Things to See near Richmond Hotel Premier Asakusa International

Asahi Super Dry Beer Hall – 10min walk

If you've been out drinking in Japan, there's a high chance you drank Asahi. Often referred to as the "golden poo building" this Asahi Super Dry Hall. The golden building next to it is the Asahi headquarters.
Go inside and you'll see an Asahi beer history exhibition (1st floor), get to try new and limited kinds of beer at the Asahi Craftsmanship Brewery (2nd floor), and along with some restaurants and popular bars (22nd floor).

Asakusa ROX – 3min walk
ROX is a big shopping and entertainment
complex consisting of a main building
and three annex buildings.
In the basement, there is also
a 24hr supermarket!

Hanayashiki (浅草花やしき) – 3min walk​
 The oldest amusement park in Japan!
Hanayashiki opened as a flower park in 1853, 
now it's operating as an amusement park with 20 kinds of attractions.
Since it's so close to the hotel, 
it's a good and new way to have fun experiencing an old side of Japan.

The main highlight though is that Richmond Hotel Premier Asakusa International is a 5min walk from Sensoji Temple (浅草寺, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple)!! So you will be able to hang around there as early or late as you like.

Checking into the Hotel

Take the elevator to the 5th floor and you'll arrive at the hotel lobby.

Richmond Club Members; Check-out is at noon

The counter is equipped with a comprehensive translation commentary and multi-national service staff. If you want to get any information or make reservations at say the Ninja Restaurant or something, please ask them for assistance!

Normally getting membership cards while you travel isn't on your mind, however, we truly felt this one was worth it. It's a free card that gives you discounts, add points, and more importantly, lets you push back check-out time an hour (from 11am to noon) free of charge (normally costs 1000yen a day)! The discount is 10% and can be discounted to the next stay or breakfast (1 point for 1 yen). Richmond Hotels are universal, so even if you don't live in Japan you can earn and redeem these benefits!

JamLabel is a three-in-one shampoo + bath + face wash that is doesn't include silicone or synthetic oils. It's a non-complex product that is great for sensitive, allergic skin.

If you would prefer to use something else, organic brand POLA in a small sample set is also available. Hair ties, bath salts, and more are also available so if you need anything just ask! 

What Can’t Be Missed around the Lobby
