Visitors can watch the dance of Asakusa geisha from the Asakusa Hanamachi, a hanayanagi (flower and willow) district that emerged in the mid-Edo period, while enjoying light refreshments, and can also enjoy silent films, dialogues between silent films and live benshi, shamisen and koto music, silent films, and more. At the premium lounge “FURUMAI” on the top floor, Asakusa’s famous sweets will be served with drinks.
There are four room types: Standard, Moderate with tatami mats, Deluxe with a small living room and view bath, and Concept to fully enjoy the world of Asakusa, Edo, and Kabuki. The hotel has a total of 199 rooms, 35 of which are Japanese-style rooms and 35 of which are Western-style rooms.
