I'm meticulously planning my trip with my family to Japan this summer. When I'm back I'll update this itinerary and share it with who wants it :)

Japan 10 days trip

Throughout my various trips to Japan, I've spent alot of time coming back to Asakusa and in the general Taito City. The area houses alot of beautiful, famous temples as well as old districts with curio shops and street food stalls.

Sometimes, depending on who I am with, I can explore alot what is highlighted in this guide in a day. But, if you want to spend more time then feel free to go through alot of the items highlighted here in multiple days or trips!

How about a trip to traditional Japan while staying in the heart of modern Tokyo? 

This is a non-exhaustive list of what you can do in Asakusa; probably one of the greatest places in Tokyo! It is drenched in culture, offers amazing food, and despite being very touristy, it has one of the nicest ambiences of any places we've ever visited.

We don't believe a map listing each place suffices. So, we have come up with a list of recommendations with explanations for everything.
