Hey guys!! So with just a few days left in the area, I wanted to put together this video for you as a full tour of the area of Asakusa!
Both for those of you who are coming to Japan, and those of you who cant!
Likes and shares are appreciated, but I'm honestly just happy that you're here watching!! Let me know what your favorite spot was!!

[sharlainjapan]

Loved this! No matter how many times I've been to Asakusa there's always something left to discover. Need to make another trip there soon!!

[Kaelthorz]

Im actually in Tokyo at the moment, and on my second day(yesterday) i walked along the sumida river, its amazing indeed :)

[nerdnicole]

So much info. Definitely helps me plan my trip.

[Codelinkz_]

Hey! I definitely want to explore Asakusa when I go to Japan after everything you've showed in all your videos :D

[ばかーんいやーん]

Thank you for your deep asakusa tour❗️
I was born in asakusa(grew up and living in another place), and often walk around asakusa, some of spot is unknown for me😊
I will go next week to see sakura around Sumida river✌️

I'll be honest and say I never would have thought to go to Asakusa while in Tokyo. But watching this makes me just as excited to spend at least a few days there as I am for Akihabara or Shibuya! I'd love to see a part 2!!!

I was in Asakusa for 8 days October of last year with my son we stayed at the Asakusa View Hotel and we had such a good time. I really enjoyed Tokyo can't wait to go back. ❤ Tokyo

The melon pane with ice-cream from that place is just wow!

[TheEphemeris]

I went to Ninja Bar last week when staying in Asakusa. Incredible fun having cup sake in a blade runner-esque area of the underground. The ninja brings so much fun energy. It was a fairly quiet area after sundown, but make your own fun and it livens up!

I walked around Asakusa in autumn 2019 and never noticed the tumbler shop! Damn, they are so pretty and unique.

On my first visit to japan, i stumbled across the denpoin dori as we rushed to the tower knives shop and back (we were in a hurry haha). I made photos when i went through, cause I immediately realised how beautiful the street was!

I just went to Asakusa last year summer for 3 days, I live near almost exact area you introduce, but I never get to explore them. Those stores are so.. vivid in your video! I go to 新宿or 銀座to watch the art exhibition and go back to hotel, and lost the hidden gem around me. I wish I could have found your channel eariler! Wish one day I'll be able to go back to Japan, and stay longer to explore more.

I love seriously love Asakusa. Whenever I go to Japan I make sure to stay in that area because it's just so much quieter and not as busy as the rest of Tokyo. Plus everything around Sensoji is amazing. One place I love to visit is Mokuhankan for their traditional woodblock prints.

[michaelcherry]

Hooray! The guide to Asakusa is here. I think i'd have to spend at least a week exploring Asakusa (who am I kidding--I'd spend a week just checking out side streets, restaurants and shops!)
Thank you so much for giving us the benefit of your years in Asukusa. It's obvious that you have a genuine love for the area and it's people.
I am constantly amazed at how a crowded, bustling city like Tokyo still has incredibly beautiful little areas of peace and repose. Truly western cities could learn from this.
Part 2? Yes, Please!!

[demonicjedi]

Next time I visit Tokyo I need to spend more time in the Asakusa area, didn't realize there was so many cool places there.

[TheHihatiha]

Funny to see it all again. I lived in the Asakusa area for 3 months many years ago. Would love to go back and visit

[dennismorada]

Many do advise against going here because of the crowd and it being just too “touristy”. But hey, I am a tourist, and there are many reasons why the place has become so. It still is worth all the trouble. What I do is I stay in a hotel or ryokan in the area, and I wake up early to enjoy most sights uncrowded yet. Even at night when most of the shops have closed, the place is still beautiful. As this video has shown, too. There’s just so much to explore in one walkable area. I enjoyed watching as it brought back many good memories, and since, we’re coming back 2 weeks from now, I have new places to see for ourselves. Thanks for the tips.

I love Asakusa! I always stay in that area when I’m in Tokyo. 😊

[Seiginotora]

I stayed in Asakusa in 2017 when I visited Japan the first time. I may end up moving to Asakusa if I can, when the time is right. I loved it there. So peaceful.
