Koenji Temple

Friendly staff that speaks decent English. 5 min walk to station. Locate between Ueno and Ahikihara.

This Apart Hotel was our first stop upon arriving in Asakusa, and it was the perfect choice for our family. We selected Asakusa after watching KenjoQuest’s YouTube video about Tokyo's different wards, looking for a quiet, family-friendly area with a traditional old-town Tokyo vibe. The hotel is located in a charming neighborhood that exudes a "Reply 1988" atmosphere, with small convenience stores, restaurants, cafes, and vending machines on nearby corners. It has a welcoming small-town community feel while still being close to major attractions like Sensoji Temple and its bustling Nakamise Street, Don Quijote, and even Starbucks. You can start your day with a walk to a local café or 7-Eleven for coffee, grab a drink from a vending machine, and enjoy people-watching as the neighborhood comes to life. The hotel itself is clean and modern, being recently renovated. They even offer a van shuttle service to the airport if pre-arranged. The room has a separate toilet/bidet room and a washroom featuring a wet bathing area with both a shower (standing or seated) and a tub. There’s a small kitchen equipped for meal prep, and the highlight for us was the washer/dryer combo—an absolute lifesaver for traveling in Japan. The room also had a small dining/sitting area, with the sleeping area tucked away for privacy. Another great perk is the hotel’s ability to arrange luggage transfer and receive deliveries (pocket Wi-Fi rentals). We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

This was perfect for a family of four. We had comfortable beds for everyone! The location is great we were able to get around Tokyo via several different nearby stations. Also the washer Dryer in the unit came in handy several times. I would stay here again.
