North Tokyo
 Already
bustling centers in Edo times (1603-1867), Asakusa and Ueno belong
to what Tokyoites call shitamachi (literally "downtown"). A
must-visit in Asakusa is Sensoji, Tokyo's oldest temple, the
approach to which is lined by stores featuring colorful displays of
traditional crafts. At Ameyoko market street in Ueno, you can pick
up unusual bargains ranging from dried squid to fake designer
shirts. Culture buffs should head for the Tokyo National Museum and
the National Museum of Western Art in Ueno Park.
Four other areas are worth mentioning: Akihabara, the shoppers'
paradise for anything electrical and electronic; Ikebukuro, most
often visited for the sweeping view from the top of Sunshine City,
one of the first skyscrapers in earthquake-prone Tokyo; Korakuen,
site of an amusement park and Tokyo Dome, a modernistic sports
(mostly baseball) arena that can accommodate up to 56,000; and
Odaiba, an ongoing oceanfront development, served by monorail, that
looks like the nucleus of the city of the future.
