Overview

After having the Asakusa history tour, enjoy a 2-minute train ride crossing the Sumida river to the Tokyo Skytree Station right at the foot of the Skytree. This convenient railway system connects the historical neighborhood of Asakusa with the Tokyo Skytree area - two major and popular sightseeing spots in the city. Right after arriving at the Skytree, we will climb to both observation decks: first to the lower one with the height of 350m and then to the higher one with the height of 450m. There are lots of fun things to experience there. 1) Your guide will help you locate major landmarks. 2) Stand on the glass floor which gives visitors a direct downward view of the streets below. 3) Have your memorial photo taken; you have an option to buy the photo with a download link. 4) Buy and send a pictured postcard from the SKYTREE to any place on the globe. After getting down to the lower floor from the observation decks, you can stroll in the mega shopping complex to find souvenirs.

Itinerary

  • Sumida Park

    This bridge has been one of the most important and popular rivers in Tokyo. Actually, the story of Sensoji temple originated in this river 1400 years ago.

    20 minutes

  • Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center

    Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center is one of Asakusa’s newest sightseeing attractions. We will go to the open terrace Observation Deck on the top floor of the Center, where you can get a good view of the main part of Kaminarimon, the Thunder Gate, Nakamise shopping street, Sensoji Temple, and much more on one side, and on the other side, another splendid view of Tokyo Skytree and the Asahi Beer Headquarters.

    20 minutes

  • Kaminarimon

    Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate) is the entrance to the world of Buddhist temple and Shinto shrine. The world's well-known giant red lantern is hanging under the gate.

    15 minutes

  • Nakamise Shopping Street (Kaminarimon)

    This street leads to Sensoji temple. You may be surprised by its friendly and welcoming atmosphere walking on it if you had imagined solemn and stately religious facilities. The street features not just shops but "history tablets," which recounts Asakusa's history with beautiful pictures.

    40 minutes

  • Hozomon

    Hozomon ("Treasure-House Gate") is the inner of two large entrance gates that ultimately leads to the Sensoji (the outer being the Kaminarimon). A two-story gate, the Hozomon's second story houses many of the Sensoji's treasures. The first story houses two statues, three lanterns and two large sandals.

    15 minutes

  • Senso-ji Temple

    It is Tokyo's oldest temple, and one of its most significant. Adjacent to the temple is a five-story pagoda, which holds Buddha's ashes given by Sri Lanka government and Buddhist society for goodwill between Sri Lanka and Japan in its top floor. You can participate in centuries-old rituals at the Temple and the Asakusa Shrine and see what the fates have in store for you with Sensoji’s infamous paper fortunes.

    15 minutes

  • Asakusa Shrine

    This is a shrine of Shinto, Japan's indigenous religion sitting just next to Senshoji temple. Coexistence of two distinct religions in the same premises may be unfathomable. The guide will unlock the mystery from a historical standpoint.

    15 minutes

  • Tokyo Skytree

    The Tokyo Skytree area is the other popular tourist spot linked with Asakusa by the Sumida River Walk. It boasts not only the tallest structure in Japan with observation decks but also huge complex of dining facilities and shops.
