Asakusa is a fascinating district in Tokyo with unique attractions and age-old sites. Culinary enthusiasts must visit Kappabashi Kitchen Town to find all kinds of crockery and cookware, as well as plastic food models. Asakusa is also known for Sensoji Temple, an ancient temple dating back to around 628 AD. There’s plenty to do here for fun and cultural immersion as well, like visiting the Hanayashiki amusement park or attending the numerous traditional festivals and fireworks displays.

The district is 7 kilometers (4.35 miles) away from Tokyo’s central district and about 30 minutes from Akihabara. It boasts a wide range of accommodations, including hotels with views. If you’re looking for something more private, check out the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Asakusa, Tokyo.

5. Stylish Airbnb with an outdoor bath (from USD 419)

Highlights Couple Travel Luxury

I think this luxury Airbnb east of Tokyo’s center is a perfect treat for couples looking for VIP-worthy comfort amidst busy streets. Take off your shoes and marvel at the brightly lit living space where you can lounge about and watch TV. A few steps from the sofa is a wooden panel door that, when opened, reveals a complete yet tiny kitchen.

Upstairs, guests can revel in relaxation in the king-sized bed wrapped in silk sheets. There is a hybrid toilet-sink next door, and the outdoor bath and shower area in the fully fenced balcony is a true sight to behold.
