Asakusa has many historic and traditional shrines and temples in Tokyo (Kaminarimon, Sensoji, Asakusa Shrine, Denpo), and you can feel the history of Japan. Once you pass through Kaminarimon, you'll be greeted by the impressive Sensoji Temple. Walking along Nakamise-dori, you can enjoy traditional souvenirs and delicious Japanese sweets, and the whole town is wrapped in Japanese traditions.
Asakusa, the Sumida River and the area around Sensoji Temple are also covered with beautiful cherry blossoms in spring.
Souvenirs in Asakusa
The representative souvenir spot of “Asakusa” is “Nakamise,” one of Japan's oldest shopping districts. In addition to traditional Japanese souvenirs, there are many foods and sweets, so you can enjoy eating while walking around. “Kappabashi Shopping Street,” which sells MADE IN JAPAN cookware, is very popular with foreign customers.
Access to Asakusa
Approximately 35 minutes from Shinjuku Station: Transfer to the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line at Kanda Station on the JR Chuo Line and go to Asakusa Station.
Approximately 20 minutes from Tokyo Station: Transfer to the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line at Kanda Station on the JR Yamanote Line and go to Asakusa Station.
Asakusa is located in east Tokyo, in an area called downtown. Therefore, it is a bit far from central Tokyo such as Shibuya and Shinjuku, so access by subway is essential.
Enjoy Asakusa from the sky with a helicopter
Why don't you avoid the crowds in Asakusa and enjoy the view of Asakusa from above by helicopter?
Water buses are great, but only a helicopter can get you so close to the Sky Tree! You can circle around the observatory and enjoy the view of Asakusa from the sky. During the cherry blossom season, the view from the sky is exceptional. Enjoy the view of Asakusa in a relaxed atmosphere without worrying about the crowds.
