ASAKUSA
TOKYO SKYTREE

Asakusa is a Tokyo's district, where remains atmosphere of past decades survives. Asakusa's main attraction is Sensoji, a very popular Buddhist temple, built in the 7th century. The temple is approached via a shopping street that has been providing temple visitors with a variety of traditional, local snacks and tourist souvenirs for centuries.

Asakusa can easily be explored on foot. Alternatively, you can consider a guided tour on a 'man powered vehicle' which costs around ¥9000 on a 30 minute tour for two persons.

​

The Tokyo Skytree is a television broadcasting tower and landmark of Tokyo where is 20 minute walk across the Sumida River from Asakusa.

The highlight of the Tokyo Skytree is its two observation decks, which offer spectacular views out over Tokyo. The two enclosed decks are located at heights of 350 and 450 meters respectively, making them the highest observation decks in Japan and some of the highest in the world.
