3 places for Asakusa in Tokyo, picked by creators — with what they said.

IYOSHI COLA Asakusa Rokku — Jack's Dining Room
Said that even though they don't usually enjoy soda, it was so refreshing they'd call it "the best cola they've ever had in their life."
Heads up: Said a pack of cola runs about $13, which is pricey, and that the pit vipers on display seem to be mostly for atmosphere.
浅草寺 — Condé Nast Traveler
Acknowledged as a beautiful, iconic, and massive temple that represents Tokyo.
Heads up: He implied it's a 'go if you need an Instagram shot' kind of spot, and recommended other more unique temples instead.
Benizuru Pancake — Jack's Dining Room
Praised the fresh omakase-style pancake bar concept, where they make the batter and grill it right in front of you, topping it with a variety of toppings — and said the taste was excellent too.
Heads up: Said you have to wake up at 5am, line up for the 7am registration, and prepay for your pancakes, and that they're already sold out by 7:45am.
