Twilight lowers a cool sheet over Asakusa as lantern light from Senso‑ji drifts across Nakamise Street. You start on foot—sampling hot takoyaki and skewered yakitori—then follow the Sumida’s walkways to a small pier where the river waits, dark and reflective, daring you to trade the bustle for a slow glide toward the neon horizon.
