Asakusa Shopping

Souvenirs – Asakusa is definitely the best place for buying Japanese souvenirs. Here you can find beautiful sets foe sake and tee, fans, chopsticks, swords, kimono and many more. The prices are chip to medium. A sake or tee set or fan may cost around 1000-1500 Yen, kimono price will defere depending on the fabric of you choice and swords will start at about 10000 Yen.

Japanese cookies – Nakamise street is a heaven for tourist how wants to try all the traditional sweets Japan has to offer. Here you can find many types of rice crackers and Japanese cookies, that are baked just in front of your eyes, but they are sold sometimes in 20 pieces package that may be a bit to much for those of you who want to taste it all, if that is the case you can find here is a set of cookies that contains many types of Japanese sweets, but these sets you can usually find in the supermarkets and for half of the price you will pay in Asakusa. I would recommend the freshly baked sweets – they taste better and they are much more special.

Cloths and Shoes – if you tern to the streets on the left site of Nakamise street you will find here many cloths and shoes shops with pretty good prices. But let me worn you if you have a 39 shoe size for women or 43 shoe size for men (7 US size for women and 9 US size for men) you will be probably disappointed.
