Tokyo's oldest temple and the entertainment district that grew around it.
Senso-ji has pulled crowds for fourteen centuries. We walk Nakamise shopping street, read the temple the way a worshipper would, and then follow the riverside into the old entertainment quarter that made Asakusa the Broadway of Tokyo.
