About this routeGetting to Asakusa
Asakusa keeps the old "shitamachi" feel of Tokyo, with Senso-ji's Kaminarimon Gate, Nakamise-dori and the Sumida River all within walking distance and Tokyo Skytree close by. Many of the area's smaller hotels and inns sit in narrow side streets, so a car to the door is the easiest way to arrive with luggage.
If your flight options allow, Haneda Airport to Asakusa is ¥15,000 (Alphard) — ¥7,000 less.
