Asakusa map
Asakusa still reads as shitamachi: one axis from the Thunder Gate up Nakamise to Senso-ji, the shrine and Hanayashiki just off it, then the Sumida and Skytree facing the temple across the water. The pins here are that axis — the destination guide’s riverside and tower, plus the neighbourhood stops already listed in the Asakusa things-to-do article. For the written walk, see the Asakusa travel guide. Back to the Tokyo map.
10 guide pins (Asakusa Travel Guide: Senso-ji and Old Tokyo (2026); Asakusa, Tokyo: A Practical Guide to the Neighborhood's Key Stops). Senso-ji, Kaminarimon, Nakamise and the other temple-side stops come from the published Asakusa GeoJSON. We did not redraw Nakamise as new street geometry.
