Asakusa View Hotel
SaveA high-rise hotel in the middle of Asakusa, walking distance from Sensoji.
Airport buses stop at the door, so arrival day needs no transfer.
MoreWhat kind of place
This is a 28-story city hotel in the middle of Asakusa, connected directly to Asakusa Station on the Tsukuba Express.
The restaurant on the 26th floor cooks in a kiln built from Mount Fuji lava rock, and breakfast there runs to about 90 dishes.
The fifth floor has a 20-meter (66-foot) heated pool under a glass ceiling that slides open, and hotel guests can use it for a fee.
Children of elementary age and younger swim in July and August only, until 6 p.m. and with a parent along, and children still in diapers cannot go in at all — swim diapers do not change that.
With kidsThe part that matters
Land at Haneda and you can skip the trains: the airport bus pulls up at this hotel's front door 65 to 85 minutes later.
Dinner on the 26th floor starts at 5 p.m., with high chairs and a kids' corner, so you can eat and be finished early with small children. Tokyo Skytree stands right outside the glass.
Tables are not assigned on request, though, and some seats in the main hall have no view, so reserve a window seat (¥1,000 for a pair, ¥1,500 for a table) if that is what you came for.
Sensoji and the Hanayashiki amusement park are both about a 5-minute walk, so you can head back to the room whenever the day runs long.

By age0-1 / 2-3 / 4-6
- Ages 0-1The 26th-floor buffet takes children from age 0. Baby food may be brought in — there is a microwave on the 6th floor — and dinner service starts at 17:00, so you can be finished before bedtime. From the tables you look out at Tokyo Skytree standing right in front of you, and at Sensoji.A baby bed is lent free of charge, by reservation and in limited numbers; a four-person room has no space for one. The cut-off is by stage of development rather than age or weight — children who can pull themselves up to stand are asked to refrain — and one plan page still carries the opposite wording, so confirm with the hotel if it matters to you. There are two nursing rooms, inside the 1F women's restroom and beside the 4F cloakroom; their hours are sometimes limited, so ask staff. Diaper changing tables are in five places: the 1F restroom, the 3F and 4F women's restrooms, the women's restroom inside Musashi on 26F, and the 28F universal restroom, each with a diaper-only bin beside it. Guest rooms can also borrow a diaper bin free from the front desk. Airport limousine buses come to the front door: 65-85 minutes from Haneda at 1,300 yen for adults and 650 for children, 100-120 minutes from Narita at 3,100 and 1,550.
- Ages 2-3Hanayashiki, Japan's oldest amusement park, is about a 5-minute walk, and Sensoji and Nakamise-dori are 5 minutes too, so when legs give out you are back in the room for a nap almost immediately. The 26th-floor buffet has a kids' corner and a kids' menu, and high chairs can be borrowed on both the 26th and 27th floors.Preschoolers can share a bed, one child per bed. Twin beds cannot be pushed together — one is moved against the wall instead, so a gap stays between them — and a bed guard is lent free, first come and by reservation. Toilet seat reducers and a kids' step stool are also free from the front desk, in limited numbers. The 5th-floor heated pool is something to look forward to once they are out of diapers, since swim diapers do not count either. On the "children welcome" plan, dinner for ages 3 to pre-elementary is 1,300 yen on weekdays and 1,600 on weekends and holidays. Food allergies are handled individually if you tell them the ingredients at least 5 days before the reservation date.
- Ages 4-6Once out of diapers, they can swim in the 20-meter heated pool on the 5th floor, under a glass roof that opens; children of elementary age and under swim in July and August only, until 18:00, with a guardian along. From in front of the hotel, the Tobu Bus Skytree Shuttle reaches Tokyo Skytree in about 15 minutes, running weekends and holidays only.The pool is pay-per-use: 3,300 yen for adults and 2,200 for children of elementary age and under. Floats and the like cannot be brought in, and entry is capped when it gets crowded. It is open to you from after check-in until before check-out, and the heated pool is the only part guests can use — the gym and sauna are members-only. The breakfast buffet is 4,500 yen for adults and 2,600 for elementary schoolers, served 7:00-9:30 with no reservations, so there can be a wait at peak times. Children's yukata, slippers, and toothbrushes are lent free, first come and by reservation.

- One Day in Asakusa with Small Children
A temple and an amusement park a few minutes apart. There is no nursing room inside the temple grounds — here is where the nearest one is, and why 0–4s get into the park free.
Where it is
3-17-1 Nishiasakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo 111-8765source
Before you go
- The airport bus runs straight to the hotel door: 65 to 85 minutes from Haneda (¥1,300 adults, ¥650 children) and 100 to 120 minutes from Narita (¥3,100 and ¥1,550), with tickets sold at the ticket machines or the information counter in the arrivals lobby.source
- The 26th-floor buffet faces Tokyo Skytree head-on, with grilled dishes from the Musashi kiln alongside Japanese, Western and Chinese food, and both the tower and Sensoji visible from the tables. You cannot request a seat. Window seats are paid reservations (¥1,000 for a pair, ¥1,500 for a table), and some seats in the main hall have no view.source
More notes (5)
- Dinner on the 26th floor starts as early as 5 p.m., so families with small children can be finished early.source
- Breakfast runs to about 90 dishes, with a kiln built from Mount Fuji lava rock at the center of it: dashi-rich omelets finished in front of you, bread from Honoka, the bakery on the first floor, warmed again in that kiln just before it goes out, and old-Tokyo plates like pickles from long-established makers and soft oboro tofu. The whole window is Asakusa and Skytree in the morning light.source
- The fifth floor has a 20-meter (66-foot) heated pool under a glass ceiling that slides open, and this is the pool hotel guests may use.source
- The hotel stands in the middle of Asakusa, so the places children head for are all within walking distance: by the hotel's own count, Hanayashiki, Japan's oldest amusement park, is about 5 minutes on foot, Sensoji and the Nakamise shopping street 5 minutes, and Tokyo Skytree with Solamachi and the Sumida Aquarium about 25 minutes on foot and by train.source
- The stop for the loop bus between Ueno and Skytree is right in front of the hotel: the Tobu Bus Skytree Shuttle reaches Tokyo Skytree in about 15 minutes, and it runs on weekends and holidays only.source

This high-rise hotel in Asakusa puts Sensoji Temple, the Nakamise shopping street and the Hanayashiki amusement park within walking distance. With small children, that means the room is a short walk away when a day has to end early. Buses from Haneda and Narita airports stop at the door. High in the building, the breakfast room faces Tokyo Skytree, and the food runs from made-to-order omelets to old-Tokyo pickles and tofu.
