Nakamise Market

What we love…

  • While visiting the Sensoji Temple this 200 meter long market is just the place to stock up on Japanese crafts and souvenirs.
  • You'll find sensu fans, vintage kimonos, crafting beads, traditional kitsune and kanji masks for purchase, along with local street foods for sampling. 
  • This market has been around for centuries and use to be frequented by locals, although now it mostly caters to people visiting the temple so it can get a bit touristy.
