Experience of the stay
The 2025 Asakusa Sanja Matsuri takes place from May 16 to 18. Having just completed the Baishatun pilgrimage, I was still excited and immediately headed to Tokyo to experience the Japanese festival activities.
When planning the trip to Tokyo, I had kept an eye on the accommodation situation in the HafH Asakusa area, and Hotel Sunroute Asakusa can be said to be one of the best hotels during this season.
Hotel Sunroute Asakusa is an old-fashioned hotel, and you can feel the era's atmosphere as soon as you see the building's exterior and step into the hotel. The main structure is old, but it has the romantic charm of old schools; the rooms have ample space.
The hotel is just a short walk from Tawaramachi Station, so you don't have to drag your luggage for a long distance. The Kappabashi kitchenware street is right next door, and Sensoji Temple is a 10-minute walk away. Shopping streets, delicious food, and good drinks are within easy reach.
The rooms are clean, and the beds are very comfortable. There is a water dispenser and ice maker on the same floor, which is very convenient.
Experiences during the trip
The highlight of this trip, aside from the Asakusa Sanja Matsuri, was the food exploration, but on the second day, Tokyo encountered rain, which slightly dampened the enthusiasm. Some traditional famous restaurants, such as Unagi Ryori Sekigawa and Hatsuogawa, were closed due to the festival. However, as a food enthusiast, I still managed to indulge in a lot of delicacies, including:
• Asakusa Sukiyaki Old Store Chinya
• Sanju Coffee/Chocolate Shop Kabuki
• Akihabara Platform Milk Shop Milk Shop Luck
• Tokyo Station Underground Classic Cafe The Depot
• Ginza Classic Coffee Café de l’ambre
• Unagi Restaurant Anagoya Ginza Hirai in a back alley of Ginza
• Yakitori Miyagawa Yotsuya near Yotsuya Station
Lastly, I, of course, climbed the 600 steps of Tokyo Tower to wrap up this quick flash visit to Tokyo on a beautiful note.
Tokyo is always fun, and I just want to keep playing😍
