Hozomon

Reviewed By SteveS1970 - Coventry, United Kingdom

This is a fantastic looking gate on the way up to the Senso-ji temple. Huge lanterns adorn it and it is worth spending time looking at thethe guards which stand on either side protecting the temple.

Asakusa Demboin-dori

Reviewed By DellaG_12 - Coquitlam, Canada

This is an amazing shopping street with the shops and signage designed like a street scene from the old old Edo. I love the Japanese man size characters that are scattered on the roof tops of the stores. It is not far from the Asakusa temple compound. These shops sell traditional Japanese crafts and souvenirs. It also has a lot of snack shops and eateries. Very touristy but enjoyable area to re-hydrate oneself and people watch.

Asakusa Kaminarimondori Shopping Street

Reviewed By richiel747 - Richmond, Canada

The Asakusa Kaminarimondori street is a great shopping street leading from the main street from the train station to the Sensō-ji temple. It can get very crowed in the middle of the day but you can find a lot of souvenirs here. There are a lot of good food stalls here too.
