All Reviews of Taito Ward Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center

When visiting Asakusa to pay your respects, you definitely shouldn’t miss this great free hidden gem—the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center.

Just take the elevator straight to the observation deck on the top floor for an excellent bird’s-eye view. From here, you can see the tall, modern Tokyo Skytree across the way and the uniquely shaped Asahi Beer building next to it, which looks like a golden flying cloud. Looking down, you can also see the bustling crowds packed in front of Kaminarimon, looking like tiny ants. The contrast is very interesting and makes for spectacular photos.

Besides the unbeatable view from the top floor, I also highly recommend stopping by the exhibition room inside, where the extensive displays offer a deeper understanding of Asakusa’s history and local character. If you come to Asakusa, don’t forget to step inside this beautiful building designed by renowned architect Kengo Kuma and experience a different side of Tokyo from above.

The observation deck at the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center is a great place to enjoy views of the Asakusa cityscape! From above, you can clearly see Kaminarimon, Nakamise Street, and the crowds coming and going, with Tokyo Skytree visible in the distance. The usually bustling streets feel different when seen from this angle. Asakusa is full of energy during the day, and the mix of traditional streetscapes and modern buildings creates one of Tokyo's most distinctive views. If you're tired from walking, come up and take a look. You can also capture a beautiful photo of Asakusa and Tokyo Skytree together.

You can go up and see Kaminarimon for free, which is honestly such a nice perk. The view is pretty good too.
The building itself has a lot of character. The wood-toned design feels really warm and comfortable, and it matches the Asakusa atmosphere outside perfectly.

The observation deck on the top floor is awesome! You get a great view of Kaminarimon and Tokyo Skytree.

It's really spacious inside and there's an observation room. Most importantly, there's air conditioning!!!

Every time I finish shopping in Asakusa, I come here to relax and have some coffee. Highly recommended!
