Tokyo Travel 4: Asakusa
Asakusa is like a historical site in the center of Tokyo. There are a lot of beautiful places, the most famous and must see from Asakusa is definitely Sensouji temple. It is a Buddist temple with the notica-able big lentern landmark

The kaminarimon, and the main building is beautiful. Tokyo Skytree is located near enough and you can see it from Sensoji. If you happen to go to Sensoji, I suggest you to take the old road Nakamise dori, not the tourist road. In the old road (right after the Asakusa station from Tokyo Metro Ginza line). They have old type of stores, which looks like any Japanese shopping district with old Japanese looks and also ryotei, Japanese dining. While the tourist road that I talk about is the alley where there are only souvenir shops, which is interesting on its own and its a great place to find yourself a souvenir from Japan.

Recommended path from me, would be since it near to Tokyo Skytree and Ryogoku, you should try to go to those places in one go.
Tokyo Skytree is the one of the landmark in Tokyo. With a height of 634 meters (634 can be read as "Musashi", a historic name of the Tokyo Region), it is the tallest building in Japan and the second tallest structure in the world at the time of its completion. There are two observation deck, the normal one located around 350 meters, which entrance fee is 2060 yen, and if you bring foreign passport with you, there is a designated area for foreigners called fast ticket. Above it at 450 meters is the Tombo deck (you will have to pay 1030 yen more to get there).

Here is the Recommended path around historic area in around Asakusa and modern part of Tokyo in Odaiba and Tokyo Skytee from Tokyo Official Guide (PS: water taxi is ranges from 1100-1600 yen from Ryogoku, you could also take the train to Odaiba but the Gundam is a must see! especially at night since it has the lighting and video on. The gundam even moves.)
