Know before you book
- Tokyo Skytree stands over Oshiage station, which is served by the Hanzomon, Toei Asakusa and Keisei Oshiage lines, with the Tobu Skytree Line’s Tokyo Skytree station alongside. Kinshicho is one stop south on the Hanzomon line and also a JR Sobu line station.
- Kinshicho is the bigger hub: JR trains run to Akihabara and Tokyo Station without a change, and the area is full of shops and restaurants. Oshiage is quieter, and you can walk to Skytree.
- Asakusa and Senso-ji are a few minutes away by train from Oshiage, on the Toei Asakusa line or the Tobu line from Tokyo Skytree station. From Kinshicho, Lotte City Hotel puts Senso-ji at about twenty minutes by bus.
- From Oshiage, Toei Asakusa line trains run through onto the Keisei and Keikyu lines, so some services reach Narita and Haneda airports without a change — check the timetable for your flight.
- If you want to see Skytree from your room, three hotels here offer it: Super Hotel Tokyo Kinshicho Ekimae and HOTEL TABARD TOKYO have Skytree-view rooms, and at Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo the north-side rooms face it. Book that room type specifically.
- Prices here are per person with breakfast, for two sharing. Saturdays can cost far more than Wednesdays: at Keisei Richmond Kinshicho the top of the range goes from ¥24,000 to ¥52,000. Some listings include Tokyo’s accommodation tax and others collect it at the hotel.

What we dropped
| Property | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| HOTEL TABARD TOKYO | Runner-up (60/100) | 60/100. Skytree-view rooms in a small hotel, but category scores averaging 4.18 took one star for quality, a 4.20 average took two for trust, and with no rooms in our search window value fell back to the three-star baseline. |
| Moxy Tokyo Kinshicho (Marriott) | Runner-up (58/100) | 58/100. A noon check-out and round-the-clock lounge, but weeknights at 168% of the median took one star for value, and 57 reviews averaging 4.33 took two for trust. |
| Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo | Runner-up (55/100) | 55/100. The biggest review count here, but category scores averaging 4.23 took one star for quality, a 4.32 average took two for trust, and weeknights at 117% of the median took two for value. |
| Richmond Hotel Premier Tokyo Schole | Covered elsewhere | 4.56 across 2,064 reviews, one minute from Oshiage and facing Tokyo Skytree Town, but it is already in our Asakusa guide, so we left it out to avoid repeating it. |
| Tsuruya Ryokan | Covered elsewhere | 4.66 across 562 reviews and nine minutes on foot from Skytree, but it is a five-minute walk from Asakusa and already in our Asakusa guide. |
| Asakusa View Hotel | Outside the theme | 4.58 across 4,502 reviews and faces Skytree, but it is linked to Asakusa station on the Tsukuba Express — it matched only because its listing names the Tobu Skytree Line, not because it is near Oshiage or Kinshicho. |
| 771 hotels | Below the floor | Fewer than 50 reviews, or an average below 4.0. |
Questions visitors ask
Oshiage or Kinshicho — which should I stay in?
Oshiage if Skytree is the point: Tokyo Skytree stands over the station, and the Toei Asakusa line takes you towards Asakusa. Kinshicho, one stop away on the Hanzomon line, is the busier hub, with JR trains to Akihabara and Tokyo Station and plenty of places to eat. All five hotels here are within a few minutes of one or the other.
Which hotel is closest to Tokyo Skytree?
ONE@Tokyo by insomnia, about three minutes on foot from Skytree. Keisei Richmond Hotel Tokyo Oshiage is one minute from Oshiage station, at the foot of the tower. From Kinshicho, Lotte City Hotel says Skytree is three minutes by train, and Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo is about twenty minutes on foot.
Can I see Skytree from my room?
Super Hotel Tokyo Kinshicho Ekimae has rooms that look out on Skytree, HOTEL TABARD TOKYO sells a Skytree-view room type, and at Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo the north-side rooms face the tower. The view comes with a specific room type, so book that type rather than counting on luck.
Which hotels have English-speaking staff?
Going by Rakuten’s language field: at Lotte City Hotel Kinshicho most staff handle everyday English; at Tobu Hotel Levant Tokyo most staff understand some; at Keisei Richmond Hotel Tokyo Oshiage a few do. Keisei Richmond Kinshicho, ONE@Tokyo and Super Hotel Kinshicho do not say, so ask when you book.
How much do these cost?
The table shows the cheapest price per person with breakfast, for two sharing, from Rakuten Travel’s availability search for Wednesdays and Saturdays between 18 November 2026 and 9 January 2027, checked on 9 November. Weeknights start from about ¥6,000 at Super Hotel Kinshicho to about ¥10,000 at Lotte City; Saturdays from about ¥11,000 to ¥15,000. No breakfast-inclusive rooms came up for ONE@Tokyo in that window, so it has no measured price — and Rakuten lists no dining room there, so a breakfast plan may not exist.
Which one would you book?
Keisei Richmond Hotel Tokyo Kinshicho: 77/100, the top total, with the best room and cleanliness scores here, at about ¥8,000–24,000 per person on a weeknight. If you want to walk to Skytree, Keisei Richmond Hotel Tokyo Oshiage scores 73 and is one minute from Oshiage station; ONE@Tokyo scores the same and is closer still, but we could not measure its price.
