One of the oldest pockets of Tokyo, Asakusa is also one of the most fascinating. From the well-trafficked streets surrounding the downtown Asakusa area, to the iconic and historic Sensoji Temple, a visit to Tokyo isn’t complete without spending a little time in this bustling yet traditional corner of the city. One of the best ways to really explore everything Asakusa has to offer is to consider spending a few nights in the area. The neighbourhood is home to a seemingly endless selection of accommodation options, from budget stays to classic Japanese ryokan style offerings, here are some of the best.
