Experience of the stay
This time, I stayed at this somewhat unusual hotel in Asakusa due to suddenly freeing up my schedule.
It was very close to attractions such as the station and Senso-ji Temple, making it convenient for both tourism and business. As the hotel name suggests, the front desk and rooms feature a chic Art Deco design, creating a calm atmosphere with simple yet sophisticated interiors. Particularly impressive was the mini-kitchen and cooking utensils provided in the guest room, which seems great for a slightly longer stay. For those who want to relax in Asakusa, this facility that allows self-catering is very appreciated!
Moreover, there was a free water and drink service, which was incredibly helpful during the overly hot summer in Tokyo. The staff was kind and made it comfortable to stay, even with a sudden booking.
Not only is it comfortable for solo travelers, but it also seems to have rooms with many beds, making it a recommended facility for families as well.
After this stay, I thought I would definitely like to use this again when I come to Asakusa (o^^o).
Experiences during the trip
Upon arriving in Asakusa, the first stop was a stroll in Asakusa's Rokku district. It was possible to feel the old-fashioned atmosphere and enjoy the unique fusion of history and modernity. After that, I took in the views of Tokyo Skytree and Senso-ji Temple, savoring the scenery unique to Asakusa. During the dusk at Senso-ji, I spent a calming time in its majestic atmosphere.
Later, I also visited Hoppy Street, tempted by monjayaki and Hoppy but managed to resist this time.
The next day, I wanted to go to Hanayashiki, but I heard I would have to line up from morning, so I gave up on that too (T_T)
Since I wanted to take my time for lunch, I found an Italian restaurant called 'Ciccio' by chance on the way. I indulged in authentic Italian cuisine, enjoying a leisurely time with wine from noon. It was a luxurious moment to drink wine during the day, and I felt great.
This trip, where I thoroughly enjoyed the charm of Asakusa, was a wonderful experience that allowed me to enjoy both culture and gourmet food. Next time, I hope to include Hanayashiki and have an even more fulfilling journey!
