• Asakusa and Senso-ji: Where Tokyo Came to Pray and Play: Tokyo's oldest temple drew the city's loudest pleasure district in around it, and when the 1945 air raid burned both, worshippers, industrialists and the pleasure district itself helped pay to put the temple back. Nine stops from the Sumida River through the Thunder Gate, Nakamise and Senso-ji to Asakusa Shrine, Hanayashiki, the old theatre street of Rokku and a shrine to the tanuki.
