2025 Asakusa Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

📍Asakusa station Exit A4 Get out of the station, turn right and walk out to the main road, then turn left and walk straight to the intersection, you will find the entrance to Asakusa Temple. In the souvenir shop area, there is a recommended matcha shop. 📍Morihan shop, the ice cream is very delicious The matcha is very rich and mellow. There are 3 types of ceremonial grade matcha to choose from. The outside looks like a corner cafe with a few tables and people waiting in line to buy ice cream. When you go inside the shop, you can walk down to the basement, there are 2-3 more tables in there. The shop sells matcha powder in a white and gold jar. The taste is not too nutty, just right. 📍Sawa shop, Asakusa branch This shop is located on the bridge, inside the temple. There is a picture of a large ice cream cone in front of the shop. At first, I was going to buy souvenirs because I saw that there were a lot of snacks, but I found matcha powder. This shop is pure matcha that made me open my mind. It is very easy to eat and the price is not too expensive. It's a temple visit where you can pray and get a lot of matcha to take home. 🙏🏻🫶🏻✨ If you visit Asakusa Temple, I highly recommend it. These two shops are not yet popular. ❗️Shops in front of the temple close at 5:00 PM. #TokyoTrip #Matcha #MatchaLatte #MatchaIceCream #Asakusa #TokyoTrip #Matcha #Matchalatte #Matchalover

This year I have been to Tokyo three times and every time I have to go to Asakusa. Today I will tell you why you should not miss going to this area. What is good about it? 🤔 1️⃣ There are many foods to choose from. Most importantly, they are very delicious. You can walk in randomly and it is still delicious. There are many famous restaurants here. They have everything, whether it is savory or sweet. The downside is that most restaurants open at 11 am. I recommend coming here for lunch or dinner. 🍜 2️⃣ Excellent shopping area. Girls can shop tax free because there are so many shops to choose from. Some things are cheaper than Donki. Or if you are lazy and want to shop completely, there is Donki and a department store near the temple. I think this branch has fewer people than the others. 🛍️ 3️⃣ Mu Telu 🙏🏻📿 When you come to the temple, you can't help but make a wish. Sensoji Temple is famous for its amulets. You can choose any kind you want. Health, work, money, love, family, they have everything. Their stuff is awesome, I can't say it's true 555555. For those who buy amulets, don't forget to activate the ultimate by circling the amulet on the incense pot at the temple 3 times. 🤣 #TokyoTravel

📍Address: 1 Chome-20-3 Asakusa, Taito City, Tokyo 111-0032 Japan 📍Atmosphere/Facilities: A small standing sushi bar 📍Key Points Instead of Instagram, I thoroughly searched Google Maps to find this place. They highly recommended the tuna here, and although I've never been impressed by tuna before, I decided to give it a try. The tuna was good, but I couldn't really tell. However, the golden eye snapper and ark shell were insanely delicious. The eel and tuna were decent. You can't go wrong with anything you order here. We stopped after a moderate amount since we planned to snack a lot, but I understand why some reviews mention eating a ton. 📍Average Price per Person: 3,200 yen (Tuna set, golden eye snapper, eel, ark shell) 📍Rating: 4.5/5

#TokyoTravel 💌 When you have the chance to fly to Tokyo, in addition to shopping and eating, another thing you can't miss is to intentionally pay homage to the Buddha at a temple. 💓 "Asakusa" or the Red Lantern Temple, as we Buddhists like to call it, because of the legend of its sacredness, whoever comes to pay homage and pray will have their wishes granted. 💗 This place has beautiful architecture. And the temple's distinctive red color, especially the giant red lantern at Kaminarimon Gate, which anyone who comes must stop by to take a picture and return with a great impression. 📍 Sensō-ji 2-chōme-3-1 Asakusa, Taitō-ku, 📍 Tōkyō-to 111-0032, Japan ⏰ 06.00-17.00 hrs. ⏰ October-March 06.00 - 16.30 hrs. ☎️ 813-3842-0181 #IndyTrip #travel #onedaytrip #missnature #centralregionteam #waitingfordeparture #familytrip #goodatmosphere #beautifulphotocoordinates #wintertravel #winterattractions #japanesetravel #japantravel #japanreview #travelabroad #worship #enhanceluck #amulet #famoustemple #tripgiveawayfreeaccommodation #christmas2023

Just the giant chef head on top of the building is enough to take a photo of Kappabashi, a place that gathers all kinds of kitchen-related products. It is easy to get to from Asakusa, a popular tourist spot for Thais. In addition to the giant chef head, there is also a golden kappa statue that is like a sacred place for people to pay homage. In addition, the old-fashioned and classic atmosphere of the various shops is worth a walk to enjoy the atmosphere. For those who are tired of the modern, crowded atmosphere of Shinjuku, Harajuku, and Shibuya, come here. You might get a good frying pan and spatula to use.

These days, Thais are traveling to Japan a lot, especially in Tokyo, where no matter where you go, you will find Thai friends. A must-see attraction when visiting Tokyo is the large red lantern temple, Sensoji, in the Asakusa area, because it is a highlight that you must check in, worship, walk around and eat delicious snacks, and shop for various products on the street in front of the temple. Or if you want to go all out, girls must rent a kimono to wear and walk around the temple. But for us this time, we didn't focus on the area in front of the temple, but walked through the back of the temple to find a row of buildings that have been transformed into cute shops, giving off a sense of ancient Japan. If it's during the cool weather, I guarantee that walking along this street will be very enjoyable because it's not hot, and you can also take pictures with old buildings that are mostly decorated in brown and original wood tones. It's like walking in the past. The shops on both sides of the road have a variety of products for you to shop for, whether it's snacks or general products. You can stop and look at whatever you like. As for those who like taking pictures, they will probably like it because the old-fashioned buildings contrast with the modernity of the tall buildings, making it a perfect contrast. If you go to Tokyo during this time, And stop by Asakusa area. Stop by and walk around. I believe you will be so happy that you won't want to leave.

Address: Asakusa Tourism Atmosphere/Facilities: Kaminarimon is famous as the symbol of Asakusa. The big, striking red lantern is also a popular photo spot. We went for a snack at Nakamise Shopping Street in Asakusa. The area was bustling with tourists as they returned. Finally, we visited Sensoji Temple. #AsakusaTourism #Kaminarimon #SensojiTemple #AsakusaNakamise #Date #GirlsTrip #FamilyTrip #TokyoTourism

I visited Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa around late morning, close to lunchtime. Even though it was still early in the day, the area was already full of people—tourists everywhere, many of them wearing yukata or kimono, taking photos in front of the temple and around the shopping streets. The atmosphere was lively and energetic, with local shops open along Nakamise Street, which leads to the temple. The street was filled with souvenirs, snacks, and traditional items that added to the cultural feel of the place. I didn’t spend too long here because the crowd felt a bit overwhelming, but just walking around and looking at the stunning architecture of the temple was enough for me to feel inspired. The design, colors, and presence of the place made a strong impression. I recommend visiting during the daytime for the full experience, especially if it’s your first time in Tokyo. That said, I didn’t get a chance to see it at night, and I plan to do that next time—I've heard the temple is beautifully lit in the evening, and I think it would offer a different, more peaceful atmosphere. If you visit Tokyo, Senso-ji is a must-see—not just for the temple itself, but also for the local culture and street energy surrounding it.

In addition to visiting Sensoji Temple, you must also taste the local ramen when you come to Asakusa. The family-inherited Asakusa store Asakusashoten may seem like a place that sells souvenirs, but it is actually an old-style ramen shop. As usual, when you enter the store, you can choose different foods from the vending machine at the door. The vending machine provides several different languages, and there are pictures so you don't have to worry about not understanding them. After choosing, take the ramen receipt, find a seat, and a chef will come to collect the receipt. The space in the store is not very large, and there is a little bit of oppression, but it is acceptable. The ramen soup base is rich, the thickness of the fork is even, and the noodles can be selected in different softness and hardness. There are many condiments on the table to add flavor. It is delicious overall. #I love to travel #BigJ loves to travel #ilovetravel #traveller #enjoymylife #foodies #jasontai1106 #jason_tai1106 #Japan #Tokyo #tokyo #Asakusa #Family inheritance Asakusa store #Asakusashoten

#summervacay You're so right – Tokyo really is a giant Miffyland! And this Miffy specialty store near Asakusa Temple is absolutely delightful, even cuter than some of the Sanrio Hello Kitty shops, if you ask me! It's super easy to find, just about 100 meters from the Asakusa Temple subway exit. I ended up buying so much! I even managed to snag the limited edition Miffy dressed in a kimono – how adorable is that?! They have an amazing range of products: all sorts of Miffy merchandise, cookies, and even coffee. The tiny, adorable Miffy storybook fridge magnets, the newly released cups, umbrellas, and various plushies are all incredibly charming. They make perfect souvenirs or gifts for anyone! #JapanTravel #TokyoTravel #TokyoFood #Miffy #Asakusa #AsakusaTemple #MiffyStore #LimitedEdition #Kawaii #Souvenirs #ShoppingInTokyo

Many people come to Asakusa for Sensoji Temple, but since the Edo period it has been an important gathering place for leather processing and leather goods wholesale. In the past, a large number of leather craftsmen and workshops gathered here to make all kinds of leather goods from everyday items to festival utensils. In modern times, Asakusa still retains many old-fashioned leather workshops and craft shops, and has developed a unique "Tokyo Leather Culture". My friend bought his first pair of handmade leather shoes from this one-person studio 📍Wheelrobe The brand is limited to Asakusa showroom and adopts a reservation system, allowing customers to slowly try on shoes, select materials and feel the detailed spirit of the craftsman Each shoe has only a few sizes depending on luck and with the leather shoes or not, and only men's models Other recommendations that I researched but didn't get to: 1.Rolling Dub Trio (The Boots Shop) X 1.

#Overseas travel #Tokyo travel #Asakusa #Sensoji As expected, there are a ton of tourists during the day.. Even at the end of May, the weather was hot and I was sweating profusely😅 After looking around Sensoji during the day, I went shopping, went to the hot springs, and came back in the evening! There are many old bars with a nice atmosphere nearby, so I came back again ㅋㅋㅋ There are a lot less people and it's cooler in the evening, so it's nice to look around~ However, the Sensoji shops are closed in the evening, so you can't shop for souvenirs. If you don't need to shop for souvenirs, I recommend coming around sunset and looking around! There are drugstores, Uniqlo, etc. nearby, so it was nice to go in and shop when it was hot. The view of Skytree between the alleys is also good! 📍Asakusa, Sensoji

Asakusa is a microcosm of Tokyo's traditional culture, offering a shopping experience full of Japanese charm! Nakamise Street is a must-visit destination. This 300-meter shopping street leading to Senso-ji Temple is packed with wagashi (Japanese sweets) and souvenirs. We recommend the handmade mochi from Manendo (around 800 yen per box), which features a chewy exterior and sweet filling, making it a perfect gift. Keychains or phone cases shaped like the iconic Kaminarimon lantern (around 500-1500 yen) are available in many shops along Nakamise Street and make for memorable keepsakes. For travelers who love Japanese-style clothing, Nakaya offers beautifully designed and practical items like traditional fans and headscarves. Asakusa Underground Shopping Street is a treasure trove of retro toys and second-hand kimonos, ideal for bargain hunters. Nearby, Don Quijote Asakusa Store provides affordable snacks and exclusive KitKat flavors. When shopping, it's recommended to carry cash, as some small shops do not accept credit cards. Check store hours in advance (most are open from 9 AM to 6 PM) and avoid holiday crowds to enjoy a leisurely shopping experience in Asakusa!

A unique experience in Asakusa! You can try engraving patterns into Kiriko glass! Reservation required! You can choose your favorite glass! It's easier to make larger glasses, but it may be difficult if you want to add lots of patterns. Kiriko is carved using a machine. This is difficult...! You'll definitely get engrossed in it 😑 Even if it's distorted, it will look good when you add light in the dark at the end lol I recommend it for foreigners too! After the Kiriko experience, it's good to stroll around while looking at the Skytree! Sensoji Temple is crowded, so I recommend Imado Shrine! It's the god of matchmaking here! #EnjoyJapan
