Visit Asakusa District:

Barrio Asakusa

  • Brief description: Asakusa is one of the best representations of the old Tokyo. It has become one of the most visited places in the city due to its small streets and traditional buildings. Known for hosting some of the most popular points of the Japanese capital such as the Sensoji Buddhist temple, the Asahi building or the entrance gate (Kaminari). We recommend walking around the streets to be brought to the old Edo Period. 
  • Duration of visit: 1 hr 30 min.
  • Cost: free.
  • Opening times: the district is always open although visiting times for the temple are from 6.00 to 17.00
  • How to get there: from Ueno metro station, take the Ginza line and get off at Asakusa. If you leave on the right, there is a door that opens onto the commercial zone (10 min. - 160¥).
