Overview of Cyashitsu Ryokan Asakusa

Nestled in Tokyo's historic Asakusa district, Cyashitsu Ryokan Asakusa offers a serene escape that beautifully blends the tranquility of traditional tea ceremony with contemporary urban comfort. This boutique ryokan stands out for its rooftop open-air baths that frame stunning views of Tokyo Skytree while providing the privacy that tattooed travelers often seek in Japan's onsen culture.

โ€‹

Unlike many accommodations in Tokyo, Cyashitsu embraces the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi (finding beauty in imperfection) through its minimalist tea-room-inspired design, creating a pocket of calm just moments away from iconic landmarks like Senso-ji Temple. Here, you can experience authentic Japanese hospitality without leaving the city center.

Bathing Experience & Onsen Etiquette

Imagine sinking into the warm embrace of a cypress wood bath as the iconic Tokyo Skytree illuminates against the night sky. Though not fed by natural hot springs (rare in central Tokyo), Cyashitsu's rooftop open-air baths create an equally memorable experience through thoughtful design and ambiance. The aromatic cedar wood surrounds you as you soak, creating a multi-sensory retreat from urban exploration.

For tattooed travelers, these private baths offer something precious in Japanโ€”freedom to enjoy traditional bathing culture without concerns about policies or uncomfortable glances. Select rooms even feature in-room outdoor baths surrounded by miniature gardens, allowing you to enjoy the ritual of Japanese bathing in complete privacy any time you wish.
