Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center

(Source : )
Many tourists, including tourists from abroad, visit Asakusa everyday. Yet it might be hard to reach where you wish to go, if it's your first time to come to Japan. When you get lost in Asakusa, you can stop by the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center. Situated in front of Kaminarimon, this Japanese-style building is a free information center for tourists run by the Taito ward. There is staff who speak Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean to guide you. You can also exchange money, use free Wi-Fi or charge your mobile phone here. It is indeed a very practical place for tourists. I hope you will stop by when you visit Asakusa.
