If you want to experience something very \u201cJapanese\u201d in Tokyo, I highly recommend going to Asakusa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Asakusa, you can rent a kimono and enjoy the traditional streets, street food, and temple visits all in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are also modern and stylish kimono designs now, which makes the experience even more cute and aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I went on a weekday afternoon, and it looked like this \u2014 relaxed and not too crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But on weekends, it gets much busier, so I\u2019d recommend visiting on a weekday or during cooler seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll also see a lot of rickshaw drivers trying to invite you for a ride \u2014 that\u2019s part of the atmosphere here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re looking for cute souvenirs or stylish kitchenware, I also recommend visiting nearby Kappabashi Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a place where you can find everything from handmade crafts to practical cooking tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the way, I always thought \u201ckappa\u201d was just a mythical creature \u2014 but in my hometown, there was even a story that kappa would take you away if you misbehaved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What about in your country? Do you have similar folklore?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back to today\u2019s goal \u2014 I came here to look for Indian-style tableware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kappabashi isn\u2019t only Japanese \u2014 you can also find European and Asian-style dishes and crafts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recently, I\u2019ve been cooking a lot of curry with different spices, and I ended up staining my plates\u2026 so I decided to get new ones specifically for curry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also bought fish plates \u2014 the deep blue color feels perfect for serving fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It feels like the colors really match the food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you ever come to Japan, I highly recommend visiting here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
