Activity itinerary

Kaminari mon
  • 10m
Kaminarimon Gate was donated by Konosuke Matsushita, the founder of Panasonic. The charm of Asakusa Kaminarimon is its magnificent appearance as a symbol of Asakusa, sculptures such as the wind god and thunder god, and the golden and heavenly dragons, and the impressive large lanterns. Beyond that, Nakamise Shopping Street and Sensoji Temple offer a traditional atmosphere and cultural experience.
Nakamise Shopping Street
  • 20m
Nakamise-dori's charms lie in its historical background, food, and traditional souvenirs. As one of Japan's oldest shopping streets, it offers both traditions dating back to the Edo period and the lively atmosphere of the approach to Sensoji Temple. Another attraction is the wide variety of products on display, including sweets perfect for eating on the go, such as fried manju and ningyo-yaki, as well as traditional crafts.
Senso-ji Temple
  • 30m
Senso-ji Temple is Tokyo's oldest temple and a popular tourist spot in Taito Ward, Tokyo. It is said to have begun in 628 (during the reign of Empress Suiko) when a statue of Kannon was discovered in the Sumida River and enshrined by local dignitary Haji no Ataenakatomo. The principal image is the Bodhisattva Kannon, affectionately known as "Asakusa Kannon" due to its compassion. Passing through the famous Kaminarimon Gate and walking down Nakamise Street, you will find the main hall, which is bustling with worshippers from Japan and abroad.
Asakusa
