Asakusa is one of Japan's most iconic and popular spots for tourists from all over the country and abroad. There are a giant red lantern, the large and beautiful temples/shrines, and the traditional culture.
Asakusa has been developing since Sensoji Temple was built in the 7th century. The town grew to accommodate many worshippers, and the area around the temple is filled with restaurants and stores. After the Edo period, the area developed as a place to maintain Japanese culture.
Today, Asakusa remains the facilities, shops, and of course its culture. Our tour guide will introduce all the attractions of Asakusa!
