Steps from Senso-ji yet on a calm street, Ryokan Asakusa Shigetsu is repeatedly called guests' favourite stay of their Japan trip: a traditional inn with Japanese-Western rooms, futons or low beds, and a top-floor bath with striking views. Rooms impress by Tokyo standards, with one guest calling theirs the most spacious in two weeks, though another found theirs narrow and oppressive. The small bath fits one person at a time, so guests take turns. Staff give excellent restaurant tips.
