I was saying the other day about the Nishi Sando arcade in Asakusa --here is its entrance from the Sensoji side, made to bring to mind the old theaters and cinemas that were in Asakusa in the early 20th century (incidentally, this is also how the Kabukiza, the Kabuki theater in Ginza is designed.)

And here is the other entrance, from the side of Hoppi Dori, the street with the dozens of outdoors izakaya.
