Asakusa is the part of Tokyo famous for the Sensoji temple. Many
tourists, both Japanese and from abroad, visit the Sensoji temple every
year. The area still has many traditional shops and eating places and the
road leading to the temple itself is lined with small shops selling touristy
things like small gifts and traditional sweets.
 Also nearby across the river is the distinctive Asahi building modeled
after a flame. Known to some Japanese colloquially as "unchi biru" due to
its shape. River cruises depart from a wharf immediately opposite the Asahi
building, on the Asakusa side.
