Asakusa, home to Tokyo’s oldest temple Senso-ji, has flourished as a temple town since the Edo period. With its old-school charm and strong ties to local culture, it remains one of Japan’s most popular sightseeing spots. And right in the middle of this lively neighborhood is B:Conte Asakusa.

The hotel stays true to its “stay as you live” motto, with fully equipped kitchens and washer-dryers in every room, something you’d be hard-pressed to find in other spots in Tokyo. Each room is set up like a condo, complete with furniture, appliances, and kitchen wares. And because of this comfort (not to mention its prime location), B:Conte attracts repeat visitors from all over the world.

Below are six reasons why international visitors love B:Conte Asakusa.

Each room comes with a full kitchen, including an IH stove, sink, fridge, microwave, rice cooker, dishes, and tableware. There’s even a washer-dryer, making it perfect for budget-conscious guests planning longer stays.

From the upper-floor rooms, guests can enjoy a one-of-a-kind Tokyo view of Tokyo Skytree(R) and Senso-ji Temple in a single panoramic sweep.

Check-in is smooth and hassle-free thanks to the self-service system, which means no waiting in line. Payments can be made by credit card or cash.

Right outside the hotel is Hoppy Street, a retro alley brimming with old-school izakaya, nostalgic cafes, restaurants, and shops that capture the Showa-era vibe. Senso-ji Temple is just a 3-min walk away, and Japan’s oldest amusement park, Asakusa Hanayashiki, is 5 min on foot.

There are many rooms at B:Conte Asakusa. Here are some that international guests love most.

This 24-square-meter room features a 160 cm wide queen bed by Simmons and accommodates up to two guests. It’s a popular choice thanks to its practical layout and cozy size.

The Sky Premium Room sits on the top floor, offering 26-square-meters of space and a queen-sized bed for up to two guests. It has the same amenities as other rooms, but the unbeatable view is what really sets it apart!

From this room, you can not only see Tokyo Skytree(R) and Senso-ji Temple, but even Denbo-in Garden, a nationally designated scenic spot that’s normally closed to the public. You’ll also feel the energy of Hoppy Street, a retro Japanese izakaya alley, giving you a full taste of Asakusa’s unique charm.

The room also comes with a Nespresso coffee machine and four complimentary capsules, so you can enjoy a cup of premium coffee while taking in the view.

The 40-square-meter Suite Room accommodates up to three guests, with a separate bedroom featuring a 200 cm wide king-size bed and a spacious, separate living area.

The living room is furnished with a wide sofa that also serves as a daybed, offering a comfortable, homey atmosphere, true to the hotel’s “stay as you live” motto.

Special features in the Suite include a dining table, a Nespresso machine, and a sleek, high-performance Balmuda microwave. There are also two spacious walk-in closets and a bathroom with a tub, making it perfect for your stay.

For those looking for a more budget-friendly trip, the Standard Room is a great choice. While it’s smaller in size and might not have the same stunning views as the other rooms, it offers the same full kitchen and in-room appliances as the larger one, ensuring your stay is comfortable nonetheless.

Now let’s take a look at the extensive amenities available in every room at B:Conte Asakusa.

The kitchens are spacious enough for two adults to use comfortably, and include a temperature- and timer-controlled IH stove, a large sink, a fridge with a freezer compartment, an oven microwave (you can even bake cakes!), a rice cooker, and an electric kettle. Everything you need to cook is right here, even pots, pans, knives, and dishes.

Any kitchen tools you can’t find in your room are available 24/7 from the rack near the front desk. They also offer free rentals (limited quantity) of toasters, fryers, fondue sets, and Japanese cookware like clay pots and takoyaki grills.

IH pots and hot plates are available for rent at 500 yen per day (same-day rentals only).

The front desk also sells travel-sized portions of seasonings like soy sauce, oil, and salt & pepper (150 yen each, available during front desk hours). And with convenience stores and a 24-hour supermarket nearby, stocking up on groceries is easy.

One of the inconveniences of a longer stay is having to do your laundry. But at B:Conte Asakusa, every room has its own washer-dryer, and even detergent is provided for free of charge, so you can do your laundry whenever you like!


The controls are in Japanese, but English instructions are available in the printed manual and on the TV’s info channel. Each room also has an iron, so you can touch up your clothes right before heading out.

Rooms are designed with stylish furniture and decor, with one favorite feature being the walk-in closet. Who doesn’t love having plenty of space to store their suitcases?

Rooms also include a 4K TV that supports screen mirroring and popular streaming services, and an intercom that connects to the hotel entrance.

The room wear (one size), towels, and slippers are all carefully selected for quality and comfort. When you check-in, you’ll receive a free mineral water, and can also help yourself to the disposable items, such as toothbrushes, from the amenity bar in the 1st floor lobby.

The hotel also offers gentle, additive-free shampoos and shea butter body creams at the front desk for free, which is great for babies and those with sensitive skin. Other items you can rent for free include LED candle lights, high-performance hair dryers, hair irons, humidifiers, and air purifiers.

You can also get welcome snacks and drip coffee, black tea, and green tea to enjoy in the comfort of your own room.

(Available between 7 AM - 9 PM)

Guests staying multiple nights who opt out of daily room cleaning will get certain eco-friendly gifts, depending on the length of your stay, another nice bonus that supports your happiness, and sustainable living.

Guests love the showers at B:CONTE Asakusa for their strong water pressure and generous flow. Every room is also equipped with a popular ReFa shower head, and bath amenities by Provinscia, a brand known for their rich lavender and almond scents.

With fine microbubbles and soothing aromas, guests can look forward to a truly relaxing bath time.

Here’s what a one-night, two-day stay at B:Conte Asakusa might look like.

So you’ve just arrived at the hotel. Note that the automatic entrance doors are usually locked, so just inform a staff member so they can let you in.

Drop off your luggage at the front desk, and head out for a stroll to grab some snacks, drinks, and something for breakfast before check-in (starts at 3 PM).

Just a 5-min walk from the hotel is Asakusa ROX, a shopping complex with restaurants, shops, a gym, and a spa with an open-air bath. In the basement you’ll also find a 24-hour Seiyu supermarket.

Inside ROX, you’ll also find the popular home goods store MUJI and the 100-yen shop Daiso, along with other favorite stores like Don Quijote and Uniqlo, all of which are super popular with international visitors. So take some time to check out the shops as you wander the streets of Asakusa.

Once it’s check-in time, you’ll need your QR code, name, passport, and booking number to complete the self process. If you get confused at any point, the front desk staff will be happy to assist.

After arriving and unpacking, take a moment to unwind as you help yourself to the welcome drinks and sweets, or snack on the goodies you picked up on your walk.

In the evening, head out to Hoppy Street to check out a Japanese-style izakaya. These casual pubs offer a variety of small dishes meant for sharing with friends and enjoying with drinks, all at a reasonable price.

So what does “Hoppy” mean? This refers to a beer-flavored beverage made from malt and hops, originally created as a cheaper alternative to beer back when it was a luxury item, later becoming a nationwide hit. The izakayas along Hoppy Street are especially nostalgic, with a retro Showa-era vibe you won’t find elsewhere.

The Japanese way to unwind at the end of the day is with a relaxing soak in the tub. But even if your room only has a shower, the gentle spray from the high-end shower head is worth experiencing. Or, if you’re up for something more traditional, head to one of Asakusa’s public bathhouses for a taste of an authentic Japanese bath!

Fall asleep while gazing at the Tokyo night skyline, with the Tokyo Skytree(R) glowing in the distance.

On your second day, take a nice, early-morning walk to Senso-ji Temple. The vibe at this time is completely different from the bustling crowds of the day.

Back in the hotel, whip up breakfast in your own kitchen with some fresh, high-quality Japanese ingredients for delicious flavor you simply can’t get anywhere else.

Once you’ve packed, enjoy the rest of your time watching videos or just chilling out until the 11 AM checkout.

Note: Please do not leave behind any unwanted items like suitcases, strollers, or electronics in your room. You may be charged a disposal fee later.

Whether you want to indulge in Japanese cuisine or enjoy a familiar breakfast in the morning, or do your laundry whenever you like as if you were still at home, B:Conte Asakusa is the place to stay. With a relaxed, home-like atmosphere and none of the formality of a typical hotel, it’s great for medium- and long-term stays of a week or more, as well as family trips. The spacious suites and kitchen-equipped rooms make it especially comfortable for families with young children.

So if you want to see the sights without sacrificing comfort, make yourself at home at B:Conte Asakusa and enjoy everything Tokyo has to offer!
