Asakusa to Tokyo Skytree Walk: Senso-ji Route and Map

Asakusa and the Skytree look far apart on a transit map but sit close enough to walk. This route links Tokyo's best-known temple with its tallest tower across the Sumida River.

Where does the walk start?

Start at Kaminarimon, the large gate at the front of the temple area, and walk the Nakamise shopping street to Senso-ji. Early morning is calmer than midday.

How do you cross the Sumida River?

From the temple, head back toward the river and cross Azuma Bridge. The Skytree stays in sight on the other side, so navigation is simple.

How does it finish?

The walk ends at Tokyo Skytree, where the shops and restaurants of Skytree Town give you an easy indoor finish. Observation decks are ticketed, so check the official site if you want to go up.

Is this route step-free?

Step-free access along the whole route has not been verified. Check each section for your own needs before you rely on it.
