Asakusa Shopping District and Nakamise Shopping Street

A few trips to Tokyo and a group of people almost turned it around, extending from the Nakamise shopping street to the outer commercial district. Some people may think that the goods sold here are "sold to tourists", but as long as there are places where foreign tourists go, which one Isn't it a tourist business?Most of the periphery of Asakusa’s business district is dominated by daily groceries, and many of the consumers are mainly Japanese residents, supplemented by various snacks, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. We walked from the restaurant to the shopping street and dug some treasures. It is recommended as follows.

‧Asakusa Fujiyama
– Highlights: Since its opening in 2014, this shop is mainly original products, with various accessories, clothing, etc., but the design products around Mount Fuji most attract our attention.
