For many centuries, Asakusa used to be Tokyo’s
Leading entertainment district. During the Edo
Period (1603-1867), when the district was still
Located outside the city limits, Asakusa was the
site of kabuki theaters and a large red-light district.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, modern types of
entertainment, including movie theaters, set foot in
Asakusa.
However, large parts of Asakusa were destroyed in
the air raids of World War Two. And while the area around the rebuilt Sensoji has regained its former popularity after the war, the same cannot be said for Asakusa’s entertainment district.
The opening of the 634 meters tall Tokyo Skytree, a twenty-minute walk across the Sumida River from Asakusa, has led to an increase of tourists recently.

Azumabashi Bridge
Originally named Ogawa- Bashi in 1774 for stretching across the large Sumida river, it was renamed Azuma- Bashi following its reconstruction in
1876. The bridge was rebuilt several times after this, and following the Great
Kanto Earthquake, in 1931 the bridge was finally reconstructed into the shape we see now.
