    Such a wonderful place to stay in the heart of Asakusa. Everything was perfect to the last detail. Loved the room and views! So comfortable and the staff are so welcoming. Hope to stay here again one day. Best hotel I've stayed in Japan in 7 trips!

    They said that brekfast and dinner was not availble that day...It was a real shame

    Luxury Ryonkan with exceptional view of Senso ji and Tokyo Skyetree from reception and from the rooms to. Apartment is very big for Japanese standard, good bathroom and tatami floor in the living room. Futon bedrooms were a very positive experience. Staff super nice and they speak well English. From the near metro station you can take directly line to Haneda airport

    I wish I booked more time here - this accomodation was in another league to the other Japanese hotels I stayed at during my trip.

    It was close to two key train lines and I had full view of Kaminarimon Gate from my window. The property was clean, modern and easy to get to. Most of all, the staff were exceptionally helpful - they learned I liked a certain type of natto and when I showed them that I bought the wrong natto, they actually went out and bought me the chopped natto that I actually wanted. I was blown away. Their tips for nearby ramen and massage were also on point. I'm so glad I got to stay here at the end of my trip.

    Nothing, really. But I do hope they allow breakfast in room, I would love to have them on the low table on tatami mat. But I wouldn’t mind having breakfast with strangers in lobby since I was solo traveller.

    Spotless clean room. Friendly and helpful front desk staffs. Emails were replied quite fast, quick response. Beautiful breakfast. The best location in Asakusa. Really the highlight of my solo trip.

    Such a good location near the Senso gi temple. Spotlessly clean. Very Japanese with tatami mats and a deep bath. Staff are very helpful and speak English. A laundry to wash and dry clothes. Very quiet room. Elegant hotel … I really can’t fault it. Well worth the money. Japanese breakfast if you want it.

    Nothing. Everything was great. Although my wife said some bath salts would be a good addition to the bath.

    Amazing! I can't thank the Kaminarimon Ryokan enough for the incredible experience I had during my stay. From the moment I stepped in, I felt like I had entered a tranquil oasis in the heart of Japan. The attention to detail in the traditional Japanese design of the ryokan, along with the warm and welcoming staff, made me truly appreciate the beauty of Japanese culture and hospitality. The tatami room was comfortable and authentically Japanese, and the private bath was sublime, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the local way of life. This stay was more than just accommodation; it was a genuine cultural experience that I'll cherish forever. Domo arigato gozaimasu, Kaminarimon Ryokan, for making my Japan journey exceptional!

    Nothing everything was perfect

    We travelled for three weeks in Japan and this was our favourite ryokan. If I could give more than 10/10 I would. The staff are amazing, so gracious and helpful. The whole place has an air of peacefulness about it despite being in the centre of a popular tourist attraction. The rooms are spotlessly clean and very traditional. The view from our room was incredible. This place is fantastic. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

    They didn't offer lunch. They didn't offer dinner. A kaiseki dinner fixed by their chef would have been something to look forward to all day.

    This is the first time we had breakfast at the Kaminarimon and we are so glad we did. The kaiseki breakfast was exquisite. A feast for the eyes and a treat for the palate. The ambiance was enhanced by the decor of crafts artfully placed and the soothing music gently piped in. What a wonderful experience to wake up to. In addition, I loved the peaceful serenity of the ryokan. It was a soothing refuge from the hustle and bustle of Nakamise Street which you could view from the quiet of the room.

    Love how clean and shiny the toilet is except the sensor kept opening the toilet lid and spray water to clean it while using the sink to wash up.

    Very close to the train station. Right next to the temple gate and above Starbucks. The room and bathroom are spotless. Staff are very polite and speaks English. Hotel has lots of traditional decorations.

    nothing.

    This is a dainty very clean hotel with superb air con ( August is HOT ), warm, polite ,attentive staff, so from the beginning we felt at home. We stayed two nights in the Japanese style rooms which are very minimalistic and calm and we stayed another night later on in our trip in normal rooms before we flew home. They were also wonderful and perhaps a little bigger if you prefe more space.It is above a Starbucks cafe and close to ATM's the tube and the shrine and market. The extra costs were government taxes in cash ( about £6 GBP ) and to use the washing machines ( £3 ) - not much extra at all. The staff went the extra mile to ensure that we were happy.
