Having "Senso-ji" temple as its central figure, Asakusa is
a temple town and as such has prospered for centuries. Even
now, it still has the feelings of Old Edo. Asakusa is a very
popular place for tourists to find and feel Japanese traditional
culture. Throughout the year, there are lots of events such
as the Sanja-matsuri festival in the middle of May, the Sumidagawa
fireworks festival in July and Shirasagi-no-mai (the White
Crane Dance) in November.

"Senso-ji" temple and "Nakamise"
A short distance from the station, you can see the magnificent
"Kaminarimon" gate on the right side of the Kaminarimon-dori street.
There is one step at the gate, but if you detour around the side
of the gate, there is no step. After going through the gate, you
will be on "Nakamise-dori" street, and find various shops with
all kinds of Japanese traditional souvenirs such as Sensu (fans).
"Nakamise-dori" is flat and stone-paved, so, it will be easy going.
It leads you to "Senso-ji" temple. The temple grounds are stone-paved
with some graveled walkways, but is isn't a problem for wheelchair
users. However, in order to get into the main hall of the temple,
there are steps.
-
"Kappabashi"
From Asakusa Station, passing in front of "Kaminarimon" gate,
go straight along the road, you will reach the "Kappabashi" shopping
area. There are many shops which deal in cooking utensils and
kitchen items along both sides of the road for about 800 meters.
The road in this area is flat, wide and paved. Although the road
in the area is wide and flat, it can become narrow because of
many obstacles such as sales items displayed in front of shops,
and parked bicycles. Also, many small shops have narrow entrances
and small aisles inside.
