"Asakusa was one of my favourite parts of Tokyo and we visited it during the Sanja Matsuri festival which is considered as one of the wildest and largest festivals in Tokyo. It was pretty crazy, a lot of men were walking around with just underwear and showing off their tattoos, which usually are not socially accepted but they are in this festival. If you go in May, I think it is worth making sure you visit during those dates. "
