If you like to get in depth with Japanese culture, rent a kimono and stroll around the town of Asakusa. There’s even rickshaw available for a nice breezy ride!

Sugamo Jizo Dori (巣鴨地蔵通り)

Sugamo Jizo Dori is known as a town of elderly and this is actually true. If you step your foot in the street, there are many elderly people enjoying shopping. However, it doesn’t mean that it’s not for the young people. There are many restaurants that offer cheap but delicious set meal.
