Asakusa is a subway station in Tokyo and the starting point for visiting Sensoji and the traditional streets. Exit 4 opens onto views of the Sumida River, the Asahi Beer Building, and Tokyo Skytree, and leads toward the Azumabashi photo spot. As Japan's first subway station, it keeps the original brick walls on its platforms, and Tokyo Metro tickets can be purchased at the station. The area is crowded and the streets are dense, so movement gets complicated without a planned route.
