Underground city

This time I’m came to the first time to Asakusa Underground Shopping Center.

It is in a good location just below Tobu Asakusa Station (underground), but…

Somehow the entrance is retro and suspicious…

Once inside I can feel how particular this place is …

The Asakusa underground mall was open in 1955. The sign in the image has written: “50 years since its opening” and that sign has been there for about 15 years, so, the total of years since its opening is 65 years Wow! This is one of the oldest underground shopping centers in Japan. 

When you go down to the basement, it is a retro space.

There are izakaya (Japanese bars) and standing buckwheat noodle shops.

Actually, I love Japanese retro style.

It became a fun and interesting plan that I had not imagined.

there was a vending machine that I had never seen before, selling insects to eat …

I must try it, but maybe in the next time ><

Nearby there is a shop that offers delicious and cheap “Teppanyaki soba”. What a price 350 yen! (at the time of this report)

The few recent style izakaya (?) Are also a bit weird but not in a bad way.

for example, the bartender in this izakaya is a ninja …(We couldn’t take him a picture)

And the wall is full of sake bottles, it’s funny!!

Many people suddenly pass through the underground shopping mall.
This is because the underground shopping mall connects with Asakusa Station on the Ginza Line.

“At first I was a little anxious, but when I entered it was very exciting.
Enjoy the experience when you come.

This is all for this time from Asakusa Underground Shopping Center. thanks for reading!!!
