Overview
Asakusa is Tokyo's oldest entertainment district, centered on Sensoji Temple and the Kaminarimon thunder gate. Nakamise-dori's souvenir stalls lead to the temple through a corridor of traditional snacks and crafts. The Sumida River promenade connects to Tokyo Skytree views, and side streets hide artisan workshops for indigo dyeing and Edo-style crafts.
