Asakusa
Old Tokyo, still standing — rickshaws, a 1,400-year-old temple, and lantern-lined streets selling the same crafts and snacks they have for generations.
About Asakusa
A Window Into Old Edo
Enter through the giant red lantern of Kaminarimon gate, browse the centuries-old Nakamise shopping street, and arrive at Sensō-ji, Tokyo’s oldest temple. Asakusa is where the city keeps its memory — traditional, unhurried, and postcard-perfect against the Skytree rising behind it.
