Located near the Sumida River and Azumabashi Bridge, Ekimise Asakusa is directly accessible from the Tobu Line ticket gates, with the Tobu Line platforms on the 2nd floor of the building.
Ekimise Asakusa has Matsuya Asakusa on the 3rd floor, and the 4th floor onwards houses fashion, miscellaneous goods, and restaurants.
And, there's a seating area on the rooftop floor of Ekimise Asakusa, called "Asakusa Haleterrace."
▼Skytree right in front of you!
▼Asakusa Haleterrace overall
▼Wooden benches with sunshade tarps
There are 14 three-seater wooden benches installed.
You'll be surprised when you visit! This is a relaxing break spot with an open feeling, and the Skytree is right in front of you!
You can also see the "golden building" of the Asahi Beer headquarters and the "Flame d'Or" object.
If you want to take an Instagram-worthy photo with the Skytree in the background in Asakusa, this is a spot you should definitely visit.
Regarding the seating area, there are three-seater benches lined up where there are tarps for sunshade.
It's convenient because it's easy to use even on days with strong sunlight.
Also, there are benches near the fence where you can see the Skytree well.
These don't have backs, but they seem like a good place to relax and gaze at the Skytree.
It's also convenient as a place to eat lunch boxes in Asakusa!
In addition, when I checked during Golden Week, the seats were vacant, probably because it's not well-known.
By the way, the Matsuya Asakusa floor on the 1st floor was very crowded, and it was difficult just to pass through, so this is a hidden gem for a break with a good view.
Asakusa Haleterrace is open from 10:00 to 20:00, so you can go even in the evening.
Why not use it as a seating area near Asakusa Station when shopping at Ekimise Asakusa?
