Overview

Kappabashi Street adjacent to Asakusa is a shopping street lined with dozens of strores selling everything needed by restaurant operators. This is the only place in Tokyo where you can find stores specialised in Japanese food replicas.

These unbelievably realistic food replicas look yummy, but you can't eat or drink them. International travellers have been intrigued by how delicious they look. If you also want to be one of them and bring your own back home to share the wonder with others, then this tour is for you.

Our guides will take you to stores where you can find replicas you like most. They will help you look around and search by intermediating between yourself and the store clerks as an iterpreter.

And of course, the tour preceding the visit to the Japanese food replica stores is one of a kind; an in-depth history tour in Asakusa.

For groups of three or more, we will use an earphone guide system which enables you to clearly listen to the guide from a distance.

Activity itinerary

Sumida Park
  • 15m
This bridge has been one of the most important and popular rivers in Tokyo. Actually, the storey of Sensoji temple originated in this river 1400 years ago.
Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center
  • 30m
Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Centre is one of Asakusa’s newest sightseeing attractions. We will go to the open terrace Observation Deck on the top floor of the Centre, where you can get a good view of the main part of Kaminarimon, the Thunder Gate, Nakamise shopping street, Sensoji Temple, and much more on one side, and on the other side, another splendid view of Tokyo Skytree and the Asahi Beer Headquarters.
Kaminarimon
  • 15m
Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate) is the entrance to the world of Buddhist temple and Shinto shrine. The world's well-known giant red lantern is hanging under the gate.
Nakamise Shopping Street (Kaminarimon)
  • 15m
This street leads to Sensoji temple. You may be surprised by its friendly and welcoming atmosphere walking on it if you had imagined solemn and stately religious facilities. The street features not just shops but "history tablets," which recounts Asakusa's history with beautiful pictures.
Hozomon
  • 15m
Hozomon ("Treasure-House Gate") is the inner of two large entrance gates that ultimately leads to the Sensoji (the outer being the Kaminarimon). A two-story gate, the Hozomon's second storey houses many of the Sensoji's treasures. The first storey houses two statues, three lanterns and two large sandals.
Senso-ji Temple
  • 15m
It is Tokyo's oldest temple, and one of its most significant. Adjacent to the temple is a five-story pagoda, which holds Buddha's ashes given by Sri Lanka government and Buddhist society for goodwill between Sri Lanka and Japan in its top floor. You can participate in centuries-old rituals at the Temple and the Asakusa Shrine and see what the fates have in store for you with Sensoji’s infamous paper fortunes.
Asakusa Shrine
  • 15m
This is a shrine of Shinto, Japan's indigenous religion sitting just next to Senshoji temple. Coexistence of two distinct religions in the same premises may be unfathomable. The guide will unlock the mystery from a historical standpoint.
Asakusa Demboin-dori
  • 30m
After the magnificence of Sensoji, we'll escape into the Rokku area: Asakusa's traditional entertainment district, always bustling yet rarely busy. Walk through the Meiji period into the present day (with stops along the way for more Japanese sweet snacks). Once a district of endless novelty — films, comedians and exotic animals — Rokku passed through its glory days to become a quaint area of handicrafts and nostalgia. Through vivid descriptions of its complex, colourful history, you'll even see sights that aren't there to see anymore! Packed with cosy bars, eateries, and snack stands, as well as boutique shops for traditionally crafted goods of all kinds, the narrow, winding and wandering streets of Rokku will lead you through the other Asakusa experience.
Kappabashi Street (Kappabashi Dogugai)
  • 1h
We will take you to the Kappabashi Street adjacent to Asakusa, a shopping street lined with dozens of strores selling everything including food samples needed by restaurant operators.
