Guest rooms that balance playful design with the convenience of a comfortable stay

The “Yose Twin Room,” a concept room inspired by “yose”—Asakusa’s symbol of comedy—is a Western-style room that incorporates Japanese elements such as shoji screens and lantern-style lighting. It’s comfortable because you can take off your shoes and relax.The spacious guest room allows you to take off your shoes and relax comfortably, and depending on the guest room, you can even enjoy a view of Tokyo Skytree® from the window.

Although the guest room is compact, thoughtful touches for a comfortable stay are found throughout. For example, large suitcases can be stored in a dedicated space under the bed and retrieved only when needed.Another welcome feature is that the bath, toilet, and sink are separate.
The room is also charming for its playful touches, such as the red carpet inspired by a traditional rakugo stage and the headboard featuring the characters for “full house.” It was a space where convenience and enjoyment coexist, perfect for a relaxing stay.

After changing into comfortable, soft-to-the-touch robes, I was able to relax in a space brimming with the essence of Asakusa.

3.Dining

Whether on the premises or at the neighborhood’s long-established eateries, savor Asakusa’s hidden culinary gems

The “OMO Food＆Drink Station,” where you can drop by anytime, 24 hours a day

One spot you’ll definitely want to visit inside the hotel is the “OMO Food & Drink Station” at OMO Base (Travelers' Fun Lounge), a 24-hour self-service shop.With a lineup of about 100 items, it’s great that you can freely choose your favorite options to suit your travel style or the mood of the day. Among them are collaboration products available exclusively here with local neighbors, such as Inari sushi from “Fukujuya,” a shop deeply rooted in the Asakusa neighborhood.

It’s not just convenient—the biggest draw is being able to discover delicious local treats right from within the hotel. It’s a space that satisfies both the desire for a quick bite and the wish to experience the authentic charm of Asakusa.

Enjoy breakfast while gazing at Tokyo Skytree®, featuring limited-edition bread from the long-established “Cake Shop Terasawa”

For breakfast, head to “OMO Food＆Drink Station.” Since I’d booked a plan that included a 1,000-yen voucher valid for breakfast at the hotel, I was able to pay easily by scanning a QR code.

Amid a lineup of tempting foods, I purchased the limited-edition “Croque-Monsieur”—a collaboration between the renowned local Asakusa shop “Cake Shop Terasawa” and OMO3 Asakusa by Hoshino Resorts—as well as their popular cream cornet.The croque-monsieur was hearty and very satisfying, while the cream cornet had light whipped cream and a mild, easy-to-enjoy sweetness.
The OMO Food＆Drink Station is equipped with a coffee machine, microwave, and toaster, so I toasted the bread I’d bought in the toaster before eating it. Breakfast—with a cup of freshly brewed coffee and a piece of traditional, handmade bread in hand, while gazing at Tokyo Skytree®—was a truly luxurious way to start the day.

For lunch and dinner, use the Go-KINJO Map (Local guide map) to fully enjoy Asakusa’s culinary delights

For lunch and dinner, I visited restaurants listed on the Go-KINJO Map (Local guide map).
For lunch, we went to “Grill Grand,” a Western-style restaurant located in the Kannon-ura area north of Senso-ji Temple. In the restaurant’s retro Showa-era yet sophisticated interior, we savored the smooth cream croquettes, packed with the rich flavor of crab, and the omelet rice. The flavors of this long-established restaurant, beloved for many years, truly satisfied our hearts.

In the evening, I visited “Komagata Dozeu,” founded in 1801, and experienced their “dozeu nabe” (loach hot pot)—a dish boasting over 200 years of history—in a space that retains the atmosphere of the Edo period. Thanks to the Go-KINJO Map (Local guide map), I was able to experience the deep culinary culture of Asakusa that I would have had a hard time discovering on my own.

4. Activities

From guided tours to nighttime events—a wealth of experiences to feel Asakusa’s “Iki” (culture)

Experience the “iki” spirit of Asakusa on daily guided tours of local shops

In the evening, I joined the “Asakusa Jōzu no Iki Meguri” tour, which takes participants to a different “stylish” local spot in Asakusa each day. First, we learned in depth about Asakusa’s history and culture from the “OMO Rangers”—who know the neighborhood inside and out—before heading out into the streets.

Actually, I learned that during the Edo period, Asakusa was a “town of paper” where recycled paper production flourished. After listening to an explanation that incorporated historical texts from that era and learning about the historical background, we headed to “watashino,” a shop that carries washi goods hand-made one sheet at a time by washi artisans.We got to touch these meticulously crafted washi goods and even experience paper-making firsthand. It was a special moment where we could truly experience Asakusa’s culture of craftsmanship firsthand.

Evening events brimming with Asakusa charm to savor the afterglow of your sightseeing

In the evening, we headed to “Asakusa Yoimise,” a nighttime event held at OMO Base (Travelers' Fun Lounge).The space, lined with rows of lit paper lanterns, takes on an atmosphere completely different from daytime—it feels just like the approach to Senso-ji Temple at night. Once an hour, footage related to Asakusa’s “seasonal calendar” is projected onto the large windows, allowing visitors to enjoy lively scenes of the town throughout the four seasons.The visuals blended beautifully with the real night view spreading outside the window, creating an experience you can only have here.

Additionally, starting at 9:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, there’s an event where you can casually enjoy live rakugo performances. Listening to rakugo up close was incredibly immersive.
In addition, a “Shime-Oyatsu Yatai” (Dessert Stall) made an appearance in a corner of OMO Base (Travelers' Fun Lounge). I combined ice cream from a local shop with monaka wafers to create my very own custom ice cream monaka.
Soaking in the atmosphere of Asakusa, I spent a moment perfect for wrapping up the day.

Visit Senso-ji Temple when it’s free of tourists. Experience the unique morning scenery on the “How Chic! A Morning Stroll Through Asakusa” tour

In the morning, I joined an early-morning guided tour of the Senso-ji Temple grounds called “How Chic! A Dawn Stroll Through Asakusa.”

The meeting point was the rooftop terrace. The guided tour began with a refreshing feeling as we gazed at the Tokyo Skytree® and Senso-ji Temple in the morning light.In stark contrast to the daytime bustle, looking down on Senso-ji Temple from above—enveloped in silence—was a refreshing experience and a sight only available to hotel guests.

Afterward, we ventured into the quiet temple grounds, free of tourists. The time spent strolling leisurely through Senso-ji Temple in this serene atmosphere was something unique to the morning guided tour.During our stroll, our guide pointed out some photo-worthy spots, and we captured the special morning scenery of Senso-ji on camera. Through the guided tour, we learned about the history of Senso-ji and Asakusa Shrine, as well as their deep connections with the local community, which deepened our understanding of Asakusa.
