Located in the North East of Tokyo is Asakusa - an area that has been a bustling town since the Edo period. Despite being pretty much flattened in the huge earthquake of 1923 and then again in the 1945 bombings, Asakusa went through a speedy recovery.
Today, Asakusa is a popular tourist spot with Sensoji temple and the many buildings in the area which are reminiscent from the Edo Period.
