Exquisite Selections in Asakusa from a Modern Perspective

Standing directly opposite the iconic Kaminarimon Gate, the Asakusa Culture and Tourism Center, designed by renowned architect Kengo Kuma, boasts a striking wooden structure that contrasts sharply with the traditional surroundings. From the observation deck on the top floor, visitors can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Skytree and the rooftops of Senso-ji Temple intertwined, offering a truly refreshing experience. While primarily a tourist hub, the first floor houses a curated souvenir corner, a hidden gem for purchasing high-quality Tokyo mementos. Unlike typical mass-produced tourist items, this spot focuses on handcrafted and locally designed goods. Highlights include Kaminarimon-themed folding fans made from traditional Japanese washi paper, petite wind chime ornaments, and Edo Kiriko glassware crafted by skilled artisans, each piece reflecting the spirit of craftsmanship and local flavor. Travelers can also find design-inspired items such as Skytree-themed magnets and original notebooks, allowing them to take home the most tasteful souvenirs steeped in artistic charm.
