Asakusa Vacation Guide

Asakusa (浅草) is a town in Taito Ward of Tokyo. It was the only down town area before the World War II, way before Shinjuku and Shibuya were put onto the map. Today, this area is still affectionately called "Shitamachi", which literally means "downtown". Asakusa's landmark, Senso-ji Temple is the center of the town and the popular destination for tourists and locals alike.

Streets of Asakusa are dotted with old cafes, bookstores, theatres, and shopping districts... walking around Asakusa gives you some idea about what Tokyo used to be like before skyscrapers and neon of Shinjuku took over the city.
