"Asakusa Kagekijo" is the theater where "Asakusa Hanayashiki" with history of the 165th anniversary of the opening of the park sends various entertainment such as a concert, the martial art by a work and the much-talked-about artist that fused of the culture to at the Japanese traditional culture and present. I learn for a history of "Asakusa" that is the entertainment birthplace and perform traditional succession and upbringing, creation and alternating current of the new sense of values through entertainment. "The Asakusa flower theater" is a total of 1,362 square meters in area, 4 stories.

ASAKURA Museum of Sculpture was once a studio and residence of ASAKURA Fumio (1883-1964), a leading sculptor of modern Japan. The building is now open to the public as a museum exhibiting the collection of ASAKURA's sculptures. Visitors can enjoy viewing the world of ASAKURA and four distinct seasons of Japan.

A Japanese friend introduced us to this amazing museum. Before our visit, we had not heard of the Japanese sculptor Asakura. So our visit was very enjoyable and enlighting. The museum is situated in a small street in a traditional Japanese home, where Asakura once lived. The house is filled with an array of amazing sculptures and art, as well as a pond and a rooftop garden. And it seems that the artist loved cats! The staff had limited English but were kind and helpful. And it was a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon in Tokyo. Highly recommended if you enjoy and have an interest in art and history.

Located at the top of Ueno Park this is a very large museum and is worth a visit to get a real appreciation of Japanese history and culture. My time was limited so only got to see a portion of worth I wanted to see but would definitely return if back in Tokyo.

We had three hours to spend and were looking for something to keep our 8 year old occupied. When we asked what she was looking for, she said, “something with fossils, dinosaurs, early humans.” Hmmmm...check, check, and check. There was something for all of us to enjoy. Some exhibits were only in Japanese but many had English translations or were self explanatory. Kids had free admission. Worth a stop!

One of the few western arts museums in the world which features a great collection of paintings by masters such as Renoir, Manet, Monet, Gaugin and more than a dozen sculptures by Rodin, and offers free admission to the public (on Saturdays). Seniors over 65 can enter free on all days. The Museum itself was the work of Le Corbusier and part of the UNESCO world heritage sites collectively designated under his name. Highly recommended. The annotations are in multiple languages including English. Allow 2 hours at least for a visit.

A wide range of things to discover, and it could take you the whole day wondering in every corner of the museam. Also, the landscape around the museum is so wonderful, you can take hundreds of beautiful photo. Better go there in Autumn.

You find Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center right across from Nakamise Shopping Street and Sensoji Temple. It has a free observation deck, where you can get a good view of the neighbourhood, including the Asahi Beer Tower, Sumida River and of course the Shooping Street and Temple Grounds.

Had a great time shopping here on a drizzly grey day in June 2019. My partner is crazy about gaming so was amusing himself shopping in Akiba, but after a day of following him around I needed a break. Luckily for me, I found Aki-Oka. It's a fantastic spot on a rainy day as it's all under cover, there are some benches and free wifi, and you can get coffee and a light bite from the cafe. It's also super easy to get to - just walk alongside the Yamanote line from Akiba station. And lastly, the best bit is the shopping. I bought a beautiful ceramic brooch from a pottery studio, a wooden-faced stainless steel watch from the woodware store, and could happily have spent much, much more. Nothing is cheap because it's all beautifully hand-crafted, but for what it is, it's well-priced. And it's always nice to have pleasant memories to go with a treasured item.
