Asakusa, Its History
It is believed that in the 7th century, fishermen brothers scooped up a Kannon statue in a fishnet. The brother decided to enshrine the statue and then Sensoji Temple was built by local peoples to worship the statue. The temple was built on a safe plateau where local people used as an evacuation zone.
In the Edo era which started in 1603, rice granaries were built in Kuramae alongside Sumida river, where rice dealers called fudasashi thrived. They obtained the right from the Tokugawa shogunate or military government to pay cash on the security of a vassal's or samurai's rice stipends. They became the original founders of Japan's earliest banks. They became very rich by obtaining commissions from rice farmers and samurai too. Those fudasashi enjoyed such extravagant entertainment as pleasure boat cruises with geisha girls on Sumida river, geisha parties in gay quarters, kabuki theatergoing, sumo tournament watching, just to name a few.
In the middle of 17th century, licensed gay quarters were moved to Yoshiwara in Asakusa from Nihonbashi. After the big fire of Meireki in 1657 which took lives of some 100,000 people, many kabuki theaters were built in a town called Saruwaka. Ukiyoe, woodblock prints started to appear around this time. The popular subjects of ukiyoe were then famous geisha girls, kakubi actors, sumo wrestlers, Mt. Fuji and other famous land sceneries. Many travelers from local areas bought a lot of ukiyoe near Zojoji temple as a souvenir.
In the Meiji era that started in 1868, the area around Sensoji temple was designated as a municipal park. After World War II many live entertainment theaters including strip joints and revues were built along with a red-light district in Yoshiwara. In recent years, Asakusa Samba carnival was introduced and Sumida-river fireworks stopped since from the Edo era was revived. It now attracts more than one million visitors. But Japanese traditional Sanja-maturi or portable shrine parades which starts and ends at Asakusa Jinja and Hozuki-ichi or ground cherry fair and Hagoita-ichi or battledore fair are held in the precincts of Sensoji Temple and Torinoichi at Otori-jinja Shrine. Tokyo Skytree, the radio tower, 634 meters high built in 2012 is located within some 20-minute walk.
In Asakusa area, there are many traditional Japanese restaurants such as sushi bars, tempura, unagi or eel, and soba restaurants. Reasonably priced bar stands abound where many salaried workers and craftspeople spend an evening. Many souvenir shops specialized in traditional Japanese souvenirs line both sides of Nakamise street leading to Sensoji temple from Kaminari-mon gate. At those stores, tourists can buy
traditional Japanese kimono, fans, kids' toys, lacquered chopstics, just to name a few. Visitors can enjoy eating freshly made rice crackers, fish-shaped pancake filled with anko or sweet bean jam. On weekends, streets around Senjoji temple are just about jam packed with visitors. In recent years, overseas visitors account for two-thirds of the all visitors.
There are many reasonably priced lodging facilities available near Asakusa areas, but popuplar facilities should be booked one year in advance.
More and more overseas tourists prefer to visit Asakusa instead of Ginza area because of Asakusa's traditional Japanese atmosphere and reasonable prices.
