Kaminari-mon, the "Thunder Gate" and central landmark of Asakusa.
In Asakusa, you can really sense the good old age of traditional Tokyo. Asakusa is highly popular as a place where one can experience authentic Tokyo.
If you're visiting Nakamise Street, I recommend the kibidango shop right on the left as you enter. The small dango are delicious, and the chilled matcha is just slightly sweet—so good! There's also a shop selling 'age-manju' (fried buns) along the way. There are a few of these shops on Nakamise, but the freshly fried, chewy manju are fantastic. The photo shows a unique plum-flavored age-manju, but they also have sesame and matcha flavors. Both the look and the taste are fun, so I definitely recommend trying them.
