Tokyo / Asakusa

1 Chome-36-3 Asakusa, Taito City, Tokyo 111-0032, Japan

One of Japan's oldest shopping street. It connects the Kaminarimon Gate to Sensō-ji Temple.

A street filled with shops that sell trinkets, souvenirs and street food. If you want a quieter experience and don't care that much about the boutiques, visit in the early morning to take in the classic old-Tokyo vibe. If you're looking for something more atmospheric, go in the evening after the shops close, the temple grounds remain open and illuminated until ~11PM. Nakamise-dōri also has parallel side streets that have their own shops and street food vendors.
