The Thunder Gate and the Skytree, Walking Asakusa and the Sumida

You are starting a walk through Asakusa, from a kitchen-supply street to the Thunder Gate, the temple of Senso-ji, the Sumida River and Tokyo Skytree. The walk is about three and a half kilometres from Tawaramachi Station, around an hour on foot, and ten stops. If you are already at Asakusa Station, you can join at the Thunder Gate, the second stop. The temple grounds are free to walk, and the main hall is usually open from early morning until five in the afternoon. In summer the streets are hot; carry water and a hat. The river path has little shade. Interiors later, including the Skytree decks, are optional, with their own hours and tickets. Walk north from Tawaramachi Station along Kappabashi-dori, to the shop fronts of the kitchen town.
