This tourist center designed by Kengo Kuma is not just a valuable source of sightseeing information, but one of Asakusa’s newest sightseeing attractions. This 8-story building, designed by a world famous Japanese architect, has a very striking structure with the appearance of a stack of separate wooden buildings that seem piled up on top of each other at different angles. From the open terrace Observation Deck on the 8th floor of the Center, we will have a preview of the entire tour course: not just Tokyo Sky Tree and Asahi Flame we have just seen but the landmarks we are going to see including Kaminarimon gate, Nakamise shopping street, Hozomon gate, Sensoji Temple, and more.

When approaching Sensoji temple, visitors first enter through the Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate), the outer gate of Sensoji Temple and the symbol of Asakusa and the entire city of Tokyo. A shopping street of over 200 meters, called Nakamise, leads from the outer gate to the temple's second gate, the Hozomon. Alongside typical Japanese souvenirs such as yukata and folding fans, various traditional local snacks from the Asakusa area are sold along the Nakamise. The shopping street has a history of several centuries.

Sensoji (浅草寺, Sensōji, également connu sous le nom de temple Asakusa Kannon) est un temple bouddhiste situé à Asakusa. C'est l'un des temples les plus colorés et les plus populaires de Tokyo. La légende raconte qu'en 628, deux frères repêchèrent une statue de Kannon, la déesse de la miséricorde, dans la rivière Sumida. Même après l'avoir remise à l'eau, elle leur revenait toujours. C'est ainsi que Sensoji fut construit à proximité pour la déesse Kannon. Achevé en 645, le temple est le plus ancien de Tokyo.

Sumida Park is located near Asakusa station and along the Sumida River where you can see amazing views such as Tokyo Skytree. Especially you can see beautiful scenery at the season of cherry blossoms. The park is open space and it is very fun to walk around. It has landing places for popular waterbuses that tour the Sumida River and Tokyo Bay. The park is a part of Sumida River Terrace that is a promenade built along the Sumida River.

Le carrefour de Shibuya, près de la gare de Shibuya, est traversé par jusqu'à 500 000 personnes par jour, et aux heures de pointe, jusqu'à 3 000 personnes traversent au même feu vert ! Pour les Japonais habitués à ce spectacle, rien d'étonnant, mais les touristes semblent s'émerveiller que tout le monde parvienne à traverser sans se bousculer. Il y a toujours des gens qui se rendent sur place juste pour admirer ce passage. Avec Times Square à New York, le carrefour de Shibuya est l'un des « passages les plus célèbres au monde ».

Its location between two of Tokyo’s biggest shopping districts, Harajuku and Shibuya, makes it an ideal catwalk for fabulous 20- and 30-something trendsetters. The half-mile long street is lined with stores ranging from vintage shops and local designer clothing to upscale boutiques and high-end international brands.

Le sanctuaire Meiji (明治神宮, Meiji Jingū) est un sanctuaire dédié aux esprits divinisés de l'empereur Meiji et de son épouse, l'impératrice Shoken. Situé juste à côté de la gare animée de Harajuku sur la ligne JR Yamanote, le sanctuaire Meiji et le parc Yoyogi adjacent forment une vaste zone boisée au cœur de la ville densément peuplée. Le vaste parc du sanctuaire offre des sentiers de promenade propices à une promenade relaxante.

Omotesando is a sloping tree-lined boulevard in Tokyo's fashionable Aoyama district that goes through parts of both Shibuya and Minato wards. The Harajuku area, which Omotesando is often considered a part of, has its own distinctive brand of youth fashion. On the other hand, Omotesando itself caters to the haute couture end of the spectrum, with plenty of places to sit back and relax over good food and drink, and take in the cutting edge architecture that typifies many of the establishments here.
