Designed by local Asakusa craftsmen, Wired Hotel Asakusa is furnished floor to ceiling with unique interiors and amenities that showcase admirable local talent. It even has a shop that sells local handcrafted items!
Like other popular hostels, Wired Hotel Asakusa has its own café-bar-restaurant called ZAKBARAN which is an Edo-style eatery that serves authentic Japanese cuisine with only the best local and seasonal ingredients. It’s also where regular cultural and community events hosted by the hotel take place.
