Experience of the stay
A must-see for sauna lovers! Comfortable stay at "Hotel Plus Hostel Tokyo Asakusa 1"
"Hotel Plus Hostel Tokyo Asakusa 1" is perfect as a base for sightseeing in Asakusa. It's especially irresistible for sauna lovers with its capsule-type accommodations.
【♨ Large bath & sauna for men to unwind】
The facility is equipped with a large bath and sauna! Although there is no cold bath, you can cool down properly with a cold water shower. While there isn't a separate relaxation space, the large bath is spacious enough for a comfortable break. Being able to enjoy the sauna casually along with your stay is a delightful bonus!
【Comfort & security in the dormitory】
The capsule-style dormitory beds come with outlets and hangers, ensuring a comfortable stay. Additionally, secure lockers for valuables and space for luggage are provided, enhancing security.
Moreover, there is a luggage storage service before and after check-in, allowing you to move around freely during your sightseeing!
【🚶♂️ Excellent access! 5-minute walk from Asakusa Station】
Located just a 5-minute walk from Asakusa Station, popular attractions like Kaminarimon, Nakamise Street, and Senso-ji Temple are right nearby. Whether it's a trip focused on sightseeing or enjoying the sauna, this accommodation is perfect for both.
I highly recommend this hidden gem in Asakusa for those looking to enjoy both sauna and sightseeing!
Experiences during the trip
Instead of visiting popular spots like Asakusa, I headed to Otsuka. My target was the renowned rice ball shop, "Bongo," which every rice ball lover must visit at least once!
The rice balls, gently shaped, spread happiness with every bite. This time, I chose three types: salmon, tuna simmered in soy sauce, and mentaiko cream cheese.
The classic salmon is reliably delicious, the sweet and spicy simmered tuna pairs perfectly with the rice, and the rich mentaiko cream cheese is a luxurious flavor that melts in your mouth.
These outstanding rice balls are worth the trip to Otsuka. Though I initially planned to stop by casually, I've already decided to return and try different fillings next time!
