Facing the Sumida River, Asakusa prospered as a center of faith, commerce, and entertainment.

Temples such as Senso-ji and Asakusa Shrine, along with riverside sanctuaries like Matsuchiyama Shoden and Ushijima Shrine, preserve the spirit of devotion and artistry that defined the Edo period. The area also nurtured a lively theater district and a community of skilled artisans, creating a culture where creativity and everyday life blended seamlessly.

Today, walking through Asakusa with us offers more than a glimpse into old Tokyo—it is an encounter with the origins of Tokyo’s history and the enduring cultural heritage that continues to flow beside the Sumida River.
