Asakusa district is famous for its old temple. It is also a hang out area for the backpackers. A must-visit place in Tokyo for every tourist. At the temple area, it is like walking in Jonker's Street area except with much crowd. The most photographed site is undoubtedly the main gate - Kaminarimon, with its giant lantern hanging. Wait, not sure if it is a lantern. But it does look like a lantern, doesn't it? Inside the complex, you will find all sorts of souvenir shops and local delicacies. Further down the street are the theaters. While I was there, we (friends and I) bumped into few Malaysians. See, that's why it's a hot spot.
