Asakusa: The Town where Old Meets New - Tokyo Analysis

The third instalment of Tokyo Analysis features Asakusa, a town embraced by a rich history. This town lies 'Senso-ji', the oldest temple in Tokyo; 'Nakamise-dori', the oldest shopping street; the 'Ginza Line', the oldest subway; and 'Hanayashiki', the oldest amusement park in Japan. At the same time, it is adorned with modern elements, such as the Skytree, the world's second tallest structure, and the futuristic-designed Sumida River water buses. But how was this charming city, where history and the present beautifully merge, formed? This time, we will focus on Asakusa's origins, tragedies and recovery, contemporary appeal, and the future. This is the story of Asakusa, the good old town in Tokyo.
