Message from Tamra Bow

Nakamise Shopping Street in Asakusa is a vibrant and historic destination lined with shops offering Japanese sweets, street foods, traditional souvenirs, and more. Dating back to the late 17th century, this street was created to serve visitors to Sensoji Temple and continues to attract both local and international tourists. From trying delicious sweets like Kibi Dango and Ningyoyaki to shopping for unique souvenirs like traditional dress and folding fans, Nakamise Street offers a timeless glimpse into Japanese culture and tradition. Don't forget to snap some photos at the iconic Hozomon Gate and enjoy the lively surroundings of this Edo downtown area.
