The neighborhood with Tokyo's highest density of traditional experiences. After visiting Senso-ji, rent a kimono and tour the streets by rickshaw, and shop for kitchen knives and food models on the kitchenware street of Kappabashi. A complete 'hands-on' day.

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Senso-ji & Kaminarimon浅草寺・雷門

    Asakusa · Temple · 60 min stay

    The giant red-lantern Kaminarimon and Tokyo's oldest temple. A starting point where you can experience Japanese worship culture, from omikuji (fortunes) to bathing in incense smoke, all at once.

  2. Walk 2 min
    2

    Nakamise-dori仲見世通り

    Asakusa · Street · 30 min stay

    The approach shopping street running from Kaminarimon to the main hall. Lined with traditional snacks and souvenirs like ningyo-yaki, senbei, and fans, just walking feels festive.

  3. Walk 5 min

    Kimono Rental Experience着物レンタル(浅草)

    Asakusa · Experience · 60 min stay

    Asakusa is dense with kimono rental shops that can do hair styling all at once. Strolling the old streets and Senso-ji in a kimono completely changes your photos (reservation recommended).

  4. Walk 3 min

    Rickshaw (Ebisuya)人力車 えびす屋

    Asakusa · Experience · 30 min stay

    Tour the back alleys of Asakusa in a rickshaw pulled by a uniformed puller. The chatty guide's commentary makes it the experience that pairs best with wearing a kimono.

  5. Walk 12 min

    Kappabashi Kitchenware Streetかっぱ橋道具街

    Asakusa · Shopping · 50 min stay

    A wholesale kitchenware street stretching about 800m. Shop for Japanese kitchen culture, from artisan knives and lifelike food models (samples) to ceramic ware. Knives are a popular souvenir.

  6. Walk 20 min

    Tokyo Skytree東京スカイツリー

    Oshiage · Observatory · 70 min stay

    A 634m world-class broadcast tower. Within walking distance of Asakusa, so it's good to close the day with a dusk view. The night view of Asakusa across the river and Tokyo Bay below is all in sight.
