OMO3 Asakusa by Hoshino Resorts, a city tourism hotel operated by Hoshino Resorts, opened on July 31, 2023, in Taito-ku, Tokyo. With its central location, a 4-minute walk from Asakusa Station and a 1-minute walk from Sensoji Temple, the hotel offers great views of Sensoji Temple and Tokyo Skytree® throughout its premises. Asakusa is a town packed with so many attractions new and old, and it is always bustling with activity, especially at Sensoji Temple. OMO3 Asakusa seeks to offer guests experiences that allow them to enjoy Asakusa to the fullest as if they were Edo natives who are familiar with the stylish Asakusa.
Enjoy the stylish yet nostalgic Old Tokyo, Asakusa to the fullest
Asakusa developed in the Edo period as a temple town centered around Sensoji Temple. It drew many people and became the birthplace of a variety of entertainment, including rakugo (traditional Japanese storytelling) and puppet theater. Even today, you can see shrines and temples coexisting in Asakusa with old and new stores as well as various entertainments, making the area one of Japan's most popular tourist destinations with its fusion of retro vibes reminiscent of the Edo period and present-day local Tokyo. To enjoy Asakusa to the fullest, our staff who are experts in the area through their own research will propose different options for the area. Asakusa is a popular destination in general but visits at night or early morning certainly show a different side to the location.
Local Guide Activities
In addition to the iconic Senso-ji Temple and Nakamise Street, which are popular sightseeing spots in Asakusa, the hotel also plans to offer guided tours and in-house activities for guests to experience the increasingly popular Oku-Asakusa area and its dining options, Edo vibes, and present-day local Tokyo.
OMO Ranger Tour: Asakusa Morning Stroll

With the ring of the temple bell at 6:00 AM, guests are guided to explore the precincts of Sensoji Temple during a less crowded and quiet time of day.
