Zen philosophy and the worldview of praising shadows
"The Zen philosophy of seeking answers within oneself, a worldview that praises shadows and finds art in the darkness, and an avant-garde attitude that is not bound by tradition.
All the things that were truly important were in the tea room."
Based on this concept, the 10-room "Tea Room Ryokan Asakusa" offers a special lodging experience where tradition and modernity blend together. In the tea room space, where indirect lighting flickers, you can experience the "extraordinary life of Oku-Asakusa" away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Official website
Sophisticated design by a renowned architect
The Ryokan Asakusa Teahouse was designed by architect Keisuke Maeda (UID) and features 11 rooms in a limited space of just 85m². The rooms are compact, ranging from 9m² to 23m², just like a teahouse, but elements of traditional Japanese architecture are scattered throughout the building.
The space was created by experts from various fields, with branding and graphic design by Kazunari Kitagawa (GRAPH) and landscaping by Toshiya Ogino.
"We spent over three years carefully considering the type of accommodation and the concept. As it is in Asakusa, we aimed to create a modern yet traditional style inn that would allow foreign guests to experience traditional Japanese etiquette, appearance, and space, as well as the sense of distance and size between people," says Maeda Keisuke.
Unique guest rooms with a tea room motif
Tea Room Ryokan Asakusa's guest rooms, while each with its own unique character, share a common motif of a "tea room." They are characterized by low ceilings, compact spaces, and a beauty that has been thoroughly stripped away from all unnecessary elements.
Main room types
Tea Room Gratte ciel : Our most popular room, featuring an open-air bath with a view of the Skytree.
Tea Room Suite Den : A two-room room gently separated by antique blinds and folding screens.
Tea Room Suite Fusuma : A room featuring modern sliding doors designed by American Japanese painter Alan West.
Tea Room Suite Sugi : A guest room with a cedar wood motif and large windows letting in plenty of light.
Asakusa Teahouse : Guest rooms that maintain the atmosphere of a teahouse while being designed to be as comfortable as possible.
Although each guest room is small, like a teahouse, it incorporates traditional elements of Japanese architecture throughout, such as yukimi shoji screens, hanging shoji screens, transoms and other openings, as well as alcove and alcove pillars. The lighting is designed to be subdued, allowing you to relax in a quiet setting.
A luxurious open-air bath with a view of the Skytree
On the top floor, there is a private open-air bath with a view of Tokyo Skytree. This open-air bath, which can be used for 45 minutes by any guest staying in any room, is a Towada stone bathtub and an open space open on three sides. You can relax in this cypress open-air bath surrounded by plants while feeling the atmosphere of the old town.
A luxurious Matsusaka beef dinner at Chashitsu Nigo
At the sister restaurant "Chashitsu Nigo", located an 8-minute walk from Chashitsu Ryokan, you can enjoy a luxurious dinner course including Matsusaka beef sukiyaki and dashi shabu-shabu in a tatami room with a view of the Skytree.
The menu, which uses carefully selected Matsusaka beef, is sure to satisfy both tourists visiting Asakusa and foreigners. There are six counter seats on the first floor, and a Japanese-style room with tatami mats on the second floor. From the tatami room on the second floor, you can enjoy your meal while looking at the Skytree peeking through the gaps, known as the "Sukima Tree."
The delicate hospitality that only a ryokan can provide
At the Ryokan Asakusa Teahouse, you can experience the traditional Japanese customs of taking off your shoes at the entrance, washing your feet in a basin, and then putting on tabi socks. This kind of detailed experience of Japanese culture is especially appreciated by foreign tourists.
For breakfast, we serve a Japanese-style breakfast prepared by the staff, including pesticide-free, sun-dried rice, miso soup with plenty of vegetables, and three side dishes.
