MIMARU Tokyo Asakusa Station is an apartment-style hotel in the Kaminarimon area of Taito City, near Sensoji in the Asakusa area. Part of the MIMARU chain, the property is designed for families and groups, with all rooms featuring full kitchens and living spaces rather than the compact layout of a typical city hotel.
Several room types are available. The Family Apartment and River View Family rooms sleep up to four adults and two children, each with two single beds and a bunk bed. The One-Bedroom Apartment and River View One-Bedroom accommodate up to six adults and two children, with four single beds and a bunk bed. The largest option is the Deluxe Two-Bedroom Suite at 71m², which sleeps up to eight adults and two children across four single beds and two bunk beds, with a master bathroom and a separate shower room.
Every room has a kitchen equipped with an IH cooktop, cookware, dishes, and utensils, along with a refrigerator and microwave. The hotel is built around self-catering – guests cook in their rooms or eat out locally. Other in-room amenities include free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, a safe, a humidifier and air purifier, a washlet toilet, and a hair dryer. All rooms are non-smoking.
Shared facilities include a coin laundry. The hotel offers luggage delivery services through Japan Post and private couriers, as well as a MIMARU-branded luggage forwarding option. Baby beds and bed guards are available free of charge with advance notice, subject to availability. Staff speak English and Japanese, with some multilingual staff members able to assist in additional languages depending on who is on duty.
The hotel is a one-minute walk from Exit 4 of Asakusa Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, and a two-minute walk from Exit A5 of Asakusa Station on the Toei Asakusa Line. Haneda Airport is roughly 50 minutes away by train, and Narita Airport about 55 minutes. Sensoji Temple, the Sumida River, and Tokyo Skytree are all within walking distance.
