Asakusa【浅草】

This temple is also well known to tourists from overseas as the oldest temple in Tokyo. You can see the symbol of Asakusa, a big, deep red lantern which hangs on Kaminari mon(thunder gate). And, not to be missed is Nakamise where there are shops lining a passageway which makes us thrilled and nostalgic. Approaching, Kaminari mon, you can see Tokyo skytree which is touching the sky in Tokyo right into the distance.
