Nakamise-dōri

仲見世通り

Asakusa, Tokyo · 東京

The approach to Sensō-ji, lined with stalls selling rice crackers, folding fans and ningyō-yaki cooked in front of you. Some of these families have held their pitch for generations.

Why it’s worth it

Eat the ningyō-yaki warm, in the street, the way it is meant to be. Do not carry food into the temple grounds — it is considered rude, and the signs are easy to miss.
