Hotel
Aman Tokyo
A serene luxury hotel on the top floors of Otemachi Tower, pairing minimalist Japanese design with a spa, 30-metre pool and city views.
A design-conscious hostel in Kuramae, with a ground-floor lounge that runs as a café by day and a bar at night.
Good to know
Nui. is a hostel in Kuramae, a low-key neighbourhood of workshops, craft shops and coffee bars just south of Asakusa, and it suits travellers who want a sociable budget base with character. The upstairs rooms are simple and natural, finished in wood with a mostly white palette and earthy accents, while the large ground-floor lounge is the heart of the place.
That lounge operates as a café from 8:00 until 18:00, serving specialty coffee, morning plates and homemade sweets, then becomes a bar and dining space from 18:00 with original beer, sours and cocktails, drawing in locals as well as guests. The Sumida River is a short stroll away, and Kuramae and Asakusa stations put you on direct lines across the city. Book directly or check details with the hostel before travelling.
