Asakusa is served by the Tobu line and also the Tokyo subway line (Ginza line). Since i stayed right in front of the Asakusa station, walking around was the best option. The Tourist Information Centre (Walkable distance from the station) is a good place to start with. A friendly official gave me ideas on what i could see in Asakusa. Of course, the Sensoji Temple is the main attraction here. The temple as such is no 'big deal' when you compare it to the temples in India.
1) You dont feel its a temple.
2) There is nothing much to see too (apart from understanding the history)
The nakamise street is interesting though. its lined wthh Souvenier and sweet shops. I bought a japanese doll (2500 yen) and a one-arm-swinging cat (800 yen) and plan to buy a kimono for my niece.
Shold update this post later today!!!
