It has flourished as a commercial center since ancient times and was bustling with people during the Edo period. Even today, tourist spots like Sensoji Temple and Kaminarimon Gate attract many visitors. The streets of Asakusa blend the bustling atmosphere of the Edo period with the convenience of the modern era, preserving the traditional downtown culture.
