Helpfulness
Asakusa is outdoor shops, nice for gifts to bring back to family, friends and co-workers. From t-shirts to dolls. Prices vary, but most things are less than $10 usd - however my Japanese doll in fashion glass case cost 2000 yen ($200usd) but it's big in size and as an advid international doll collector, it was worth it :-)
