Plan description

Walking from Kaminarimon through Nakamise Shopping Arcade to Sensoji Temple, you will experience nearly 2000 years of history and Japan's unique food culture. At Sensoji Temple, you will learn and experience traditional worship customs such as purification and the correct way to offer prayers. If you wish, you can also draw a fortune slip. At Asakusa Shrine, you will learn the difference between a Buddhist temple and a Shinto shrine. Walking along Hoppy Street, you will get a glimpse of Japanese izakaya culture, and iconic local dishes such as *Hoppy* (a popular drink) and motsu stew will jump out at your eyes. Finally, you will go to Kappa Street (Kappabashi Dogu Street), one of Japan's leading wholesale districts. Check out the statue of Kappa, a mischievous creature that appears in Japanese folklore, which is also the name of the place! You can buy souvenirs unique to Japan, such as traditional tableware, lacquerware, knives, and food replicas.

Kaminarimon

Begin your tour at Kaminarimon, a popular tourist spot and the starting point of Asakusa sightseeing. The giant red lanterns hanging from the gate are a favorite photo spot for travelers. Once inside the gate, you'll enter the bustling Nakamise Shopping Street, where you can enjoy Japanese sweets and souvenirs. Surrounded by statues of the wind and thunder gods, the iconic gate is the perfect opportunity to experience Japanese culture as you stroll through the historic district.

Sensoji Temple

Sensoji Temple is Tokyo's oldest temple, founded in 628, and remains a powerful symbol of history and faith. You can get a glimpse of traditional Japanese architecture, including the majestic main hall and five-story pagoda. Why not experience temple customs first-hand by drawing a fortune slip or omikuji and offering incense? Amidst the bustling atmosphere, it is also a peaceful place to take a breath and reflect.

Kappabashi Shopping Street

Kappabashi Street is a historic shopping street with over 100 years of history, known as the "holy land of chefs." It is lined with specialty shops selling everything from professional cooking utensils and tableware to Japan's famous plastic food samples. On this tour, you will also stop at shops selling traditional Japanese tableware, lacquerware, knives, and dagashi sweets, all of which are nostalgic Japanese sweets that are part of Japan's food culture. Located within walking distance of Sensoji Temple, this is a one-of-a-kind shopping experience that food lovers will love.
