- Brief description: Asakusa is one of the best representations of the old Tokyo. It has become one of the most visited places in the city due to its small streets and traditional buildings. Known for hosting some of the most popular points of the Japanese capital such as the Sensoji Buddhist temple, the Asahi building or the entrance gate (Kaminari). We recommend walking around the streets to be brought to the old Edo Period.
