"As the most famous shopping street in Asakusa, the Nakamise is leads your path towards the Sensoji Temple and is lined on both sides with shops selling traditional souvenirs, snacks, and sweets. The street starts and ends with a temple gate; at the southern end is the outer gate of Kaminarimon, and at the northern end is the inner gate of Hozomon. Despite their modern concrete structures, the shops today have a traditional appearance, and are brightly decorated with hanging lanterns and green tiled rooftops."
