In Japan, Asakura murals are an example of well-organized chaos.
Asakusa is a must-see, with its charming streets (and even the metro station) adorned with these beautiful paintings depicting Japanese history. The thick but aesthetically unified murals exude a cultural vibe while fulfilling two functions: art and storytelling. In Asakusa, you can also buy unusual foods and souvenirs and watch cooks produce street delicacies via glass windows. Visit the iconic Kaminarimon temple, albeit you may have to compete with other eager tourists!
