Tokyo Skytree is the world's tallest freestanding broadcasting tower, offering a 360-degree view from its observation deck. At night, Tokyo Tower, Odaiba, and Tokyo Skytree light up the city with vibrant colors. Visitors can enjoy a dinner cruise with Japanese and Western-style dishes while taking in the stunning views.
Even on a cloudy and rainy day, visiting the Tokyo Skytree was nothing short of amazing. Standing at 634 meters, it dominates the skyline of Tokyo and offers an unforgettable experience that goes far beyond the view alone. Even though the weather wasn’t ideal, the visit proved that the Skytree’s charm doesn’t depend on clear skies — it’s a symbol of modern Japan and an experience full of fascination from start to finish. The journey begins at the base, where Skytree Town offers a lively mix of shops, restaurants, and attractions. The atmosphere is welcoming and full of energy, with visitors from all over the world. The elevator ride to the observation decks is a thrill in itself — smooth, fast, and accompanied by beautiful lights that build anticipation as you ascend to the top. When I reached the Tembo Deck and Tembo Galleria, the city below was wrapped in mist and soft rain, creating a mysterious, almost dreamlike view of Tokyo. The clouds moved quickly, sometimes revealing flashes of the Sumida River, Asakusa, and the endless urban landscape. The reflections on the glass and the quietness of the rainy day made the experience even more serene. There’s also much to enjoy indoors: the café serves excellent desserts and coffee, and the souvenir shops offer high-quality gifts with unique Skytree designs. Staff members were extremely friendly and patient, helping visitors take photos and explaining details about the structure. Leaving the Skytree, I realized that even without the perfect weather, the visit had a special atmosphere — calm, elegant, and deeply memorable. Rain or shine, Tokyo Skytree stands tall as one of Japan’s most inspiring landmarks, offering a beautiful perspective not only over the city, but over the harmony of technology, art, and spirit that defines Tokyo itself.

If you’re visiting Tokyo, I definitely recommend checking out Tokyo Skytree honestly, it’s way more impressive than Tokyo Tower! It’s much taller, and the view you get from the top is absolutely amazing. You can see the entire city spread out beneath you, and it’s such a cool experience. Personally, I think nighttime is the best time to go. The city lights look incredible, and it’s not as crowded as during sunset or daytime. Sunset can get super packed it’s hard to even find a good spot to look out! During the day there are usually more families and kids around, so it can feel a bit busier. If you go, make sure to visit both observation floors they’re both worth it! And if you happen to go during the day, check out one of the fancy restaurants up there. Just remember, they have a dress code no running shoes or sporty clothes. Dress up a little, like you’re going out on a nice date! Overall, Skytree is a fun and unforgettable experience, especially if you love great views and city lights. 🌃

A must visit landmark in Tokyo! Buying tickets at the self service machines was quick and easy, and the elevator ride up to the observation deck took only seconds. The Tokyo Skytree has two observation levels: the Tembo Deck (350m) and the Tembo Galleria (450m). From the Tembo Deck, you get a breathtaking 360° panoramic view of Tokyo. On clear days, you can even spot Mt. Fuji! Unfortunately, it was rainy and windy during my visit, and I could actually feel the tower swaying a bit, quite an experience! Still, the rainy view of Tokyo, with its neat streets and dense rooftops, had a special charm. The Tembo Galleria features a glass floor section, standing on it and looking down at the tiny buildings below was both thrilling and unforgettable. After coming down, I visited the souvenir shop, as expected, Japan’s packaging design is beautiful and tempting. Hard not to buy something! Right next to the Skytree is Tokyo Solamachi, a large shopping complex with the Sumida Aquarium, restaurants, ice cream shops, Pokémon Center, Kirby Café, and even a children’s play area. Lots to see, eat, and shop, you could easily spend the whole day here!

Tokyo Skytree, Japan’s tallest building at 634 meters, is truly impressive. You can go up to 450 meters with a super-fast elevator, and the view from the top is stunning — on a clear day, you can even see Mount Fuji. There’s also a glass floor area, which could be fun, but with hundreds of people crowded around, you can barely enjoy it. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t really feel worth the long wait — over an hour in line to go up, and almost 40 minutes to get down. Going up was fairly organized, but coming down was total chaos. If I had known in advance how long the waiting would be, I wouldn’t have gone in at all. Also, don’t bother buying your ticket online — those with on-site tickets get in faster because online tickets must be exchanged for paper ones first, which makes no sense.
Györgyi S — Google review
Very disappointing. To start, they give people the opportunity to pre purchase tickets for a certain time and recommend on their website that you do so. To us it didn’t give any advantage as people who didn’t have pre purchased tickets just waltzed in and bought them. Further to this, the amount of tickets sold per time slot is far too high leaving you to queue for 30-45 minutes on the ground floor alone just to get admitted. Secondly, once you’re admitted after (45 minutes) you are packed into an elevator like sardines to a point it’s almost uncomfortable and unhygienic. We understand trying to get people up as fast as possible but this comes back to the underlying issue of selling too many tickets for each time slot. Once you make it to the deck (350m) you’re are greeted by a view of the backs of people’s heads. There isn’t a lot of opportunity to see the attraction you pay to see because of the sheer number of people inside. You may get fleeting glimpses but you have to really fight for a spot at the front to get a decent look at the view. After this we decided to go up to the gallery (450m) which we purchased with our ticket. And guess what… more queues. The queue to go up to the gallery alone took another 15 minutes and once we were up there it was the same story. Over crowded. And then we get to the worst part… to get out you have to stand in a queue yup that’s right, another queue. To get back from the gallery to the deck we waited 25 minutes and then once we were on the deck we queued another 25 minutes to take the elevator down to the bottom. Overall yes… the attraction is cool however the experience is terrible. Once we got to the top the first thing we wanted to do was leave as there was an unpleasant number of people around. If you plan to go here, go during the day. If you enjoy waiting in lines this is the place for you!
Mackenzie R — Google review
I prepurchase tickets to guarantee being able to enter in time for sunset. I would highly recommend doing that. It was pretty crowded but we got a space next to the window and it was well worth the effort. It was beautiful with Mt Fuji being the star. City is so pretty and night.
Frances M — Google review
Such a great place to visit and pay to enter the tallest area. We visited early afternoon and the wait time was only 15 minutes. The staff were friendly, great personality, and well organized. Each section was great, not too crowded. I was able to see Mt. Fuji so that made me excited. Currently there's a Toy Story theme, so great exhibits to see. Many photo ops available. Their souvenir shop was good and had a variety of items. Honestly you should visit one paid observatory and Tokyo Skytree I recommend, plus Asakusa had many sightseeing opportunities. There's a mall connected too, but did have a chance to visit. There's a metro line near there too.
Natasha F — Google review
We visited Tokyo Skytree around 5 PM. The line moved quite fast, which was nice, but once inside it was extremely crowded. It was difficult to fully enjoy the beautiful view or take pictures without waiting for people to move. The upper deck, though higher and promising a better view, was even busier. At one point, we couldn’t move at all, as the queue to go down took up more than half of the space on that floor. Overall, it felt a bit overwhelming despite the stunning views and beautiful tower. Also highly recommend to buy tickets in advance !!

Tokyo Solamachi MISE is a massive retail complex situated at the base of Tokyo Skytree, offering over 300 shops and restaurants. It's not just about fashion; the complex also houses unique stores specializing in goods like salt from different regions of Japan and traditional Tokyo crafts. If you're on the lookout for souvenirs, there's an entire floor dedicated to souvenir shops with character goods, Japanese interior design items, and snacks.
Best place with a good mix of retail and F&B outlets. Any restaurant here serves good food. I find shopping here is better than other malls as it not too large and not too small, just the right amount of relevant brands.There is also a Pokemon Centre. Always come back here each time.

If you are into cute items, the mall has good selection of cafes, sweets and anime products (including Medicom/Medicos action figure). Pokémon center is less busy compared to Ikebukuro, when we went in Oct, there was ongoing oktoberfest. At floor 4 near Jump and Pokémon there is a store selling fresh strawberry and coffee milk which we really like, including Yuzu Powder/Salt which is pretty rare to find.

Sensō-ji, Tokyo's oldest temple, was established in 645 to pay tribute to Kannon, the goddess of mercy. Nestled in the vibrant Asakusa district, this iconic Buddhist site is a must-visit for both locals and travelers. Visitors are drawn to its grand entrance gates—Kaminarimon and Hozomon—and often partake in traditional practices like purifying themselves with incense smoke or seeking their fortunes through omikuji slips.
Visited Senso-ji on a Friday night and it was an amazing experience. It wasn’t too crowded, which made walking around so peaceful and enjoyable. The lanterns were beautifully lit, creating such a nice atmosphere. The whole place had great vibes ... calm, yet full of energy. Definitely worth visiting at night!

Hands down, Sensoji in Asakusa is one of my favorite places in Tokyo! The temple itself is absolutely beautiful, and the whole area around it has such a special atmosphere. You can really feel a mix of tradition and energy as you walk through the gates and down the shopping street leading to the temple. There are tons of amazing little shops and food stands nearby the sweets especially are so good! From traditional Japanese snacks to souvenirs, it’s such a fun place to explore. It can get pretty crowded, especially on weekends, but honestly, even with the crowds, it’s still a gorgeous and peaceful spot to visit. The temple is stunning both during the day and when it’s lit up at night. If you’re visiting Tokyo, Sensoji Temple is a must-see. You’ll fall in love with the charm, culture, and beauty of Asakusa. 🌸

The Asakusa Shrine is truly one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited in Japan. Visiting for two days was already amazing, but staying for two nights made the experience absolutely incredible. The shrine itself is magnificent, full of history and beautifully maintained. What really stood out were the illuminations they were breathtaking, creating a magical atmosphere in the evenings. Walking around the shrine at night felt almost surreal, with the lights highlighting the intricate architecture and the surrounding area. I also loved exploring the nearby streets and stalls, which added to the charm of the visit. For me, this is definitely the number one place to see in Tokyo.

This is a temple truly worth visiting, with grand and exquisite architecture. A street crammed with shops leads to one of its gates, and a commercial district is just a few minutes' walk away. I loved it so much that I returned once more when it was less crowded in the evening. The nighttime atmosphere is even better and more serene, offering a different feel to the night views.

Senso-ji, nestled in the heart of Asakusa, is one of Tokyo’s most iconic and spiritually captivating destinations. As the city’s oldest Buddhist temple, it carries an atmosphere where history, devotion, and traditional Japanese culture blend beautifully with the energy of modern Tokyo. The moment you step out of Asakusa Station and approach the magnificent Kaminarimon Gate, crowned with its immense red lantern, you feel transported into another dimension—one where centuries of prayer and tradition echo in every stone and incense breeze. Walking along Nakamise-dori, the bustling pathway leading to the temple, is an experience on its own. Lined with charming stalls offering souvenirs, handcrafted goods, kimonos, freshly made sweets, and the irresistible smell of senbei rice crackers, it is a joyful and sensory-rich introduction to the temple complex. The vendors and traditional architecture create a nostalgic ambiance that gently immerses you in Japan’s cultural heritage. Once inside the main grounds, the powerful presence of the Hōzōmon Gate and the vivid vermilion temple buildings give way to a deeper, tranquil mood. The main hall invites quiet reflection, where worshippers offer prayers and draw omikuji fortune slips—some tying them carefully to racks for good luck. The air filled with incense smoke, the sound of coins dropping in offering boxes, and the gentle hum of prayer chants create a peaceful rhythm that contrasts beautifully with Tokyo’s fast pace. Senso-ji also boasts a striking five-story pagoda, serene gardens, and smaller shrines to explore, making it a place where time slows down. Whether you are spiritually inclined or simply curious, Senso-ji delivers an unforgettable encounter with Japan’s soul—sacred, welcoming, and layered with centuries of tradition. Visiting at night, when lanterns softly illuminate the temple, adds an extra touch of magic, making Senso-ji truly timeless.

We spent a few hours at Sensoji in Asakusa, and it turned out to be one of our favorite stops in Tokyo. The temple itself is impressive, but what really stood out was the atmosphere around it. The street leading up to the temple is packed with little shops and food stalls. The main temple is both impressive and easy to visit with kids in tow. We washed our hands at the water basin. There were plenty of spots to stop and regroup or grab a photo near the iconic lantern gate.

Walked to Sensō-ji Temple from hozomon senso-jin gate. It was very packed and crowded, but still a great experience. Managed to grab some mochi and ice cream which was delicious. The atmosphere was vibrant and full of energy. Despite the crowds, it was really interesting to see the traditional architecture, shops, and overall vibe of the place. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Tokyo.

Senso-ji, located in Asakusa, Tokyo, is Japan's oldest and most famous Buddhist temple, attracting millions of visitors each year. The temple is dedicated to Kannon, the Goddess of Mercy, and serves as a spiritual hub, cultural landmark, and historical site. Upon entering the temple grounds, you are greeted by the iconic Kaminarimon Gate, adorned with a massive red lantern that sets the stage for the serene yet vibrant atmosphere of Senso-ji. The juxtaposition of traditional architecture against the backdrop of modern Tokyo is striking. The main hall, or Hondo, is beautifully detailed, and the surrounding pagoda adds to the historical charm. Senso-ji is not just a place of worship but also a cultural experience. The Nakamise-dori shopping street leading up to the temple is lined with stalls selling traditional snacks, souvenirs, and craftsmanship. Sampling freshly made melon bread or ningyo-yaki (small cakes filled with red bean paste) is a must. Visitors often participate in the rituals, such as purifying themselves at the water basin and offering prayers at the main hall. The atmosphere is peaceful, allowing for reflection and meditation amidst the bustling crowds. Senso-ji is easily accessible via public transport, with Asakusa Station just a short walk away. Overall, Senso-ji is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Tokyo. Its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant cultural scene create a unique experience that resonates with visitors. Whether you are seeking spiritual solace or a taste of traditional Japanese culture, Senso-ji delivers on all fronts.

Sumida River Walk is a newly accessible pedestrian bridge that connects Asakusa and TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN, making it easier for tourists to visit these iconic Tokyo spots. The bridge features unique elements such as glass flooring and the official mascot Sorakara-chan. Asakusa itself is a major tourist area with attractions like Sensoji Temple, Nakamise Shopping Street, and picturesque spots along the Sumida River.
I recently had the opportunity to visit the Sumida River Walk, and I was thoroughly impressed. This pedestrian bridge is a relatively new addition to Tokyo, and it has quickly become a popular spot for both tourists and locals. The walk itself is quite scenic, offering stunning views of the Sumida River and the surrounding cityscape. The bridge is also well-maintained and clean, making it a pleasant place to stroll.

This river walk is located by the Sumida park and walking over the Sumida river. There’s also a train track beside it. I was glad no trains passing by when I walked. As I was looking for Sakura blossoms along the skytree side and came upon this wonderful river walk. Not a lot of people maybe due to raining. There were a variety of birds flying or chirping around. Very interesting walk and very worthy of checking it out.

Walking along the Sumida River on a sunny autumn morning was an absolute treat. The crisp air, the golden leaves, and the gentle flow of the river made for such a relaxing experience. The contrast between the calm waters and the Tokyo skyline in the background added to the charm. It was the perfect weather for a stroll—cool but refreshing, with the sunlight making the autumn colours pop. Whether it’s for a peaceful walk or just to take in the city from a different perspective, Sumida River in autumn is definitely worth experiencing!

They even have a sumo themed drinks machine in front of the stable.

Easy to find. Had an information centre right inside. This was especially helpful for those travelling to Nikko UNESCO site. Main limited express line to znikko starts here. Other lines from here also. Can be a busy station. Very helpful staff.

I used Tobu Asakusa Station to take the Tobu train to Nikko, and it was a great experience overall. The station is very convenient with plenty of shops, so it’s easy to grab snacks, drinks, or essentials before the journey. One important tip: buy your tickets in advance to secure seats, as trains to Nikko can get fully booked, especially during busy times. The information counter was especially helpful. The staff there provided clear details about train schedules, bus connections in Nikko, and even explained the different bus passes available, which made the trip much smoother. Their friendliness and patience really stood out. On my return, I accidentally left my laptop on the train. The station staff were incredibly kind and helpful in locating it and returning it to me. Thanks to them, what could have been a stressful situation turned into a reminder of how reliable and considerate the people here are. Overall, Tobu Asakusa Station is not only practical and well-equipped but also staffed by wonderful people who go above and beyond to help travelers. Highly recommend using this station for trips to Nikko.

The staff is extrem rude and not helpful at all. 1. It does not explain anywhere that in addition to the train ticket you reserved (the one with your seat number) you have to buy another ticket. 2. We were boarding the train with heavy luggage and were putting it away in the luggage compartment in the front of the train, when a conductor that was outside came in and started yelling “hurry!! Hurry!”. There was no one behind us and there was over 11 minutes for departure. Are you trying to make sure foreigners will not use your services? Are you trying to to make foreigners think Japanese people hate them? If so, you are doing a great job. Also, your tickets are expensive.

Japan has many great train stations with elevators and escalators, but this Tokyo subway station desperately needs to be torn down and rebuilt. Good luck finding the Asakusa (A) subway line - if you go to the main station you might eventually find crazy directions that are impossible to follow (go up the stairs, turn left, cross street, turn right, cross street again etc. - actually the Asakusa (A) subway line entrance is down the road and across the street from Burger King) and will end up carrying luggage up or down numerous sets of staircases. We could not find an elevator or escalator for the Asakusa (A) subway line.

Aquarium
Nature & Parks
Sumida Aquarium, situated on the 5th and 6th floors of Tokyo Solamachi in Tokyo Skytree Town, has gained attention for its unique exhibitions that challenge traditional aquarium concepts. The Tokyo Large Aquarium replicates the Ogasawara Islands' waters, while the Edo-Lium showcases goldfish in a captivating Japanese-style setting. Visitors can also observe jellyfish breeding at Aqualabo.
It is my first time going in an Aquarium so I was hyped. We were already here at 9 am. The staff were very friendly. It was easy to use the ticket if you bought it on Klook. The staff will guide you on how to do it. The place is very pretty. It wasn't crowded because we were early. I really love the jellyfish 🪼. All of other animals like the seal and penguin, it was my first time seeing it in person. I love the vibes of the place. The place is not that large so you will be able to tour the place for about an hour or two hours. Overall, we enjoyed the place.
Mhi_chanphjp — Google review
I visited this aquarium over the weekend with my girlfriend during our trip to Japan. While we truly enjoyed seeing the adorable little penguins and the vibrant goldfish, the overall experience fell short of expectations. The facility itself is quite compact, and the number of exhibits feels limited, especially when considering the relatively high ticket price. In terms of value, it may not offer as much as other aquariums of similar cost. That said, there are a few highlights. The beautifully displayed jellyfish create a calming and visually stunning atmosphere. Additionally, the location is extremely convenient—perfect for those already planning a visit to Tokyo Skytree. A pleasant stop if you’re in the area, but perhaps not a destination worth prioritizing on its own.

Spent a few hours here while waiting to check-in to our hotel and it was a fun time! Place is kind of small compared to other aquariums I've been to... but i think it's still worth it because of the penguins and jellyfishes!! Especially loved the display of the life stage of moon jellies! Gift shop at the exit also has tons of items you can buy as souvenirs!

Visited Sumida Aquarium inside Tokyo Skytree Town on a breezy afternoon, and it felt like stepping into an underwater dream. The place is modern, sleek, and surprisingly peaceful despite being in such a busy spot. What really makes it special is how close you can get to the tanks—no crowded barriers, just glass and glowing blue light wrapping around you. Even if your kids don’t understand Japanese, they’ll love it here—most of the exhibits are visual and interactive, from the elegant jellyfish drifting like slow-motion fireworks to the playful penguins splashing around in their open-air pool. The layout flows beautifully, with soft lighting and gentle music that make you want to linger at every corner. There’s a small café where you can rest with a Skytree view, and the souvenir shop has some of the cutest ocean-themed gifts in Tokyo. It’s not the biggest aquarium, but every detail feels thoughtful and calm—more like an art gallery of sea life. Perfect for families or couples looking for a relaxing, beautifully designed aquarium—especially convenient if you’re already visiting Tokyo Skytree!

Wonderfull place. Many different sea and ocean species. Very good placed Aquarius. Many lovers meet there for a date! You may be not decided but honestly you wont regret if you try it! I even had more fun than at other attractions, or shops there. For me just bullseye!!!
Paweł E — Google review
An aquarium I chose to visit for their jellyfish displays which were quite beautiful and showcased many rare varieties. Overall I would not visit again. The lower ranking is due to the high price of the aquarium combined with the unethical display of their goldfish and the small selection of display. Goldfish require something in their tank to move around and hide behind or they become stressed so I’m curious to know how long theirs live for. They had fewer species of penguin than the other aquariums I’ve visited in Tokyo and the rest of Japan and that seemed to be one of their main attractions. They had an attendant with a small cute stamp of the garden eels and I requested to put it in my book of stamps I’ve collected around Japan. They were stingy and unwilling to allow me to have the attendant use the stamp in my personal book. I decided not to purchase anything in the gift shop because of this clear stinginess though I always like to purchase something to remember aquariums as they are one of my favourite attractions.

Sumida Aquarium is definitely worth the visit. It’s well priced and the animals are super cute and you can tell they are well maintained here. Although the aquarium is kind of small compared to others, it’s got a lot of nice exhibits and being under the Tokyo Skytree makes it convenient to visit both in the same day. The gift shop is decently priced and the gacha are really cool.

If you are at the Skytree location I would recommend to also visit the Sumida Aquarium too. Was a very nice experience. I have seen sea-animals which i havent seen in that way. Especially the jelly fishes where amazing. The price for a single person to enter was 2500 Yen. I stayed in line 20 - 30 minutes. I went there in July on a really hot day (35 °C).

Shinto shrine
Sights & Landmarks

Kameido Tenjin Shrine, located in Koto City, Tokyo, is a traditional Shinto shrine known for its picturesque setting. The shrine features a tranquil pond with spring-blooming wisteria hanging over it and two exquisitely arched bridges. The main temple has an almost samurai helmet-like design and is dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning.
Went in January during bullfinch festival and it was packed. Did not take in the bullfinch festival line that was very long and prevented access to vendors. Despite this I found this shrine and its bridges amazing. Able to walk around space and would love to see this with wisteria either in bloom or just filled out with leaves. Neighborhood is packed with restaurants and cool shops. Even saw one small bloom that I’m pretty sure was a plum blossom. No wait to walk around but I expect at least 90 minutes if getting or returning a bull finch figure.
Kevin C — Google review
A wonderful small shrine complex. The wisteria trellises are the main draw: the flowers were starting to emerge when I visited and smelt beautiful. But there are also other flowers in bloom, you can watch the koi, ducks and turtles swim in the water, and enjoy the tranquility of the garden. The bullfinch charms and wisteria themed charms and ema are very pretty. It's very striking seeing the Skytree in the distance contrasting with the shrine grounds. Unfortunately the main shrine was under maintenance when I visited, but that gives me a reason to visit again sometime! Kameido in general is very nice area that feels like a 'town' and was a nice break from central Asakusa

I was not expecting the beauty of this shrine. I decided to stop in when I saw I had some free time in the area and was absolutely blown away. The bridges, nature, the garden of bonsai trees, and everything else this shrine had to offer cannot be missed. The top of the largest bridge gives you a completely unexpected view of the sky tree as well which was an incredible surprise.
Benjamin K — Google review
It is a good place to visit once.. The shrine is currently undergoing restoration and hence it is not very clearly visible. The lake in the garden are wisteria flowers plants. So if you happen to visit in the right bloom, it’s a good idea. Especially it is in Tokyo and not very far off for Tokyo residents.

You have to come here when the Wisteria is in bloom it is absolutely stunning. The views with the Tokyo sky tree in the background are gorgeous and the wisteria groves loop around a pond filled with carp and turtles. The smell of the flowers is everywhere - and it’s free to enter!

The Shrine is in a really quiet area, just a nice 10-15 minute walk from the station. Didn’t get to see the flowers due to the season we’ve visited but the shrine is still worth visiting. You can also easily walk to Tokyo Skytree from here - it's about 20 minutes, so check the distance on Google Maps.

Sumida River, a significant location in Japanese history and popular culture, is home to the annual Sumida River Fireworks Festival. This event has its roots in the Water God Festival dating back to 1733, originally held to honor those who perished from famine and plague. The river was historically used for transporting goods during the Edo period and remains a popular tourist destination today.
Sitting by the river at night was such a peaceful experience 🌙 The views are breathtaking, especially with the cityscape in the background. It’s the perfect spot for a leisurely walk, or, honestly, any kind of relaxing activity. Whether you're looking to unwind or capture some beautiful photos, the Sumida River is a must-visit.

Day or night, sunny or rainy, the view is gorgeous! We highly recommend allotting two days and two nights to be able to explore the entirety of this very long walkway and see different sights of the cherry blossoms and Tokyo Skytree. Breathing in some fresh air and watching boats pass by while taking a stroll is so relaxing. We would love to come back here. Tip: Lanterns light up from 6:30pm to 9pm. It's worth enduring the cold for the spectacular night scenery.

A short walk from Sensoji temple is another city attraction, the Sumida Park River Gallery a scenic urban oasis along the Sumida River. This place offers both locals and tourists an escape from the city’s busy pace with a mind blowing unique refreshments. The park is renowned for its beautiful cherry blossoms in spring, which transform the riverside walkways into a soft, pink landscape that’s perfect for flower viewing (hanami). Alongside the natural beauty, the park also a river cruise to enjoy the landmarks in a different perspective. This river part features curated art installations and structures, creating a unique blend of nature and urban culture. The "River Gallery" concept allows visitors to engage with art while enjoying the park's serene environment. The views of the Tokyo Skytree are breathtaking, especially at sunset when the city’s lights begin to reflect on the water. Besides its aesthetics, the park has been designed thoughtfully with seating areas, clean pathways, and small open-air cafes, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and social gatherings. Overall, Sumida Park River Gallery is an excellent blend of nature, art, and urban design, offering a peaceful retreat with a cultural edge in the heart of Tokyo. Spare some time here to experience the uniqueness of the japanese way of life

Kitchen supply store
Knife store
Kama-Asa, a renowned store established in 1908, is located in Kappabashi and is famous for its exquisite handcrafted kitchen knives, pans, woks, and steamers. The shop offers an extensive selection of up to 80 different kinds of Japanese knives and Nanbu Tekki ironware. Customers can also find stylish crane-shaped graters and high-quality frying pans. Additionally, the store provides personalized engraving on purchased knives at no extra cost.
Kama-Asa Knife Shops offer a fantastic experience for anyone looking for a quality Japanese chef knife. While in Tokyo, I was on a mission to find the perfect knife based on several recommendations. After exploring a few options, I settled on Kama-Asa because of their friendly and knowledgeable staff. Not being well-versed in knives, I appreciated how the associate took the time to explain the differences between various models and guided me to the one that suited my needs best. They cater to every budget, making it accessible for all. The highlight of my visit was watching my chosen knife get engraved by hand—a perfect, personalized souvenir that made the experience truly memorable. Highly recommended for both novices and enthusiasts alike!

Best place to get your knife. Good thing is that they have lots of staff who could speak English. Showed plenty of knifes used for certain purposes and described the uses for each blade. Took in account for my needs and recommended many variants of the ones I needed. They will engrave your blade for the purchase of the knifes for free. Only takes them less the 10 mins to fo couple blades. Will definitely come back there again to get something more. Only down side they did not sell the auto blade sharpeners I wanted.

Stopped by the famous Kama-Asa on Kappabashi Street and ended up bringing home a blue steel pan that I’m already obsessed with. The shop has this calm, professional vibe, everything feels intentional, well-crafted, and built to last. The owner was incredibly kind. She took the time to explain how to care for the pan properly and even gave me her business card in case I had questions later. That small gesture made the whole experience feel so personal and warm.

Shopping for a Santoku knife at Kappabashi Street is a pilgrimage every home cook or professional chef should make when in Tokyo. Nestled between Ueno and Asakusa, this street—often dubbed “Kitchen Town”—is a paradise for culinary enthusiasts, lined with specialty stores selling everything from lacquered bento boxes to plastic food replicas and artisanal ceramics. But the real magic lies in the knife shops. Wandering into a knife store like Kama Asa, Kamata or Tsubaya is like stepping into a temple of steel, where generations of craftsmanship come to life. Rows upon rows of gleaming blades glint under soft lighting, each one honed to perfection. The Santoku—Japan’s all-purpose kitchen knife—is a particular standout. Its name means “three virtues,” referring to its mastery of slicing, dicing, and mincing. Decided on the V5 Damascus stainless shell Santoku knife from Tsubame, a refined blend of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern steel technology. Crafted in Tsubame City—famed for its precision metalwork—the knife features a V5 stainless steel core for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy upkeep. The outer Damascus shell, formed by layering multiple steels, creates a striking wave-like pattern that enhances both beauty and durability Choosing one is an experience in itself. Shopkeepers will let you feel the balance of the blade, explain the steel’s origin, and may even offer to engrave your name in kanji. You leave not just with a tool, but with a slice of Japanese culture—sharp, elegant, and deeply personal. There’s a quiet reverence in these shops, where passion meets precision, and shopping becomes a moment of connection between tradition and the modern kitchen.

It’s a great spot to pick up something memorable from Tokyo. We tried a strawberry mochi for the first time so soft and delicious!

Nakamise Shopping Street is a busy, colorful mix of traditional charm and commercial energy. Walking through, it’s easy to get swept up in the crowds, especially during a heatwave like the one I experienced—it can get quite uncomfortable. As a group, we bought some souvenirs, but quickly realized that better or cheaper options were just a few meters away, so a bit of patience pays off. The street is lively and vibrant, with plenty to see, but the highlight is at the end: a beautiful shrine that reminds you to be respectful and mindful of local customs. Overall, it’s worth visiting for the atmosphere and sights, but go prepared for crowds, heat, and careful shopping. Tip: Bring water, go early to avoid the peak sun, and take time to enjoy the shrine at the end.

Postal Museum Japan is situated on the 9th floor of Solamachi in Tokyo Skytree Town. It's a unique museum dedicated to postal services, showcasing around 400 items, including an impressive collection of 330,000 types of stamps and various materials - the largest assortment in Japan. The museum features different zones, including a permanent exhibition area that presents the history of postal service through seven sections.
Great place! The entrance fee is 300¥ per adult, and you can see it in about an hour. The staff speaks English and there are multiple language audio guides and an English app. You can see the history of the post office with real objects of every era. There are three spaces kids friendly, and a commemorative corner where you can wear a Meiji Era postman costume. The gift shop it's small but plenty of souvenirs and stamps with your year of birth. You can also send a postcard and receive a special edition seal.

A small but interactive museum that perfectly portrays the postal service’s history in Japan. Most descriptions are in Japanese, but each area has an introduction in English, too. It’s a fun place as there are games available for children (in Japanese). Currently there’s an interactive physical exercise challenge and a post card printing machine. The museum has a gigantic collection of stamps from all around the world. Entry fee: JPY 300 for adults

We went there a bit too late so we had only 45 mins to enjoy it. There are many interactive games. Make sure you have a postcard and stamp so you can send it from the postbox because they don’t sell them there.

Great collection of stamps across various countries including some special edition Japanese stamps, available for viewing. Lovely experience. However, this is not the place if you’re looking to buy stamps or postcards, head to the philatelic museum instead!

I have never wanted to be Japanese so much until I went to this museum. For some additional payment you can participate in some quiz activity, having you run around the museum answering together with other Japanese people on the Line app. Fun for just 300 yen. -They even gave 5 used japanese stamps as a gacha. - customized post card with your face

Housed in the Skytree Solamachi (9th floor). Interesting museum with many hands on exhibits. Photography is permitted in some parts of the exhibits. A large stamp collection (photography is prohibited in this section) of Japanese and world stamps. A great gift shop with stamps and postcards (featuring symbols of various prefectures. I am adding a photo of my paternal grandmother, Edna Fox Crouch, who taught a a Christian women's college in Kobe in 1961, next to a Japanese post box.

Shrimps and asparagus in a lemon creamy sauce with spaghetti was delicious as was the crepes ( cooked to perfection) with strawberries and cream washed down with a super dry Asahi. Maitre de at the door understood my English and I ordered on the App. I didn’t have long to wait and dishes were cleared away as soon as I was finished. Place is busy with couples, friends and families as it’s Sunday afternoon but everyone seems happy. Nice music playing and there’s a selection of reading material near the entrance. There are plastic bins under the table for you to put your bags or shopping in.

🍝 My order: Lunch menu Teriyaki Chicken Pizza plus all you like bread, drinks, curry rice and salad 1680¥ ----- Food 4/5 The pizza was excellent with thick dough and delicious seasoning. However, I would have liked a little more meat on the pizza. I also loved the buffet idea and an interesting selection of salads that I did not know like that from Austria. The salads were very tasty and I can definitely recommend trying this lunch menu! The food was also very speedily prepared and of course the all you can eat buffets will shorten the wait even further especially if you are very hungry 😉 You will find a variety of drinks to choose from, starting with iced coffee or tea to hot versions of the same, over to fruit juices, you will not want for anything! Atmosphere 4/5 Modern and functional, it gives an energetic vibe and being right next to the river you can also enjoy the river whilst eating though you will be wanting for excessive greenery as everything but the river is mostly concrete. Cleanliness 5/5 No complaints, everything was very clean. Service 4/5 Speedy and polite, but interaction was limited to a minimum through every order being done digitally. Has a modern vibe, yes but also means barely any human interaction, which I prefer.

The clothing store Fujiya is one of the most crowded places in Asakusa, but it offers a wide range of beautiful items in different vibrant colors that change with the seasons. These finely crafted and original pieces make for a unique and special gift.
We visited this shop selling original designs of Tenugui fabric in Asakusa. We bought a few pieces and the wooden frames. The frames were nicely packed for us to take with us on the plane (needed to be checked in). We framed them up by ourselves by following the YouTube videos prepared by the shop. We also bought a couple of sling bags. Truly beautiful.

(Translated by Google) Visited in June 2023 I had been thinking of going there for a while because a friend of mine works there, but I stopped by while I was in Asakusa attending to a foreign customer. Unlike souvenir items, these towels are of high quality. I think it's the best souvenir for foreigners, as there are many items with Japanese designs. I think it will be especially useful in hot and humid countries like Southeast Asia. (Original) 2023年6月に訪問 以前から友人が働いているので行こうと思っていたのですが、外国人のお客様のアテンドで浅草に行ったついでに寄ってみました。 お土産の為の品物と違い、品質の良い手拭いです。日本的なデザインの物も多く揃えられているので、外国人向けのお土産として最低だと思います。 東南アジアのような蒸し暑い国では特に重宝されると思います。

It's an ideal place to go shopping with friends and family, as there's truly something for everyone, whether you're looking for a special gift or just want to grab a bite.

Visiting Tokyo Skytree was an unforgettable experience! The tower is incredibly tall and offers breathtaking panoramic views of Tokyo — especially at sunset when the whole city lights up. The observation decks are spacious and well-designed, with interactive screens that help you identify famous landmarks. There are also plenty of shops, cafés, and restaurants inside the Skytree complex, making it a perfect place to spend a few hours. I especially loved the souvenir stores and the aquarium nearby. It’s a must-visit attraction in Tokyo for anyone who loves city views, photography, or simply wants to experience the beauty of Tokyo from above. Highly recommended!

Amazing place to have a view of Tokyo's landscape, really high. We didn't buy the tickets in advance so we made a little search using Klook and Agoda and we made it and got the tickets for the first hour entrance and paying with discount. You MUST have to reach the line by time to go up, there's no chance to be late. At that day, there was a Toy Story Short Exhibition, pretty fun.

This is a place you must visit if you are in Tokyo. With a visit to this tower you will get the most magical view in the city. It is best to get tickets for both platforms. It is also good to arrive about half an hour early. While you print the tickets at the machines and get to the elevator, it takes a while. It is also best to buy a ticket (in October) for a time around 4 pm. You will have a day and night view of the city and the sunset and the view of Fuji is priceless🤩

For my trip to Tokyo, I stayed near the Oshiage Skytree Station. It was the best choice so far! It's a lively but quiet district, well-served by public transport (Toei Metro, Tokyo Metro, and JR) and never too crowded. There are lots of restaurants and a beautiful view of the Tokyo Skytree and Sumida Bridge. It's also close to Senso-ji and Asakusa. I think it's one of the best places to stay while visiting Tokyo.

It's home to Niimi, the oldest shop in the area with a distinctive chef statue on its roof. This street is a haven for retailers and wholesale shoppers looking for restaurant poster materials, fake food displays, earthenware, and cutlery. The earthenware here is both exquisite and reasonably priced.
Here to get some kitchen tools and knives. Walk all the lanes behind the main street in this area to find surprising buys. Not many tourist here. Chefs will know this area well when visiting nearby.

This is a street for retailers and wholesale shoppers. It sells items from Restaurant Poster Materials, to Fake Cuisine decors, to earthen-ware and cutlery. The earthenware is some of the finest and reasonably priced you would find in Japan. We were looking for a set of 6 earthen glasses and the first shop on the street had some amazing items priced at about 860+ ¥ per piece. As we walked into the street we got more choices and a more reasonable range. We found shops selling similar glasses at 270¥ per piece as well. Then you can find the TDI branded shop for a complete range of kitchen-ware including rice cookers etc. In the fake food item’s shop you can find interesting Sushi themed wall clocks. I definitely recommend an hour worth of exploration on this street.

Some shops are expensive but others are astonishingly affordable for how beautiful and well-made their products are.

What a good idea to use the space under the train tracks for a shopping gallery - but this is not an ordinary gallery selling cheap stuff from China. These are local shops selling handmade and artisanal goods, all made in Japan: leather bags and wallets, shoes, pottery, decoration items, clothes etc. Of course it comes with a price, but what you get is Japanese quality and craftsmanship. Two shops that caught my attention: Spingle Move (that has some unique sneakers) and Blue Trick (Japanese denim clothes from Okayama). Great way to support the local artisans and in return get an authentic good Made in Japan.

I read about this Artisan shopping center and was so glad I came. It's a beautiful (and surprisingly peaceful) spot with really cool goods and neat cafes. We didn't get to make it to Cafe Asan (requires reservations) but still enjoyed meandering around the shops. A true oasis in the fluorescence of Akihabara. Great for high end, handmade, specialty goods.

While there are some nice handmade stores, there was one store that used AI art and printed it onto canvas and made it into bags. AI cat art, for a place that is filled with creative artists. How terrible.

Situated literally under the train tracks, nice collection of shops filled with hand-made goods, great for browsing on a rainy Sunday. Lovely reuse of the space, suggest more eateries to stop in. The paint store was especially intriguing.

Nature & Parks
Sarue Park, also known as Sarue Onshi Park, is a sprawling metropolitan park that dates back to 1932. It was built on the grounds of a former lumberyard from the Edo period and is divided into north and south sections by Shin-Ohashi-dori Avenue. The northern section features a central plaza with a clock tower, perfect for family picnics and cherry blossom viewing during spring. The southern area offers ponds, baseball fields, and ample space for relaxation.
Nice park for family picnic, walking, jogging, playing tennis 🎾. Cafe is available inside park too. In the spring season flowers are really beautiful here. On the other side of road, there is Japanese garden & small pond. At night Skytree view is mesmerizing.

There is a sign at the entrance of the park that tells the history of its construction. What the sign does not say is that this was one of the parks where the bodies of civilians burned by American bombs were piled up during the Tokyo air raid in 1945. According to statistics, there were about 10,000 bodies piled up here. However, it seems that this history has been forgotten in this park.

Origami Kaikan in Tokyo is a hub for origami enthusiasts, offering exhibitions, workshops, and a shop dedicated to the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. Visitors can explore the history and techniques of origami, participate in hands-on activities, and purchase instructional books and origami paper packages. The facility also features a gallery showcasing intricate origami creations and offers insight into the process of dying washi paper.
This was a really fun stop for us! We got to meet the master himself, and he showed us some quick origami, which he could do without even looking. We bought one of his books, which he autographed. The prices are affordable, and we were showered with free origami gifts for coming. A word of warning - none of the employees here spoke English much, if at all, so be prepared for that. I would highly recommend this though!

Extremely cute little shop and museum concerning the art of paper production and folding. Not only does it include many little origami creatures, but currently there is also an exhibition of the work of Carlo Vives I Torella. He invented new techniques and put his emphasis on designing greeting cards that you can marvel out and also open in this museum. You may even take part in a course which is only 1100yen. Definitely worth a visit if you are around the corner and want to experience this traditional Japanese art.

We got lucky enough to be there when the owner (and his wife, I believe) were doing a demonstration. He happily walked us through some "paper magic", played and bequeathed many small origami gifts. Hard not to come away humbled by the kindness and good spirit. The museum and gift shop both have some beautiful origami, plus an amazing paper dying factory on the top floor. Cool to see all that's possible with paper and dye, it looks more like a fixable fabric than paper the way it's used there.

Nihombashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, the flagship branch of Mitsukoshi in Nihombashi, is a historic landmark dating back to 1673 and is considered Japan's oldest department store. The complex consists of two buildings and features a wide array of high-end and luxury brands. Notably, the main building was designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan in 2016 due to its remarkable architecture.
Wow! Amazing! This is truly a classy, timeless, historic department store. Two lions greet you as you enter, an opening speech is given during opening, the staff bows as you meander through the aisles. Suddenly you are greeted by a large wooden statue, where fossils can be found on the stone walls. The top floor has a pond, shrine, garden, and patio area to eat. You can but a fancy bento box and enjoy it there. This department store blows Macy’s out of the water. Correction. This is not a department store, but a timeless shopping experience. Make sure to arrive when the department store opens so you can get the full experience. Don’t miss out.

We spent couple of hours here. The basement food shops were wonderful. The floor luxury items - like Hermes, and cosmetic, which the wife bought quite a few, much to my dismay when i check on my credit card... We were surprise to see a daycare place near the tax center when we took our receipts for tax free works. The top floor was an open garden with Bonsais and a food place (it was being work on for an event so we couldn't dine there), and there was a shrine up there.) Remember to rub the lion's paws, at the entrance, for good luck!

Nohombashi Mitsukoshi means high-end fashion. Here's where Etro, Jimmy Choo, Prada, LVMH, Tiffany, and Hermés glow. With the dollar so devalued (from a year ago), there are no more bargains. Even in these stores prices have increased. But the sales aren't bad, if they even have it. Curently, the Gengen Sato "Celestial Maiden" [Magokoro] statue in the center of the department store is exceptional in its beauty, craftsmanship, and scale! It towers over shopping to amaze; maybe even to distract. It fits in this opulent department store like a fine-cut diamond.

What a beautiful and memorable experience at this historic Japanese department store! 🇯🇵✨ I came here specifically to purchase Edo Kiriko glasses, and ended up enjoying every corner of the store. The atmosphere is elegant and refined, and the service was absolutely exceptional at every department I visited: 💍 Ground Floor Jewellery Section – I had fun trying on some adorable pieces, and the staff were kind and patient. 🏠 Home Section – I found the perfect Edo Kiriko glasses. The lady who assisted me was incredibly helpful—she not only offered guidance on the pieces but even helped me download the Mitsukoshi app for extra benefits! The glasses were wrapped beautifully and securely, truly elevating the experience. 🍱 Food Hall – Amazing service! The team was very considerate and even helped rearrange my shopping bags so I could carry everything more easily on my own. 🚖 Taxi Service – Even the staff assisting with taxis were attentive, helping with all my bags and ensuring a smooth departure. This store truly showcases the best of traditional Japanese hospitality, all while offering a curated, high-quality shopping experience. Highly recommended whether you’re shopping for gifts, fashion, or simply enjoying top-tier service in a classic setting. 🛍️🗼🎁

When visiting Asakusa, this is one of the shopping streets to explore. But my visit here was just before the Covid19 pandemic and according to some Japanese friends there, many of the businesses have shuttered down. I feel sad for them. One of them is Naritaya, a Halal Japanese Restaurant, serving Muslims from Malaysia and around the world. Overall, there are quite a few interesting shops to discover in this street, one of them being a Ninja Shop! Or a traditional Japanese weapons shop, where they sell all kind of Japanese weapons. Others include ice cream, cakes and several small restaurants and clothes shops. Well worth the walk when you visit Senso-ji Temple. Also, don't be surprised to see loads of tourists in Kimono and Yukata walking around. You can actually rent them for the day and go take lots of photos around here.

There are a lot of "shopping streets" /markets in Japan - a tip is to take in some that are a little off the beaten path because you will see fewer crowd - this shopping street in Asakusa is an example.

The restaurant specializes in grilling okonomiyaki to perfection, drawing many returning customers who can't get enough of their dishes. Additionally, the store doubles as a museum, offering an immersive experience for visitors interested in Japanese swords and replicas. The staff is known for being accommodating and knowledgeable about airport procedures when purchasing items to take home.
I wish I could have afforded one of the many authentic swords or knives on offer at this wonderful establishment; just a bit out of my price range, but the staff was very helpful and accommodating even though I stopped in just before closing. The quality of the inventory is only matched by their friendliness and knowledgeability. If you’re looking for a real Samurai sword, or quality replica, you won’t be disappointed.

I visited this shop on my short holiday in Japan not long ago and it was an amazing experience. I stayed at Dai-ichi hotel nearby so it was only a short 15 minute walk. I never knew it would take about a month for government's approval paperwork for export on antique & authentic swords so I decided to buy a replica tanto for my dad instead. Owners were very polite, friendly and speak good English. Shop is located within a very nice part of the city, I would strongly recommend people paying a visit. Would definitely come back for a second round on my next visit and hopefully I can secure myself a piece of history.

Fantastic shop and very professional, knowledgeable, and respectful owners. I was in Tokyo on business and stopped by to see if there were any antique katana for sale. I ended up purchasing a beautiful wakizashi made around 1860. The owner answered all of my questions (in English!) and ended up packaging and shipping the sword for me back to the USA. It arrived only about 2 months later, perfectly packaged. This was extremely fast considering Japanese law requires the government to approve of the sword leaving Japan, and then U.S. customs has their own process. Reviewers leaving “1 star” for long lead times are misinformed. Also, reviewers complaining about prices also are uninformed - these are antique, authentic artifacts that are museum worthy. Go here if you are looking for a one of a kind piece of art, go to Tokyu Hands if you are looking for a souvenir. I am so honored to have this artifact in my home and plan to pass it down for generations. I would recommend this business to anyone and plan to visit again next time I’m in Tokyo.

A simply lovely experience of gracious Japanese customer service. Now in regard of the negative posters! These business owners are a retailer - not the customs office or the shipping service company. It would be deemed that anyone who decides to buy - As the store does actually give advice for a purchase and it looks like they may start the shipping process for the customer - But this shop is not a customs office or Japanese duty or government manageing export regulations. They don,t create the governments import export bylaws. Please, this place deserves respect - any one who decides to buy should be willing to "do some math" - "do the home work"

I went here at the end of May while on vacation in Tokyo to purchase a replica katana as a gift. The staff were so kind and extremely knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the history and types of swords and showing us all the options. All of the replicas were so beautiful and made in Japan. After I purchased one, they were able to easily ship it back to the United States, checking in with me and tracking the shipment through the whole process to make sure it arrived safely. It was beautifully packaged to protect it and arrived quickly and with no incident! I can’t recommend this place enough if you are looking for a well crafted, authentic replica sword. The showroom is really amazing— I wish we’d had more time to look at everything there! — and the people were wonderful and made the whole shopping experience so nice. You can tell they really care about what they do. If you’re going to be in Tokyo, definitely stop by this place!!

If you are into swords or samurai genre this is the place to go in Tokyo. Staff are very knowledgable for everything they sell and speak very good English. They have a good selection of replicas and will pack everything so you can check the box at the airport. Their selection of modern and old swords is amazing as well. If you want to purchase a true authentic katana you must wait 2 weeks for the Japanese government paperwork. They ship USPS or FedEx for shipments destined to the USA.

So nice and kind when they showed us the different kinds of swords. And so helpful. It ended up with us buying a replica. Thanks again 🙏

The best place to purchase and invest in a Japanese work of art. The sword selection was nice and the education provided was even better. I highly recommend.

Business park
Market
Kappabashi Dougu Street is a renowned shopping destination, particularly for restaurant owners and food enthusiasts. Situated near Tawaramachi Station on the Ginza Subway line, it offers an array of kitchen equipment, cookware, knives, furniture, and even lifelike plastic food samples commonly seen in restaurant displays. This district is distinctively dedicated to culinary-related items that make for unique gifts or souvenirs.
You gotta go to this street if you have a passion for cooking at all, or even if you just need kitchenware. This area has it all with tons of specialty stores for different types of kitchenware. Knife shops are the main attraction here. The knives sold here are stunning and very high quality, forged by hand from a Japanese Craftsman. Lots of good food nearby as well.

There was no shortage of kitchen places to shop with every item you can think of, and all price levels on offer. Some shops were well laid out and fancy, while others were like a hoarders' house that you had to dig through to find the treasures. It's a great mix. I got a knife and highly recommend doing some research before to narrow down your options in make and style as it can be overwhelming with choice and price. I wandered for hours. If you love your cooking equipment, you'll enjoy it. If you're a tag along, then maybe not so much!

Awesome place for home, kitchen tools, knick-knacks and even work uniform. This week, they have a festival happening and it's a great time to go for the sales. Leave your big bags at home, it's a tight squeeze inside the shops.

Totally obsessed with Kappabashi Street. Every corner has something fun to look at. All shelves full of ceramics, endless kitchen tools, baking moulds, chopstick holders, food displays, everything you didn’t know you needed. I kept thinking I’d only browse for a bit, but I ended up wandering from shop to shop because there’s just so much variety and every store feels different. It’s the kind of place where you lose track of time without even realizing it. Honestly one of my favourite stops this trip, and I’d come back again in a heartbeat

fun place for anyone who loves cooking. You’ll find shops selling kitchen tools, food models, and pro japan knives. It’s a cool mix of tradition and creativity, great for both chefs and tourists.

Kappabashi Kitchen Street – A Hidden Treasure for Culinary Enthusiasts If you love to cook or appreciate good craftsmanship, Kappabashi Kitchen Street in Tokyo is an absolute must-visit. This stretch between Asakusa and Ueno is home to over 170 specialty shops, all dedicated to kitchenware. Whether you’re after professional-grade Japanese knives, beautifully glazed ceramics, or quirky plastic food models, you’ll find everything here in one long, fascinating walk. Prices are far more reasonable than what you’d pay at retail stores back home. Many items are sold directly by the manufacturers, so you’re cutting out the middleman and getting authentic, high-quality goods straight from the source. It’s a practical stop for anyone stocking up on essentials, as well as a fun place to browse if you’re just curious. We spent over an hour wandering from shop to shop and still felt like we barely scratched the surface. You’ll see knife shops offering custom engraving, stores selling restaurant signage, lacquerware, baking tools, and more. It’s a great blend of tradition and utility. Kappabashi has been Tokyo’s “kitchen town” since the 1920s, and its legacy continues strong. Whether you’re a chef, home cook, or just a foodie, this place is a dream come true. Bring a bit of extra luggage space—you’ll need it.

Great street to walk by, especially for your kitchen. They sell every possible thing that you would need. From pots and pans to very sharp and beautiful knives. I got a set and the hospitality is very nice to from many trying to sell you things. The building having cool designs such as teacups and a big chef was pretty awesome too. Walking there was very nice

Shopping mall
Asakusa ROX is the largest shopping mall in Asakusa, conveniently located just a short walk from Sensoji Temple. It comprises four buildings offering a wide range of shops selling clothing, daily essentials, home goods, accessories, and more. Popular chains like Uniqlo and Daiso have outlets here. Additionally, visitors can enjoy an onsen with various pools for relaxation after a day of shopping.
As always, it's still the best in town. Better than staying at a business hotel if you need a night's rest with a good in house restaurant, massage, hot spring facilities, and a couple of tanning machine among other things. (MATSURI-ya) Just come and visit if you're in the area. For the rest, the shopping mall has pretty much everything, café, grocery located in basement 1, clothing, house wares, hats, shoes..

Asakusa ROX is a convenient shopping complex offering a wide range of affordable and good-quality products. It’s not fancy but perfect for everyday shopping, with stores like Daiso, Uniqlo, and Seiyu supermarket providing great value. You can find clothing, cosmetics and souvenirs.The building is slightly old, but everything is well-maintained, and the prices are reasonable. It’s a good place to shop if you’re looking for useful items or gifts without breaking the bank.

Nice little mall hosts many popular stores. Surrounded by Cafe, bubble tea shop and restaurants. Very conveniently located near 浅草寺 , top tourist attraction. However, it fulfills your shopping needs for everday items-clothing, groceries. Not a new building or fancy by any standards, but very practical for both tourists and locals.
Solo T — Google review
Really no complaints here after our visit to ROX (large shopping mall). We stumbled upon here one night walking back to our hotel for the night and enjoyed exploring each floor. There is quite a bit of variety between each shop and there is something for everyone. The music they played was catchy and the mall interior was pretty clean as well. They have a small Daiso store on one of the upper floors which is always a treat to shop at anywhere in Japan. One cool thing we saw was a fresh orange juice vending machine which was the first one we saw on our trip! There are some good souvenir food options here too. Overall, we definitely enjoyed our time walking around ROX and would definitely go again if given the chance!

Honestly, it’s pretty good vending machines a big selection of like produce grocery stores pharmacies clothes. It’s about four stories fourth floor was pretty good. I spent a couple hours in here liked it. prices were pretty fair and all around good is only 30 minute walk from the residential neighborhood so a huge plus in my boat overall highly recommend

A very bad place to park your car. They locked up my car because we thought they were going to close at 10pm. They didn’t change their operating hours here in Google Maps. Also don’t get trapped for that ¥750 overnight parking. If you parked your car on the 5th floor then you can definitely get that price. We payed around ¥6100 because we parked on the 3rd floor overnight. 😡😡😡😡

We took a train ride from sky tree to reach here for more shopping option at more affordable price. There is a huge muji store at level 1 direct access from the train station. Food court was also available but only a few stores which is pretty standard in Japan. Price was right and pocket friendly. There is also a Ginza bakery available beside the foodcourt. Love the supermarket at the basement and it is managed by the 7-11 group. They offer 7-11 premium product and most of them tasted great! price was also much cheaper than another supermarket located at sky tree. They do offer apparel and shoes at level 2. Tax-free for tourist is also available.

Visited Loft Tokyo Solamachi with Kie and Ryuichi, which is located in East Yard of Tokyo Skytree Town. Loft is known internationally as a lifestyle chain store originated in japan, can also be found in hong kong and bangkok, this one in Tokyo Solamachi is a bit compact and seems smaller but well organized in its vast display of various lifestyle products systematically in specific sections and store’s corners, and easy to find, which include stationery, personal care, cosmetic and beauty products, and craft, sundries supplies, some of its product maybe priced a little bit on the high side but actually value for money in view of the products quality, uniqueness and cute design or aesthetic appeal, souvenirs here included some  Tokyo Skytree related products and other more general gift items, we bought some ball pens for ourselves and our dearest Ema who was too busy to join us in this japan trip

Great selection of stickers & greeting cards; large drug store brand make-up section; some cute gifts-- not a destination on its own since it's much smaller than other Loft locations, but worth a walk through if you're already shopping at the Skytree.

The service in this store is very bad. The workers were rude and replied very dryly when I asked questions. And they put all 40 items we bought in one bag and stuffed them in. And when the bag broke before we left the counter, I asked him to replace the bag, then he rudely threw at me another bag. It was very disrespectful.
