Mokuhankan is a traditional woodblock print shop located in the famous district of Asakusa in Tokyo. You can find newly published prints as well as a wide selection of antique offerings. (We are currently closed due to the pandemic, and will reopen when general tourism returns to Japan.)

Last year, my wife and I stumbled on this shop. Loved it. Purchased a few prints, and enjoyed talking prints with Dave. So we came back a year later, and had an even more amazing visit. Dave even gave us a tour and took us upstairs where the magic happens, and it was so cool to watch his printers making wonderful works of art. Even had the please of meeting Ayumi San (I love her ghost prints). And between visits, I browse the website and add even more prints to my collection. My wife and I spend a month or so in Japan each year, and making my pilgrimage to Mokuhankan will definitely be a mandatory trip.

My husband, young adult daughter, her friend and I shared a sushi making class on New Year’s Eve in the Asakusa area of Tokyo. The owners are warm, quick witted and deeply knowledgeable about the history and art of sushi making. We learned by doing, using fresh ingredients of excellent quality, and then enjoyed our handiwork with hot sake. It was a first class, fun experience. The owners earn the rave reviews they get.

The massage parlour was very quiet and small. We were greeted by one of the staff, who spoke very good English and booked us in for a massage later that evening as they were full when we arrived. The massages were well priced and very relaxing after a lot of walking during our trip. Our specific aches and soreness were catered for with a small form we filled out at the beginning asking where we wanted our massage to be focused. Excellent massage, next time we are in Japan, we will visit again. Thank you!

Had a great time shopping here on a drizzly grey day in June 2019. My partner is crazy about gaming so was amusing himself shopping in Akiba, but after a day of following him around I needed a break. Luckily for me, I found Aki-Oka. It's a fantastic spot on a rainy day as it's all under cover, there are some benches and free wifi, and you can get coffee and a light bite from the cafe. It's also super easy to get to - just walk alongside the Yamanote line from Akiba station. And lastly, the best bit is the shopping. I bought a beautiful ceramic brooch from a pottery studio, a wooden-faced stainless steel watch from the woodware store, and could happily have spent much, much more. Nothing is cheap because it's all beautifully hand-crafted, but for what it is, it's well-priced. And it's always nice to have pleasant memories to go with a treasured item.

We went with my 9 year old grand daughter on a terribly raining miserable day. It saved the day for us. The guide in English told us so many wonderful things about living in Japan 100 years ago and taught Maeve how to pray at a shrine, which we did later! After gleamingly new Tokyo, learning about the old days was awesome. The second floor was self guided and included many Japanese toys from 100 years ago. My grand daughter played for well overrun hour with the choices and had a ball. Also upstairs were exhibitions from the early 20th century providing insights into the earthquake of 1924 and bombing of WW 2 that devastated the area. On a miserable weather day, our trip to the museum made this a memorable morning and afternoon.

oh how I love this area! this area is an easy walk to reach from JR Nippori Station. An area where many small shrines and traditional houses are easy to find. You can find many art/craft stores, restaurants, souvenirs shops along the street and many offer reasonable prices. Had late lunch in one small restaurant with Tripadvisor certificate stickers and it was great food. This area is full with small shops and tradisional houses and it was a nice afternoon strolling. You can relax and enjoy and forget about the busy Tokyo in Yanaka

招き猫発祥地とされる今戸神社。 浅草駅から徒歩15分程かかりますが、 道中にスカイツリー、金の泡らしいが他のものに見えてならないオブジェ等が視界に入り、意外と直ぐかも。 猫の絵馬、おみくじ、巨大な招き猫♂♀が祀られており、縁結びで有名な神社です。浅草七福神の一つでも。 The god of match making is worshipped her. Also famous for its maneki neko statues. Maneki Neko Cats is said to have originated from this shrine. Naneki neko couple are set on display where you ring the bell, donate coins and pray...many female visit to pray for their good luck. Lovely place, not far from Asakusa Sensoji shrine, so reckon to visit there.

Marugoto Nippon is a department store that boasts of an excellently curated assortment of food, crafts, souvenirs from all over Japan. Items tend to be on the pricier side; especially when compared to its next-door neighbor, Don Quixote; but you know you're paying for quality. If you're not in the mood to spend money, window-shopping through each of its interesting floors will still be a good use of your time! Make sure to drop by its food section on an empty stomach as a lot of the booths there offer free samples as well!
