers.
First of all when we checked in, we had an issue with our luggage, which was sent from a hotel in Kyoto the day before but unfortunately had not arrived. I was really worried because we had to fly back home the next day. I taked to the staff and they called the shipping company and solicited a search. Two hours later our baggage was all in our room, when we came back from lunch. Then the next day after we checked out they booked a cab for us to Tokyo station as asked the day before and they carried all our luggage to the taxi. Unfortunately once we were on the Narita express my husband realized that he left his phone in the cab. The hotel called me up a minute later letting me know that the cab driver had found our phone and asking me how they could help. I asked if they could ask the cab driver to come to the airport and drop off the phone. And they did. The cab driver rushed to the airport and was happy to return the phone. These are the reason why you should definitely stay at this hotel, without the hotel staff' help I wouldn't have been able to communicate with the cab driver or the luggage shipping company.

Lovely stay in Ryokan. Very near to the major attractions, walking distance to Senso-ji temple and see the pagoda from the hotel room. Love the stay and clean room. There was a welcome pack for each person in room. The shower facility is modern and new. They also provide free coffee and hot tea/drinks at the lobby. Staff very friendly and explained in details about the room and made us feel very welcomed.

This is the BEST place I have stayed in among my 4 visits to Japan! I will come here again in my next visit! I was able to walk around Sensoji Temple in early mornings and nights. So many dining options. Only need to take 1 train from Narita Airport to hotel that took about 1 hour only. So easy to go to other areas within Tokyo and even Nikko. Staff are all very accommodating and helpful. Rooms are large for Tokyo's accommodation standards. Great amenities! Great onsen experience! I booked this Ryokan more than 6 months in advance...needed 3 rooms and there was only 4 rooms left, so book early, as it's so sought after! Overall, GREAT place to stay in for Tokyo!

Ryokan Asakusa Shigetsu is and will continue to be my go-to place to stay in Asakusa. The public bath is wonderful, and it's right nearby the places I need to visit. Despite being in the thick of Asakusa, it is quiet and comfortable. I'm sad they aren't doing breakfast anymore, but the reason I can't give 5 stars this time was because of the room - it was truly tiny, and there was no place to use my computer.

This was the first hotel of 12 I stayed in while in Japan. Honestly if we don't even look at the location (Next to Senso-ji). It was a great little room with everything in working order. The public bath on the upper level was beautiful and empty every time I managed to use it. We were here for just 2 nights and it was a highlight of the trip. Very close to everything and fairly spacious for a japanese room. All of the staff were lovely and yukatas were provided. I would gladly stay here again.

The establishment is right by the historic Asakusa District, within walking distance from the Senso-Ji temple. If you get up early, it gives you a chance to see the popular landmarks, like the Kaminari Mon (the Thunder Gate with the distinct giant red lantern), before the crowd arrives. The area is full of great Soba shops, Udon shops, izakayas, and tempura places. The staff is the epitome of Japanese hospitality, always considerate, always in a state of readiness to help you. I like to stay in their traditional Japanese rooms and sleep with my face against the tatami mat.
