The Asakusa district represents the old Tokyo. The main attraction of Asakusa is Sensō-ji, a Buddhist temple that is Tokyo’s oldest temple and one of the biggest. Many tourists visit Sensō-ji and enjoy the surrounding area which has many traditional shops and restaurants (noodles, sushi, tempura, etc.). Walking around Sensō-ji gives a feeling of traveling into the past. Asakusa is one of my favourite area of Tokyo; I love taking my friends there, shopping for presents and eating a traditional meal. The area can also be visited by rickshaw, which adds to the “Old Tokyo” feel about the place.
