Tokyo, Japan - Recommended Scenic Business Hotel: Keisei Richmond Hotel Tokyo Oshiage

On the last night of a 23-day solo trip in Japan, considering the convenience of getting to Narita Airport, I chose the Keisei Richmond Hotel Tokyo Oshiage, located right across from the Tokyo Skytree. The Richmond chain brand is a business hotel with an extremely high cost-performance ratio, especially the one at Oshiage Station. Not only does it have direct Skyaccess to Narita Airport, but it also has two subway lines, the Toei Asakusa and the Hanzomon, making transportation very convenient. At the same time, it boasts an unbeatable view of the Skytree, and with a Sushi Zanmai restaurant right downstairs, it couldn't be more convenient. I booked early and chose the Skytree View Comfort Double Room. The room is about 20 square meters with a double sofa and a comfortable bed. The view of the Skytree from the window is nice, but the view from the 13th-floor outdoor terrace is even better, with an unobstructed direct view of the Skytree. The room rate is $3600 per night, and an additional $360 for breakfast. The normal price for a Skytree view room is over $5000, so booking early definitely has its perks. I've tried the breakfast before, and the food is actually quite good, including fried shrimp tempura. Eating while looking at the Skytree from the second-floor restaurant is quite enjoyable. Typical business hotels in Tokyo offer self-service amenities in the lobby, but Keisei Richmond goes the extra mile. In addition to toiletries, they also provide three types of bath tablets and face masks! The face masks are a real treat, as Tokyo is dry and sunny, and it's necessary to take good care of your skin. Of course, I had to take advantage of the free offer!
