It is also an interesting place for sightseeing and souvenir shopping. How to Get There The easiest way: from Ginza Station (銀座駅): (G09 to G19) walk to Ginza Station, go to the Ginza subway line (銀座線) and buy a 190 Yen subway ticket. Take the subway bound for Asakusa. Get off at Asakusa Station (浅草駅) and go to the exit # 1. You will see the Kannondori Avenue on your right. Don’t turn but walk straight: you will see the Kaminarimon gate on your right. Otherwise, from Higashiginza Station (東銀座駅): (A11 to A18) buy a 210 Yen subway ticket and take the Asakusa subway line (浅草線) (platform number 2 “for Oshiage”). Get off at Asakusa Station (浅草駅) and go to the exit # A4. Once on the street level, turn right and walk towards the larger street. You will see the Kannondori Avenue in front of you. Turn left and walk straight for 10 meters or so, the Tourist Info Center will be on your left. The Kaminarimon Gate will be on your right. Cross the street. What to See A temporary Asakusa Tourist Information Center is located next to the Kaminarimon gate until the new office will open on a different premise The Kaminarimon Gate (雷門), painted vermilion and sporting that famous huge red lantern, is the first entrance to Asakusa Temple. On the left of the gate is a statue of the God of Wind and on the right stands the God of Thunder. Enter the gate to the Nakamise shopping street (仲見世): dozens of tiny stores sell souvenirs, Japanese sweets and salty crackers, toys, clothes (also kimono, yukata and the matching shoes), and many other goods. At the entrance to the temple grounds is the Hozomon gate (臍門), where valuable sutras are stored. On the grounds of Asakusa Kannon Temple (also called Sensoji Temple <浅草寺>), you will find the Kannon-do Main Hall, with its enshrined image of Kannon, and the Five-Story Pagoda (reconstructed in 1973). The Asakusa Shrine (浅草神社) is hidden behind the temple. As you come back from the temple to the Kaminarimon Gate, you will see on your right the Shin-Nakamise shopping street （新仲見世）, where you can find, among others, traditional Japanese fabric, clothes, shoes and umbrellas, a porcelain store, etc. If you have time / interest Kappabashi （カッパ橋）is a district catering to the restaurant business. Tableware, kitchen utensils, plastic food samples (found usually in the windows of restaurants) etc. are on sale in over 200 different shops. The Drum Museum (太鼓館) displays Japanese drums. It is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The Traditional Crafts Museum (江戸下町伝統工芸館) displays traditional Japanese handicrafts. What to do next ?

Fascinated by Artistic Azabu ⑮ A Mansion Preserved and Protected in the Azabu Area Former House of the Ishimaru Family “l’Assemblee HIROO” l’Assemblee HIROO Area of the premises: 542.1m2 (About 167.3 tsubo), Building floor space: 314.8m2 (About 97.2 tsubo) Do you know about this mansion quietly nestled along the Teppo-zaka alleyway slope in Minami Azabu? It turned 95 years old in 2017, but still has all the fascinating and elegant appearance it had when it was first built.

  • Elements of the Ubranscape in Tokyo
    Teka Kom. Arch. Urb. Stud. Krajobr. – OL PAN, 2012, VIII/1, 75-92 ELEMENTS OF THE UBRANSCAPE IN TOKYO Ewa Maria Kido CTI Engineering Co., Ltd. Consulting Engineers, 2-15-1 Nihonbashi Ningyocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Tokyo Metropolis (Tōkyō-to) of 13 mln people, crowded, colored, noisy, made of very freely designed buildings, with railway loop line separating the inner center from the outer center – from one side is similar to other large metropolises in Japan, and from another – being a capitol and having the Imperial Palace as its symbolical center, is unique. This article discusses elements of urbanscape, such as transportation infrastructure – roads and railways; junctions and city centers – neighborhoods; urban interiors – streets and squares; border lines and belts – rivers, parks; do- minant urban structures, outstanding elements – landmarks, and characteristic sights, that contrib- ute to aesthetic appeal of the landscape of Tokyo. The conclusion is that although both European cities and Tokyo have well-functioning centers, as well as sub-centers of the polycentric metropo- lises, their forms are differing because they reflect local urban planning, aesthetics, and culture. Key words: urbanscape, urban planning, Tokyo, elements of urbanscape, urban landscape INTRODUCTION Urban landscape is a combination of a city’s form and contents that includes natural and built environment. As an outcome of urban and landscape design, it involves arrangement and functioning of cities, with particular focus on architec- ture, infrastructure and green zones. Design of urban space has become increas- ingly important for the long-term development and well-being of urban commu- nities, and can provide cities with a unique identity.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.
