Somewhere Street S2019E08 - Asakusa, Japan

Asakusa, an area of Tokyo with a long history, is still brimming with tradition. It's a popular tourist spot with Tokyo's oldest Buddhist temple, Sensoji, drawing over 30 million visitors a year. And just across the river is the TOKYO SKYTREE, recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the tallest tower in the world. There are so many different facets of Asakusa to explore. And it is one of the few neighborhoods, where you still may spot a geisha while you enjoy the sights. Asakusa cherishes its history and culture as well as welcoming innovation. It's a city with a wonderfully warm heart!
