• Kaminarimon Gate - The Kaminarimon Gate in Asakusa is a renowned landmark in Tokyo, serving as the majestic entrance to Senso-ji Temple, the city’s oldest and most important Buddhist temple. Officially named Fūraijinmon, it is named after the Shinto deities of wind (Fūjin) and thunder (Raijin), whose impressive statues stand guard at the gate.

The gate’s enormous red lantern is a well-known symbol of Asakusa, weighing over 700 kg. A detail often missed is the dragon carving beneath the lantern, a hidden feature symbolizing protection and good fortune.

Kaminarimon beautifully combines history, spirituality, and the vibrant energy of modern Tokyo, making it an essential stop on any Asakusa walking tour.

• Nakamise Shopping Street (Kaminarimon) - Beyond the gate, visitors enter Nakamise-dori, a bustling shopping street that has catered to pilgrims and tourists for centuries, offering traditional snacks, souvenirs, and local crafts.
• Senso-ji Temple - Established in 628 AD, Senso-ji Temple is Tokyo’s oldest and most iconic Buddhist temple. Dedicated to Kannon, the goddess of mercy, it attracts millions of worshippers each year. According to legend, two fishermen found a Kannon statue in the Sumida River, inspiring the temple’s creation. Notable features include the Main Hall, which houses a replica of the hidden statue, and the Five-Story Pagoda, representing Buddhist elements. The lively Nakamise-dori leads to the temple, offering traditional snacks and crafts, making Senso-ji a vibrant blend of history, spirituality, and culture.
• Hoppy Street - Situated near Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, Hoppy Street is a lively lane known for its traditional izakayas (Japanese pubs) and its signature drink, Hoppy. Hoppy is a low-alcohol, beer-flavored beverage that became popular in the post-war era when beer was costly. It is often mixed with shochu, creating a nostalgic, refreshing drink.

Hoppy Street is ideal for those wanting to experience traditional Tokyo nightlife, with locals enjoying drinks and casual food like yakitori and grilled seafood in a friendly, relaxed setting. The street’s retro atmosphere captures the charm of Tokyo’s Showa era.

• Rokku Broadway - Rokku in Asakusa was once the center of Tokyo’s entertainment district during the Taisho and early Showa eras. Known as the Rokku District, it was famous for its theaters, cinemas, and variety halls. The area offered everything from kabuki performances to early Western films, attracting both locals and tourists. The name “Rokku” comes from the Japanese word for “six,” as it was the sixth ward of Asakusa.

Although much of its original glamour has faded, Rokku still retains some of its old charm, with remnants of theaters and a nostalgic atmosphere. It’s a wonderful place for visitors to imagine Tokyo’s vibrant entertainment past while exploring modern Asakusa.

• Kan’non-dōri - Kannon-dori, also known as Kannon Street, is a lively shopping and dining street that connects visitors from the bustling Asakusa Station to Senso-ji Temple. Named after Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, the street is lined with shops offering traditional Japanese crafts, clothing, and souvenirs, along with casual eateries. Kannon-dori offers a mix of the old and new, where modern stores blend with long-established businesses that have been around for generations.
• Azuma Bridge - Azuma Bridge is a historic bridge that spans the Sumida River, connecting Asakusa with the Mukojima district. Built in 1931, it offers stunning views of both the Tokyo Skytree and the surrounding areas. The bridge is known for its bright red color, symbolizing vitality, and it’s a favorite spot for tourists to capture scenic photos of Asakusa’s riverside.

Historically, Azuma Bridge was vital for trade and transportation in Edo-era Tokyo. Today, it’s an important landmark, linking the traditional atmosphere of Asakusa with the modern developments across the river. It’s also a great starting point for Sumida River cruises, offering a unique perspective of Tokyo’s skyline.
