Experience of the stay
OMO3 Asakusa by Hoshino Resorts opened on July 31, 2023.
Located just a 1-minute walk from Senso-ji Temple, it's perfect for sightseeing in Asakusa. I stayed there on the very first weekend after it opened, and I was able to see the illuminations of both Tokyo Skytree and Senso-ji Temple from my hotel room, which was simply fantastic.
Using the travel subscription HafH, I stayed on a Friday, and since the price was the same for all days, I was able to enjoy a great deal at a weekday rate!
In conclusion, the lounge with a 24-hour convenience store "OMO Food & Drink Station" was fantastic, and I thought it was a really cost-effective hotel if you take the free early morning tours and listen to Rakugo.
OMO3 Asakusa by Hoshino Resorts is about a 4-minute walk from the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line "Asakusa Station Exit 7" and about a 7-minute walk from the Toei Asakusa Line "Asakusa Station Exit A5." It faces a main road along Umamichi Street on the east side of Senso-ji Temple, but the inside is very quiet.
Let me introduce the room we stayed in, the “Yose Twin Room,” at OMO3 Asakusa by Hoshino Resorts! Inspired by the symbol of Asakusa entertainment, “Yose,” it features a red carpet and purple cushions like those used on stage.
It's 18.3㎡, so it's not very large, but when I opened the big window, the spacious view of the Skytree made the size feel just fine.
The shower booth has an overhead shower. This overhead shower has great water pressure and a wide area from which water comes out, making it quite excellent.
The shampoo, rinse, and body soap provided are original products from Hoshino Resorts.
OMO3 Asakusa by Hoshino Resorts does not have a restaurant or café that serves breakfast. However, the 24-hour self-service "OMO Food & Drink Station" on the 13th floor allows you to buy drinks and light snacks.
As for the food menu, there are rice balls, bread, inari sushi, cup noodles, and instant soup, etc. The bread includes popular items from Asakusa's Terasawa and Kuraju Bakery, cream-filled cornet, sandwiches, Asakusa red bean buns, and fruit sandwiches.
I was pleased with the lineup of local specialties like inari sushi from Fukujuya, which was founded in 1922, and rice balls from the specialty store maimai.
Be careful as some products may be sold out depending on the time of day.
There are various snacks and sweets, including local delicacies like
Experiences during the trip
I visited Senso-ji Temple and enjoyed Asakusa gourmet food. I also participated in the hotel's early morning tour of Senso-ji Temple, and it was great to stroll through the quiet Nakamise Street, Senso-ji Temple, and Kaminarimon.
There are plenty of charming Asakusa gourmets, such as Kamiyabur, famous for Electric Bran, Gyoza King, which has delicious light gyoza, and SUKE6 DINER, which serves delicious breakfast.
The day after my stay, I took a water bus to Hamarikyu and stayed at Mesm Tokyo again using HafH. It turned into the best 2-night, 3-day course in Tokyo, highly recommended for anniversaries!
Of course, even a short 1-night solo stay in Asakusa can be thoroughly enjoyable. Asakusa in OMO is particularly recommended. Please give it a try!
