Do You Know Asakusa? One of the Most Authentic Areas in Tokyo

Asakusa is one of Tokyo’s most popular neighborhoods for travelers seeking an authentic taste of Japan.
At its heart stands Senso-ji Temple, the oldest Buddhist temple in Tokyo and one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Walking from the famous Kaminarimon Gate through Nakamise Street toward the main hall is a memorable experience—especially for first-time visitors.

Traditional architecture, the gentle scent of incense, and the quiet rituals of prayer create a unique atmosphere.
Unlike Tokyo’s modern districts, Asakusa offers a rare glimpse into old-town Japan, where history and culture are still part of everyday life.

Why Not Experience an Onsen in a Truly Japanese Neighborhood?

No introduction to Japanese culture is complete without mentioning onsen.
Soaking in natural hot springs is a time-honored way to relax, recover from travel fatigue, and reset both body and mind.

After a full day exploring Asakusa on foot, returning to a warm onsen in the evening is one of the most satisfying ways to end the day.
It transforms a busy sightseeing schedule into a slower, more meaningful travel experience.

3. Why an Onsen Hotel Is the Best Choice for First-Time Visitors

Many travelers are curious about visiting an onsen but feel unsure about the rules or etiquette.
Local day-use bathhouses often present challenges, such as:

  • Limited English explanations
  • Unwritten local customs
  • Unpredictable crowd levels

This is where onsen hotels make all the difference.

Hotel onsen facilities usually offer:

  • Clear instructions in English
  • A traveler-friendly environment
  • High standards of cleanliness and security

For those new to onsen culture, staying at a hotel with an onsen is the most comfortable and stress-free way to enjoy this uniquely Japanese experience.
