Asakusa Tokyo

From Subway Ginza Line, Asakusa station.
When you go up the stair above the ground, you can see this scenery.

Asahi Beer Headquarters which featuring two buildings. Gold colored tall building which resembling Beer jug with form on the roof. The Golden flame like object is known as Poo building but I guess its image is blown away form on the Beer jug.

The tower you can see left is Tokyo Skytree which is the second tallest structure in the world at height of 634 meters. You also can read 634 as Musashi that means the most famous Samurai warrior's name.

Thunder Gate

The street is lined with many sourvenir shops

If you consider to buy steamed cakes(Manju) which stuffed in the box, you should better to offer a store staff to try to eat sample food because its taste may starange to you. I mean steamed cake filled with very sweet bean jam which has a lot of sugar in it. I think it's hard to understand its taste for westerner.
