Ueno
If you want to get a feel for old Tokyo, Ueno in the Taito district is a good place to start. Entirely lacking in high-rise condos or whiz-bang shopping malls, by Tokyo standards it's distinctly downmarket, in contrast to places like Ginza, but that means that eating, shopping and drinking are all affordably priced.
Asakusa
Asakusa is a part of Tokyo's downtown Taito district, best known for its many temples, particularly Sensō-ji, Tokyo's largest Buddhist temple.
