If you want to save on accommodation costs when traveling independently in Tokyo, I highly recommend staying in the Asakusa area. There are many affordable hostels and backpacker inns around Asakusa, and many of them are newly opened or focus on stylish design. So if you are traveling to Tokyo alone and do not mind staying in a hostel or capsule hotel, Asakusa truly offers many high-value options. If you cannot accept shared bathroom facilities, the average room rates of regular hotels in Asakusa are still much cheaper than those in Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Ginza. Although there is no JR line passing through the area, there are plenty of subway options. There are also many great restaurants around Sensoji Temple and Kaminarimon. This article rounds up several Asakusa accommodations, including newly opened hotels. If you are looking for budget hotels, you can refer to this list. Some capsule hotels are truly beautiful.
Reasons to Recommend Staying in Asakusa
If you ask why I recommend staying around Asakusa when traveling in Tokyo, one of the main reasons is its transportation advantage. The Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, Toei Asakusa Line, Tobu Skytree Line, and Tsukuba Express all intersect here. From Asakusa, you can go directly to major city areas such as Ueno, Ginza, Omotesando, Shibuya, Akihabara, and Nihonbashi. The only drawback is that there is no JR line, but other railway options are available. It is also very convenient to get to the airport. From Asakusa, you can take the Access Express directly to Narita Airport without transfers, with a one-way fare of around 1,300 yen.
Another advantage is that you can walk to Sensoji Temple, Kaminarimon, and Nakamise Shopping Street. In spring, you can also stroll to Sumida Park to enjoy the cherry blossoms. As one of Tokyo’s major tourist areas, the entire neighborhood has a high concentration of restaurants, drugstores, and supermarkets, so there is no need to worry about dining or shopping.
Most importantly, compared with accommodation prices around Shinjuku, Ginza, and Tokyo Station, hotel rates in Asakusa are generally more affordable. There are many good-quality double rooms available for around TWD 3,000 per night. The accommodation types are also very diverse, including Japanese-style hot spring hotels with large public baths, family-friendly apartment hotels, and high-value business hotels. From 2025 to 2026, many newly built hotels have also opened, making it easy to find suitable options whether you are traveling with children, friends, as a couple, or solo as a backpacker.
Recommended Asakusa Accommodations
OMO3 Asakusa by Hoshino Resorts
Hotels under Hoshino Resorts are always highly praised. OMO3 Asakusa by Hoshino Resorts, which only opened in August 2023, offers brand-new facilities that you do not need to worry about at all. Combined with Hoshino Resorts’ consistent dedication to “local experiences,” this Asakusa accommodation has a unique character from the inside out.
When it comes to Asakusa accommodation, location is always one of the biggest concerns. OMO3 Asakusa is only a 1-minute walk from Sensoji Temple, and about a 4-minute walk from Asakusa Station, which serves the Ginza Line, Asakusa Line, and Tobu Skytree Line. Convenience stores and bus stops are all nearby, making daily necessities very easy to access. Both the guest rooms and public spaces offer views of Tokyo Skytree and the Asakusa cityscape.

MIMARU Tokyo Asakusa
If you are traveling to Tokyo with family, small rooms and separate rooms can often be inconvenient. However, the apartment-style room design of MIMARU TOKYO ASAKUSA STATION makes it one of the most popular family-friendly accommodations in Asakusa. MIMARU Tokyo Asakusa is less than a 2-minute walk from Exit 1 of Asakusa Station on the Ginza Line. It is right next to Sumida Park, and Sensoji Temple is only a few hundred meters away. In spring, you can enjoy cherry blossoms, and in any season, you can admire views of Tokyo Skytree. The apartment-style rooms start from 60 square meters, and all guest rooms are designed with at least two bedrooms, accommodating up to 6 people. Everyone has their own bed and private space, making both adults and children comfortable. Room choices are also diverse, including one-bedroom suites, two-bedroom suites, and Japanese-style suites. Rooms with bunk beds are especially suitable for families with children, as kids love climbing up and down. For groups of friends, the two-bedroom type is a great choice, allowing everyone to have independent space and making the stay more relaxed.
One of the biggest reasons many travelers choose MIMARU as their Asakusa accommodation is that every room comes with kitchen facilities, including a microwave, induction stove, and dining table. You can buy ingredients and cook for yourself without any problem. When traveling with children, one of the biggest concerns is that outside food may not suit their taste. With a kitchen, you can cook your own meals and save quite a bit on dining expenses. It is also excellent value for travelers staying for a longer period. In addition, every room has a washing machine, so you do not need to overpack your luggage and can do laundry during the trip.
MIMARU Tokyo Asakusa has very high ratings on booking platforms. Up to two children under six can stay for free, making it a truly family-friendly hotel. The spacious living room and separated bedroom design allow adults and children to each have their own activity space without disturbing one another. At night, adults can chat in the living room while children go to bed earlier in the bedroom.

BUNKA HOSTEL TOKYO
BUNKA HOSTEL TOKYO is a hostel in Asakusa with a wonderful overall atmosphere, service attitude, and design quality. Designed by Riko Takahashi, the entire space skillfully combines traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern design, aiming to let travelers from around the world experience the most beautiful side of Japan. Transportation is also very convenient at BUNKA HOSTEL TOKYO. From Asakusa Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, Tobu Railway, and Toei Subway, or from Tawaramachi Station on the Ginza Line, it takes about 5 minutes on foot to reach the hostel, and it is easy to find with Google Maps. What worries travelers most about hostels is cramped bed space and the awkwardness of facing strangers directly. BUNKA’s bed design solves this issue by deliberately staggering the openings of the beds, so neighboring guests do not face one another directly. You will not have the awkward experience of staring at someone when waking up in the morning. In addition, each bed comes with a personal locker of a decent size, so travelers carrying laptops or DSLR cameras can safely store their valuables without worrying about security.
The hotel offers an optional breakfast, including toast, boiled eggs, mashed potatoes, juice, and coffee, at an affordable price, making it suitable for travelers who want a quick breakfast. BUNKA HOSTEL was renovated from an older building, which allows it to offer very budget-friendly accommodation prices in the heart of Asakusa’s shopping district while still maintaining surprisingly good design quality and service standards. Being able to stay in the prime location of Asakusa at hostel prices offers a double value that is truly hard to find elsewhere in Tokyo!
