WALK THROUGH A TIME WARP IN ASAKUSAIf you want a taste of traditional Tokyo head to Asakusa, the spiritual heart of Old Japan. The Tokyo Tower is a radio transmitter made of steel, and resembles the Eiffel Tower, which started operating in 1958. Bird's eye view from the Tokyo Tower. Tenugui are traditional Japanese hand towels with motifs like flying carp streamers. Other things to pick up are chopsticks, yukata, wooden clogs (geta), Japanese fabrics and kitschy, plastic fake food samples.
