A street or area lined with many shops is called a “shopping district.”
There are many shopping streets in Tokyo that retain the atmosphere of a downtown area.
In addition to gourmet sightseeing, you can also enjoy just walking.
A shopping street full of the charm of good old Japan.
We will guide you to shopping streets recommended by hotel staff.
ASAKUSA AREA
2024.06.27
TOKYO KIMONO SHOES
Made by Asakusa shoemakers, "TOKYO KIMONO SHOES" is the world's only pure domestic kimono sneaker that fuses kimono and genuine leather. The charm is that the pattern comes out differently depending on the cutting part of the kimono. While avoiding fast fashion and making shoes that can be used for a long time, we solve the problem of kimono waste by upcycling discarded high-end silk kimonos. A 2-minute walk from TOKYO KIMONO SHOES is also the second store called KIMONO REBORN TOKYO.

Fukuhara Hotel
The shop is characterized by bamboo decorations on the exterior. A local liquor store with many kinds of Japan sake and wine. The first basement floor is a wine cellar, and there is a wide variety of fruit wines. The sake I recommend is "Monsoon Yamada Nishiki". It is a fruity and easy-to-drink liquor, and it is also recommended for those who are not good at drinking. How about a hotel room or a girls' party?

The shop is a 10-minute walk from the hotel. You can heal the fatigue of your trip with a foot bath. After the treatment, you can enjoy herbal tea. The foot bath at Mominoki House is an artificial hot spring that uses barley rice stone to circulate hot water. Wheat rice stone has excellent water purification, mineral balance, and various effects such as promoting skin metabolism. The local guests were also impressed by the friendly staff. There are staff who can speak English, and it is a store that foreign customers can use with confidence.

MUJI (Marui Ueno)
Immediately after exiting the ticket gate for JR Ueno, there is the Marui Ueno store. MUJI, located on the second basement floor, has everything from food, clothing, and miscellaneous goods. Among them, we recommend "Interior Fragrance Oil". Relaxing time after taking a bath and preparing time in the morning will also be soothed by a good scent. Even when you come home from work and enter the entrance, you will be soothed by the pleasant scent, and it is like a gateway to the forest. The 60ml size is perfect for a small washbasin space, and you can adjust the intensity of the scent to your liking with a rattan stick. Take it as a souvenir.
