The street has several stores specialized in kitchen knives; since they have a full lineup of the products, you will have the best chance to find some which you are genuinely looking for.

15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThis street leads to Sensoji temple. You may be surprised by its friendly and welcoming atmosphere walking on it if you had imagined solemn and stately religious facilities. The street features not just shops but "history tablets," which recounts Asakusa's history with beautiful pictures.Hozomon
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeHozomon ("Treasure-House Gate") is the inner of two large entrance gates that ultimately leads to the Sensoji (the outer being the Kaminarimon). A two-story gate, the Hozomon's second story houses many of the Sensoji's treasures. The first story houses two statues, three lanterns and two large sandals.Senso-ji Temple
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeIt is Tokyo's oldest temple, and one of its most significant. Adjacent to the temple is a five-story pagoda, which holds Buddha's ashes given by Sri Lanka government and Buddhist society for goodwill between Sri Lanka and Japan in its top floor. You can participate in centuries-old rituals at the Temple and the Asakusa Shrine and see what the fates have in store for you with Sensoji’s infamous paper fortunes.Asakusa Shrine
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThis is a shrine of Shinto, Japan's indigenous religion sitting just next to Senshoji temple. Coexistence of two distinct religions in the same premises may be unfathomable. The guide will unlock the mystery from a historical standpoint.Sensō-ji Denboin Garden
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeAfter the magnificence of Sensoji, we'll escape into the Rokku area: Asakusa's traditional entertainment district, always bustling yet rarely busy. Walk through the Meiji period into the present day (with stops along the way for more Japanese sweet snacks). Once a district of endless novelty — movies, comedians and exotic animals — Rokku passed through its glory days to become a quaint neighborhood of handicrafts and nostalgia. Through vivid descriptions of its complex, colorful history, you'll even see sights that aren't there to see anymore! Packed with cosy bars, eateries, and snack stands, as well as boutique shops for traditionally crafted goods of all kinds, the narrow, winding and wandering streets of Rokku will lead you through the other Asakusa experience.Kappabashi Street (Kappabashi Dogugai)
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeWe will take you to the Kappabashi Street adjacent to Asakusa, a shopping street lined with dozens of strores selling everything including kitchen knives needed by restaurant operators.
