Outcall Massage at Richmond Hotel Asakusa — In-Room Booking Guide

Staying at one of the two Richmond Hotels in Asakusa and want a massage delivered to your room? This guide covers both properties: Richmond Hotel Asakusa (217 rooms, 2-7-10 Asakusa) and Richmond Hotel Premier Asakusa International (270 rooms, 2-6-7 Asakusa, lobby on 5F). Both sit in the heart of Asakusa within a 3-minute walk of Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station, steps from Senso-ji Temple, Hoppy Street, and the Nakamise shopping area. Room sizes are compact but functional — typical for well-run Japanese business hotels — and both properties are popular with international travelers for their location, breakfast, and reliable service.

This guide explains the differences between the two buildings, how the meet-up process works at each (the Premier’s lobby is on the 5th floor above a Uniqlo), what to message to avoid confusion, and how to pay safely — whether you’re winding down after a day exploring temples or recovering from jet lag.

Hotel snapshot

Richmond Hotel Asakusa

Address: 2-7-10 Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo 111-0032, Japan

Area: Asakusa (near Hoppy Street, Senso-ji)

217 rooms. Compact but well-equipped rooms with wide desks and 40-inch TVs. Lobby is on the ground floor — standard layout, straightforward for meet-ups.

Access: 3-minute walk from Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station (Exit A1). ~8 min walk from Tokyo Metro Ginza Line / Toei Asakusa Line Asakusa Station.

Richmond Hotel Premier Asakusa International

Address: 2-6-7 Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo 111-0032, Japan

Area: Asakusa (above Uniqlo, next to Don Quijote)

270 rooms. Opened 2015, newer than the original. Lobby is on the 5th floor (ground to 4th floor is retail/Uniqlo). Simmons mattresses, separate bath/toilet in some room types. Skytree and Senso-ji views from higher floors.

Access: 2-minute walk from Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station. ~8 min walk from Metro/Toei Asakusa Station.

Outcall difficulty level (both properties)

Smooth. Both Richmond Hotels are business hotels with relaxed visitor policies. The standard approach — meet at the lobby and escort the therapist to your room — works without friction at either property.

The Premier has its lobby on 5F, so your therapist enters the building at ground level and takes the elevator up to the 5th-floor reception. At the original Richmond, the lobby is at ground level — simpler layout.

Why international visitors choose Richmond Hotel Asakusa

1) Prime Asakusa location, two properties

Both hotels sit in the heart of Asakusa, within walking distance of Senso-ji Temple, Hoppy Street, Kaminarimon Gate, and multiple subway lines. The original is closer to Hoppy Street; the Premier is right above Uniqlo with Don Quijote next door. For outcall massage dispatch, Asakusa’s Ginza Line access keeps therapist arrival times short.

2) Reliable mid-range value

Richmond Hotels consistently deliver clean rooms, friendly staff, and practical amenities (coin laundry, microwave, 24-hour front desk) at rates well below luxury hotels. Both properties are Travelers’ Choice-rated and popular with repeat international visitors. The breakfast buffet at both properties is highly rated.

3) Multilingual staff and practical service

Both properties employ staff who speak English, and the Premier also has Chinese and Korean speakers. For international guests booking an outcall massage, having staff who can assist with visitor logistics — even if you don’t need to explain the massage — reduces friction.

4) No in-house spa — outcall is your option

Neither Richmond property has an in-house spa or massage service. If you want a massage during your stay, an external outcall service is the way to go. Both properties are accustomed to guests receiving visitors, making the process straightforward.

Tourist tips: getting to Richmond Hotel Asakusa & nearby highlights

Airport to hotel (realistic times)

  • From Narita: about 70–100 min (Keisei Access Express to Asakusa, or Skyliner to Ueno + Ginza Line).
  • From Haneda: about 50–70 min (Keikyu/Toei Asakusa Line direct to Asakusa Station).

The Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station is the closest to both properties. From JR Ueno Station, it’s a quick Tsukuba Express ride (2 stops, ~4 min).

Nearby highlights

  • Senso-ji Temple / Kaminarimon: ~5 min walk from both properties.
  • Hoppy Street: izakaya and street food, literally next to the original Richmond.
  • Don Quijote / Uniqlo: right below the Premier building.
  • Kappabashi Kitchen Street: ~10 min walk (famous for kitchenware).
  • Tokyo Skytree: visible from Premier rooms, ~20 min walk.

Taxi line for your phone: Original: “2-7-10 Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo (Richmond Hotel Asakusa)” / Premier: “2-6-7 Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo (Richmond Hotel Premier Asakusa International)”. The two properties are different buildings — confirm which one you’re staying at.

Can you book outcall massage at Richmond Hotel Asakusa?

Yes — in-room massage delivery works smoothly at both Richmond properties. These are business hotels with relaxed visitor handling. The standard approach: meet at the lobby and escort your therapist to your room.

Neither property has an in-house spa. If you want a massage, an external outcall service is your option — and it delivers the session directly to your room on your schedule, including late night.

Where to meet your massage therapist

Richmond Hotel Asakusa (Original)

Lobby is on the ground floor. Standard layout — your therapist enters the building and you meet them at the front desk area. Simple and fast. Escort them to your room via the elevator.

Richmond Hotel Premier Asakusa International

Lobby is on the 5th floor (ground to 4th floor is a shopping area with Uniqlo). Your therapist enters at street level and takes the elevator up to 5F reception. Meet them there, then ride together to your room floor. Guest floors are 5F and above.

Mention “lobby on 5F, above Uniqlo” when booking so the therapist doesn’t get confused at the ground-floor entrance.

Important: The two Richmond Hotels are different buildings at different addresses. Make sure your booking message specifies which property you’re staying at (Richmond Hotel Asakusa or Richmond Hotel Premier Asakusa International). A therapist sent to the wrong building will need to relocate, adding delay.

Room size reality check

Richmond Hotel Asakusa (Original)

Rooms are compact — typical for Japanese business hotels, estimated at 17–19 m² for standard singles/doubles. Shiatsu on the bed is the most practical massage option. Oil massage (requiring floor space for a mat) will be tight but possible if you move the desk chair out of the way. Don’t expect luxury-level space.

Richmond Hotel Premier Asakusa International

Room sizes vary by category. Standard rooms are slightly more spacious than the original property, and some room types (Premier Triple, Corner rooms) offer meaningful extra space. View rooms and Premier View rooms have separate bath and toilet areas, which can give a sense of more open floor space. For oil massage, a Corner or Triple room provides the best working area.

At both properties, a couples massage with two therapists simultaneously would be very tight in standard rooms. If this is important, consider the Premier’s larger room categories.

Choosing a massage therapist: what to know before you book

Many guests — especially male guests — care about a therapist’s age and appearance. That’s normal. The mistake is trusting services that show full-face “model-like” photos as if they are guaranteed.

Be careful with services that display clear full-face portraits. Those photos are often heavily edited, or sometimes not even the real therapist.

Most reliable outcall massage services in Tokyo avoid full-face photos for privacy and safety. If you feel uneasy about “no full face,” flip your logic: that restraint is often a trust signal.

Practical tip: Describe what you want with words (friendly, calm, strong pressure, athletic) instead of demanding a specific face photo.

Booking message template (copy & paste)

Send this to your massage service (English):

Hi, I’m staying at [Richmond Hotel Asakusa / Richmond Hotel Premier Asakusa International] (Asakusa area). • Building: (Richmond Asakusa at 2-7-10 / Premier at 2-6-7 above Uniqlo, lobby on 5F) • Start time: (e.g., 9:00–10:00 pm window) • Duration: (e.g., 90 minutes) • Massage type: (shiatsu / oil / deep tissue) • Pressure: (light / medium / strong) • Meet-up: I will meet you at the lobby and escort you to my room. • Payment: (cash / card / online) Please confirm total price (including any late-night surcharge) and estimated arrival time.

Critical: specify which Richmond property (original vs. Premier). The two buildings are at different addresses. If you’re at the Premier, mention “lobby on 5F, above Uniqlo.”

Paying safely for your hotel room massage

Good signs: clear total price confirmed before dispatch (including any late-night surcharge), normal payment processor (Stripe, PayPal, or cash), and a professional booking flow where you know the final amount before the therapist arrives.

Red flags: vague pricing, pressure to pay upfront without confirmation, surprise add-ons, or “too-good-to-be-true” rates.

As a general reference, a 60-minute in-room massage in Tokyo typically costs ¥15,000–¥25,000, and a 90-minute session ¥20,000–¥35,000. Late-night surcharges (¥1,000–¥2,000) may apply. Always confirm the total before dispatch.

Most reputable services accept cash (Japanese yen), credit card, or online payment.

Frequently asked questions about outcall massage at Richmond Hotel Asakusa

Which Richmond property is better for an in-room massage?

The Premier generally offers slightly larger rooms and newer facilities. If room size matters for your massage (especially oil massage requiring floor space), the Premier’s Corner or View rooms are the better choice. The original Richmond has a simpler ground-floor lobby, which makes the meet-up process marginally easier.

Can the therapist go straight to my room without meeting at the lobby?

Don’t count on it. Both properties use keycard-controlled elevators. The reliable path is always the same: meet at the lobby and escort them to your room.

Can I book a late-night massage? (after midnight)

Yes. Both properties have 24-hour front desks. Many outcall services accept bookings until 3:00–5:00 AM. A late-night surcharge typically applies (¥1,000–¥2,000).

Why is the Premier’s lobby on the 5th floor?

The building’s ground to 4th floors are occupied by retail tenants (Uniqlo and other shops). The hotel occupies the 5th floor and above. This is common in mixed-use buildings in Tokyo. Your therapist enters at street level and takes the elevator to 5F.

Shiatsu or oil massage — which works better in compact Richmond rooms?

Shiatsu is the safer bet: done through clothing on the bed, zero floor space needed. Oil massage requires a mat and clear floor area — workable but tight in standard rooms. If you strongly prefer oil, move the desk chair and clear the area beside the bed before the therapist arrives.

How much does an outcall massage cost in Tokyo?

60 minutes: ¥15,000–¥25,000. 90 minutes: ¥20,000–¥35,000. Late-night bookings usually add ¥1,000–¥2,000. Always confirm the total before dispatch.

How far in advance should I book?

Same-day booking is standard. Most services dispatch within 60–90 minutes. Asakusa is accessible by the Ginza Line, so therapist travel time is reasonable.

Is Asakusa a convenient location for outcall dispatch?

Yes. The area is well-connected via Ginza Line, Toei Asakusa Line, Tobu Line, and Tsukuba Express. Dispatch times from central Tokyo are reasonable.

Can I book a massage right after checking in?

Yes. Message an outcall service from the airport or taxi if you know your check-in time. A therapist can arrive within 60–90 minutes after you’ve settled in.

What types of massage can I get delivered to my room?

Most services offer shiatsu (Japanese acupressure on the bed), oil massage (Swedish-style with mat/towels), and deep tissue massage. Some also offer Thai massage, sports massage, or lymphatic drainage. Describe your needs and the service will recommend the best fit.

The Premier has a renovation planned. Will it affect my stay?

Richmond Hotel Premier Asakusa International has announced partial renovation from July to September 2026, with a full closure from October 1 to November 8, 2026. If you’re booking during this period, check the hotel’s official website for current status. Noise and vibration are possible during partial renovation months.

Do I need to tell the hotel staff it’s a massage?

No. You’re meeting a guest at the lobby and escorting them to your room. Normal behaviour for a registered guest.
