Cool Japan - 2014x02 - Asakusa- Followmy.tv

Asakusa is attracting an increasing number of tourists especially now with the TOKYO SKYTREE in place. What's so appealing about it? We asked the tourists to film their time spent in Asakusa. The unique design of colorful bamboo rakes for good luck caught our foreign guest's attention at the "Tori no Ichi" festival. Compact yet nostalgic rides are found in an amusement park with a 160-year history that is very much loved by locals. The program will rediscover the charms of Asakusa where retro and modern flavors coincide.
