Explore Kappabashi

Discover the culinary heart of Tokyo at Kappabashi.


Spanning 800 meters and packed with more than 170 storefronts, this bustling street, tucked in between Ueno and Asakusa, is Japan’s largest shopping street devoted to kitchen products.

Explore a stunning variety of stores specializing in glassware, knives, pottery, lacquer, plastic food samples, cooking utensils and more. While most shops accept credit cards, having some cash on hand is always a good idea.

And for those who want to keep the fun going, a local Italian restaurant is available for reservations.

With limited spots available, secure your spot today.
