Explore Japan with Tobu Railway

[Massive Discounts 💸 with TOBU Railway and Alipay] When it comes to awesome areas in Japan for tourists, there are few better than the neighbourhood of Asakusa. The neighbourhood is a perfect marriage of ‘old’ and ‘new’ - old temples ⛩️, parks, and the famous TOKYO SKYTREE towering over this lovely community. We have certainly spoken about TOKYO SKYTREE many times on this page, but truthfully, we can’t get enough of it! The world’s highest free-standing broadcast tower, it both has a function as a broadcasting tower, and as a tourist attraction for thousands of visitors a day. Complete with gift shops 🎁, a cafe, and an incredible restaurant 🍴 with a panoramic view of Tokyo - it’s an absolutely perfect experience whether it’s your first or fiftieth trip to Tokyo. Of course, below TOKYO SKYTREE is the vast TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN - with plenty to offer on its own. Made up mostly of Tokyo Solamachi, this complex hosts over 300 shops and restaurants! Great shops, great food - if you’re looking for other attractions? Perhaps the Sumida Aquarium 🐡 or Tenku Planetarium 🪐 have something up your alley! All of this is only near TOKYO SKYTREE - but close by is Ekimise, a large shopping complex built in the same building that houses Tobu Asakusa Station. Ekimise quite literally means “Station Shops” - and more than lives up to the name. From souvenirs to fashion to electronics 💻, to even books - Ekimise has it. Plus, with immediate access to the train from Ekimise, it is incredibly convenient. All this sounds good? Well, let us make the deal even sweeter! If you use Alipay, get large discounts on all of these locations! All you need to do is to either scan the QR Code to receive a voucher, or use the Alipay+ Rewards app to find the relevant page! Now that you’ve done that, take the train over to Asakusa Station with Tobu Railway, and shop, dine, and enjoy until you 🤑 drop!
