A long-established Japanese sweets shop right near Sensoji Temple. The interior retains its Showa-era atmosphere just as it was, so it's good for when you want a quiet break in between sightseeing. However, the stairs up to the seating area are quite steep, so it may be a bit tough for elderly people or those carrying large luggage. I ordered the matcha and ningyo-yaki set, and the tea's pleasant bitterness goes well with the sweet ningyo-yaki. There are lots of street-food shops in Asakusa, but places where you can sit down and leisurely drink tea are precious. When I went on a weekday a little after 15:00, it was empty and I got in smoothly. I recommend stopping by when you're tired of the bustle of Nakamise Street.

A ningyo-yaki shop along Kaminarimon-dori, the street heading from Asakusa Station to Kaminarimon. They also sell them individually from just 1 piece, so you can eat them on the spot. I bought a koshian ningyo-yaki for 170 yen including tax. Is it shaped like Hotei-sama's face? Sweet batter filled with sweet chunky red bean paste, it was delicious.

Japanese sweets café, Maybe because the entrance is hard to find, I can always get a seat. It's a hidden gem.. It has atmosphere, and with its thick walls, the inside is quiet and calm.

My grandfather, my mother, and I were looking for dessert after our meal when we found this place and dropped in. After climbing a slightly steep staircase to the 2nd floor, you enter a café with a calm atmosphere filled with cool air. It was lunchtime and other cafés were very crowded, but this place was very empty, so I recommend it for people who want to spend some quiet time. By the way, it's non-smoking and the restrooms are separate for men and women.

A good old-fashioned café run by an elderly couple. It's on the 2nd floor, up the stairs next to a tea shop. The interior has a charm that feels like it's been there since long ago, and from the window seats you can look out over Kaminarimon and the bustling streets. You can enjoy things like "oshiruko" and "tokoroten" regardless of the season. It's really relaxing inside, so it's my favorite café.
