Күн бұрынAsakusa is quintessential Japan: copious temples, festivals, street food, rickshaws, and kimono. So much so that it’s probably the most visited tourist spot in the city.

I loved Asakusa when I was there in November last year. I didn't know the side streets had so much to offer! I'll have to do that on my next visit.

do you have a video on the various boats/ferries on Sumida River and Tokyo bay?

Hi there! We don't have a video as of yet but there is an article over on our website about the various night cruises on Tokyo Bay: tokyocheapo.com/entertainment/music-and-nightlife/low-cost-night-cruises-tokyo-bay/

I booked a hotel in Asakusa based on a previous Tokyo Cheapo video. Can't wait. But, I'm confused. My guide books so far say that Romanized Japanese words are quite simply pronounced by the vowels and syllable combinations. That suggests that Asakusa is "ah-sah-kuh-sah." How can it rather be "Ah-suck-sa"?

Hi there! You're right on the pronunciation with "ah-sah-kuh-sah". We perhaps just said it quite fast in the video so the syllables blended into each other a little 😆 So great to hear you booked a hotel there. Have a fantastic trip!

Damn, Asakusa is like my second home. But I didn't even know about all of these.

Kinda rude you didn’t have your driver in the thumbnail. Even if they said to keep them out you could still support the business.
