Representing a mixture of the traditional and modern side of Tokyo. Asakusa is home to Tokyo’s oldest temple “Sensoji” and the center of the downtown district of the city. As well as historical sights and nostalgic vibes, you can extend your day trip to the magnificent Tokyo Skytree easily. Here are the best things to do in Asakusa, Tokyo!
The Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー) is a television broadcasting tower and landmark of Tokyo. It is the centerpiece of the Tokyo Skytree Town in the Sumida City Ward, not far away from Asakusa. With a height of 634 meters (634 can be read as "Musashi", a historic name of the Tokyo Region), it is the tallest structure in Japan and the second tallest in the world at the time of its completion. A large shopping complex with aquarium is located at its base. The highlight of the Tokyo Skytree is its two observation decks which offer spectacular views out over Tokyo. The two enclosed decks are located at heights of 350 and 450 meters respectively, making them the highest observation decks in Japan and some of the highest in the world. For more information...
Standing 333 meters, Tokyo Tower is three meters taller than the Eiffel Tower. When completed in 1958 it symbolized the rebirth of Japan as a post war economic power. The tower has two observation decks, the main deck at 150 meters and the top deck at 250 meters. Both offer views as far away as the Tokyo Skytree and Mount Fuji on a clear day, and down over Zojoji Temple below. The touristy lower floors of the tower house souvenir shops and restaurants.
The tower's main deck at 150 meters is reached via
elevator or a 600-step staircase (both paid). Thanks
to the tower's central location, the observatory
offers an interesting view of the city despite being
only at a relatively moderate height. There are also
some "lookdown windows" in the floor to stand on, a
souvenir shop and a cafe where visitors can enjoy
refreshments.
A second set of elevators connect the main deck to
the 250 meter high top deck, from where you can get
a bird's eye view of Tokyo from
high above the surrounding buildings. It is the
third highest observation
deck in Tokyo (after the two decks at the Tokyo
Skytree). When visibility is good, visitors can
see the Tokyo Skytree and Mount
Fuji in the distance. For

The Fuji Subaru Line 5th
Station (富士スバルライン五合目, Fuji Subaru Line
Gogōme, also known as Yoshidaguchi 5th Station or
Kawaguchiko 5th Station) lies at approximately the
halfway point of the Yoshida Trail, which leads
from Fujiyoshida
Sengen Shrine at the mountain's base to the
summit of Mount
Fuji. It is the most popular of the four 5th
stations on Mount Fuji and the best developed and
easiest to access by public transportation from Tokyo.
The Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station is accessible
almost year round, snow conditions permitting, and
is a popular sightseeing spot even outside of the
climbing season.
The station is reached by the Subaru Line, a scenic
toll road up Mount
Fuji's lower northern slopes, that begins in
Kawaguchiko Town. The toll road costs 2100 yen and
may temporarily get partially closed in winter in
times of heavy snow. Furthermore, the road is closed
to private vehicles during the majority of the climbing season
(July 10 to September 10), during which shuttle
buses operate between designated parking lots at the
base of the mountain and the 5th station. For

Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海)
is a touristy set of eight ponds in Oshino, a
small village in the Fuji
Five Lake region, located between Lake
Kawaguchiko and Lake
Yamanakako on the site of a former sixth lake
that dried out several hundred years ago. The eight
ponds are fed by snow melt from the slopes of
nearby Mount
Fuji that filters down the mountain through
porous layers of lava for over 80 years, resulting
in very clear spring water that is revered by the
locals.
Next to one pond, visitors can drink the cool water
straight from the source. The ponds are quite deep
and have interesting freshwater plant life and large
fish that make a visit to the ponds almost like
visiting an aquarium. Although the ponds have been
developed into tourist attractions and can become
quite crowded with visitors, they have a pleasant
atmosphere as long as you do not expect untouched
nature. For

The Shiraito Falls (白糸の滝,
Shiraito no Taki) are located in the
southwestern foothills of Mount
Fuji. Ranked among the most beautiful waterfalls
in Japan, the 150 meter wide cascade is fed by the
volcano's spring water and flows off the edge of a
20 meter high cliff in thin white streams that
resemble hanging threads of silk - hence its name.
The base of the waterfall is easily accessible from
the road via a walking trail in just a few minutes.
Several souvenir shops line the trail that leads
down to the falls. Along the way, there are nice
views of Otodome Falls, another thundering, 25 meter
high column of water. The area is at its best in
summer when the waterfalls are flush with the winter
snow melt from Mount Fuji and the green foliage is
at its fullest, and during the autumn
season (usually from mid to late November) when
the leaves change. For
