Access
Asakusa Station (Metro Ginza Line / Tobu Skytree Line / Toei Asakusa Line) is the closest station. In particular, Exit 3 of the Metro Ginza Line is the closest, and you can reach Kaminari-mon in about 1 minute, but it is no big problem if you take other exits. However, Asakusa Station (Tsukuba Express) is an exception because it is far away. Also, please be aware that the ground area around Asakusa Station is always crowded.
