Anne Hostel Yokuzuna

Asakusa & Sumida River


Anne is an efficiently run and friendly operation. Spacious dorms (with between four and eight beds) offer broad bunks constructed from sturdy steel scaffolding and sumo-sized mattresses. There are also some private rooms, but these also have bunk beds. All share spotlessly clean bathrooms. Rates are slightly higher on Friday and Saturdays.

It's handy for the sumo stadium and is larger than its sister hostel in Asakusabashi.
