If you want to take great photos in Asakusa, this is the place!

This service includes sponsored advertisements.

The streets of Asakusa are crowded and lively, so it's hard to take the photos you want. That's why we recommend the Japanese cafe Wasako. In Wasako's tea room, you can take special photos in a traditional Japanese room with tatami mats and daimyo umbrellas.

We built a small Japanese-style room with a forest feel in Kaminarimon 2-chome, a 1-minute walk from Asakusa Station. Each tea ceremony experience lasts 45 minutes. Watch a tea ceremony demonstration and enjoy sweets and matcha tea If you wish, you can also have the tea actually made for you. You can easily experience Japanese culture without bringing anything. Also, wasako is an extremely relaxing space. There are no chemicals in the air, and the background music is forest sounds. How about taking a deep breath and having a cup of matcha?

The charm of Asakusa and the difficulty of taking photographs

Asakusa is known as one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tokyo. There are many attractions, such as historic temples and shrines, beautiful streetscapes, monthly festivals and events, and lively shopping streets, attracting many tourists. Sensoji Temple and Kaminarimon are especially popular photo spots for visitors.

However, capturing the beautiful scenery in a photograph can be surprisingly difficult. Especially on weekends and holidays, when many tourists visit, it is common for strangers to get in the frame when you try to take a photo. The weather and temperature can also affect the photos, and since all the popular spots in Asakusa are crowded, you may not be able to find the time or space to take the photos you want.

A special photo experience at Wasako

At the tea ceremony experience salon Wasako, you can take wonderful photos in a relaxing Japanese space, away from the hustle and bustle of Asakusa. A unique feature is the tea room with tatami mats. Here, you can take photos in a relaxed atmosphere while feeling the traditional Japanese atmosphere.

The charm of tatami Japanese-style rooms

The tatami room is a space that symbolizes Japanese culture. You can take a photo while sitting or lying on the tatami and leave a photo that is truly Japanese. The beautiful decorations and furnishings also enhance the photo. The scent of the rush grass, the material used for tatami, is refreshing. At Wasako, different decorations and events are prepared for each season, so there is always something new to discover no matter how many times you visit.

Shooting in a private space

Wasako offers private rental plans so that customers can take photos at their own pace. You can take memorable photos while spending special time with your family, friends, or partner without being disturbed by other tourists. This private space will be especially special on anniversaries and special events.

Wasako's kimono rental plan

We also offer paid kimono rentals to meet your needs. No prior reservations are required, and you can enjoy wearing a beautiful kimono and taking photos. You can choose from adult furisode, houmongi, yukata, and men's kimonos.

There are also free props available for your enjoyment, such as happi coats, wooden imitation swords, and Japanese dance fans. You can also take photos of the moment to make it an even more memorable experience.

Access to Wasako

Wasako is located within walking distance of Sensoji Temple, making it a convenient place to stop by between sightseeing trips.

Asakusa is a difficult place to take beautiful photos, but Wasako solves that problem and allows you to take special photos. Why not take a memorable photo while enjoying a private moment in a Japanese-style room with tatami mats, a space unique to Japan?

All the staff at Wachako look forward to welcoming you. If you are sightseeing in Asakusa, please stop by Wasako and enjoy a special photo experience.
