Richmond Hotel Premier Asakusa International offers JamLabel Shampoo from Private Lab that you will get once you check-in at the front desk.
JamLabel is a three-in-one shampoo + bath + face wash that is doesn't include silicone or synthetic oils.
It's a non-complex product that is great for sensitive, allergic skin.

If you would prefer to use something else,
organic brand POLA in a small sample set is also available.
Hair ties, bath salts, and more are also available
so if you need anything just ask!

Normally getting membership cards while you travel isn't on your mind, however, we truly felt this one was worth it.
It's a free card that gives you discounts, add points, and more importantly,
lets you push back check-out time an hour (from 11am to noon)
free of charge (normally costs 1000yen a day)!
The discount is 10% and can be discounted to the next stay or breakfast
(1 point for 1 yen).
Richmond Hotels are universal,
so even if you don't live in Japan you can earn and redeem these benefits!

After you check-in,
along with your room card you'll get a "welcome drink" exchange voucher.
So go put your things down in your room and go back to the lobby area
for a drink and take a break!

⏰Drink ticket exchange time 1pm~10pm
＊Welcome drink includes 1 soft drink
Alcohol drinks are an added fee

🍻Behold the Golden Poo🍻

Asahi Super Dry Beer Hall - 10min walk

Often referred to as the "golden poo building" this Asahi Super Dry Hall.

The "golden poo" is actually a golden flame designed by a French designer

that is meant to represent the Asahi Beer company.

Some people say the black building below the flame is a beer cup...
but we don't see that.

The golden building next to it is the Asahi headquarters.

If you've been out drinking in Japan,

there's a high chance you drank Asahi.

Go inside and you'll see an Asahi beer history exhibition (1st floor)
and some restaurants and popular bars (22nd floor).

But what is really worth visiting if you like trying new and limited kinds of beer
is the Asahi Craftsmanship Brewery (2nd floor).
