Pop Japan

Asakusa Culture and Tourism Center is located at Kaminarimon, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan. This place is open from 9AM-8PM for travelers who want to experience this spectacular building.

Designed by Japanese architects Kengo Kuma and Associates, on the outside, the building seems to be fine stacks of roof.

On the inside, the tower storeys are separated by horizontal and sloping dividers that make up the building's eight floors, as seen on the outside. The sloping "dividers" are reflected on the inside by the diagonally-inclined ceilings. The wooden louvres, as seen from the outside are spaced differently, depending on the requirements of a certain room. They can be narrowly-spaced for more privacy or widely-distanced to allow more light to pass through.
