About a 2-minute walk from Asakusa Station on the Toei Asakusa Line, Asakusa Hotel Hatago features an open-air observation lounge with a view of the Skytree, Sumida River, and Tokyo's spectacular night skyline. In July, the Sumida River Fireworks Festival takes place right in front of the hotel.

Every detail of the Asakusa Hotel Hatago's decor has a Japanese feel to it. All guest rooms are tatami-matted, and the hotel achieves a calm atmosphere reminiscent of that of ancient Edo through its shoji screens, writing desks, and wallpaper.

Asakusa Hotel Hatago's rooms are Japanese-style and feature the outstanding comfort of Simmons beds. The new building opened in June 2020, upgrading the hotel and increasing the level of comfort and convenience.

Although the rooms themselves offer no view, the hotel is conveniently located near the station and easily accessible from the airport, making it popular with both international travelers and Japanese who want to go sightseeing in Asakusa.
