      Paolo fromTOKYO Paolo and Maiko, you guys rock! You have the best travel to Japan videos. So much detail! The map helps so much and it's downloadable! You spell things and names out and give links and directions. So efficient! My BF also subscribed to your UA-cam channel! I am going to get my travel friends to subscribe too. You're the best! I've seen other Asakusa videos but yours is the most detailed and showed a lot more than other videos. I love you guys!

    Dude I absolutely love your enthusiasm and I laughed out loud when you kept referring to the flame as a golden turd. I have to plan a two week trip around Tokyo and I was so overwhelmed by it, but your video made me feel so much better because you have showed me so many fun things to do just in Asakusa. The boat trip looks incredible at night.

    The hostel I stay at in Tokyo is in Asakusa, about 4 blocks from the shrine. It's one of my favorite neighborhoods in Tokyo. The food is great, it's super walkable, and wandering around the shrine grounds at night is one of the most peaceful things you'll experience.

    Hi Paolo, love the channel. I have been watching it for the past month as I’m gearing up to visit Tokyo in a few days. I saw on the Asakusa Culture Center that there will be a Geisha performance next weekend on 10th - tickets are passed out for free on same day at 10am, so first come first serve.
    Hope you see you and Meiko there also.

    As with Paolo's other Asakusa video, I followed the Tokyo Zebra's footsteps! Well worth it!!
    #1 - The street food at Nakimise was plentiful and fresh to eat. There are too many things to cover, but it is great to try. As I was there over the New Year, closer to the temple there are a lot of food shops that pop up for the festivities and is an extension of the Nakimise strip.
    #2 Sensoji - is a pretty cool temple. Worth the exploration of the grounds around it.
    #3 Side Streets - I agree with Paolo, the shutter art on the businesses when closed is pretty cool. Worth and early morning or after hours look.
    #5 Sumida Park - I bet in the summer it is cool, or in spring with Cherry Blossoms, winter it can be a bit chilly with wind off the water.
    #6 Monja Lunch - it was cool. Menu in Japanese, but pictures show you how to do the lunch. The two ladies who worked there were awesome, and helped me out as it was my first time. They were really cool. I ordered the Mantaiko Special and was not disappointed.
    #7 Asahi Beer - When you go up, you have to order a beer to get the view. No line like SkyTree, but it is pretty cool. View is great. First time I ever had an Asahi Super Dry and was very impressed.
    I enjoyed the directions that and places Paolo suggested. I think you should follow the same route too!! Thanks!!

But I never knew one could go to the Asahi building?! Also, good to see the golden poop has been unveiled again .D my sister was very sad last autumn when they were... um... polishing it? .DDD

    Paolo; your videos are so informative on the best places for shopping, dining, and entertainment in Tokyo. I love them and your positive energy. Congrats on getting married to a girl who clearly loves you. I hope that you might consider the idea of doing a video on the top ten things to do in Harajuku.
