Old and New Architecture in Tokyo - Photo 5
By Muza-chan on Jan 17, 2010 | In Japan travel | 21 feedbacks »
This is an old building that I like very much, on Asakusa Dori. I passed by it on every trip I made to Tokyo…

… and when I returned home I discovered that I never took a picture with it. I always delayed, whether because I didn’t like the light, or the street was too crowded… or I was simply too tired.
Until the last year… when I decided to take the picture the first time I passed by. ![]()

This small house, surviving between the two 13-storied apartment buildings, is probably the most striking example of the blending between old and new architecture that can be seen in Tokyo.

If you want to see it yourself, here is the Google Street view:
