Asakusa is a compact area where major attractions—Kaminarimon, Nakamise Street, Sensō-ji Temple, the cherry blossoms of Sumida Park, and the riverside promenade—are all within walking distance.
Among the area’s hotels, THE KANZASHI TOKYO ASAKUSA is especially well located. It offers convenient access to Sumida Park, one of Asakusa’s most popular cherry-blossom spots, and is also within walking distance of Tokyo Skytree.
Spring in Asakusa changes dramatically throughout the day.
In the morning, Sensō-ji is relatively quiet and comfortable for visiting.
Midday brings peak cherry-blossom views in Sumida Park.
From late afternoon into evening, you can enjoy city views alongside Tokyo Skytree’s illumination.
With the hotel as your central hub, you can easily adjust your schedule and enjoy Asakusa at your own pace.
Before You Walk: Change into Kimono (30 Seconds from the Hotel｜HANAYAKA)
Before your spring walk in Asakusa, consider changing into kimono or yukata first.
HANAYAKA Kimono & Yukata Rental, just a 30-second walk from the hotel, offers plans that include everything you need—dressing, hair styling, and accessories—so you can join hands-free.
Walking through Kaminarimon and Sensō-ji in kimono naturally matches the vermillion temple architecture and spring blossoms, making photos feel even more vibrant and timeless.
It’s also popular with international travelers, and English support is available—so first-timers can feel at ease.
After your experience, you can simply head toward Sensō-ji on foot and begin your Asakusa stroll right away.
Enjoy Spring as You Walk Sensō-ji and Nakamise Street
Once you’re dressed, start by heading to Kaminarimon.
Kaminarimon is one of Asakusa’s iconic sights, and the morning light is soft—making it a great time for photos.
Along Nakamise Street, you’ll find wagashi and souvenir shops, and in spring you’ll often see seasonal items such as cherry-blossom-themed sweets and limited-time treats.
Walking in kimono blends naturally into Asakusa’s streetscape and adds a distinctly spring atmosphere to your photos.
Sensō-ji is Tokyo’s oldest temple, where you can experience both the lively approach and the calm atmosphere inside the grounds.
The area around the Yogodo Hall beside the main hall and nearby Asakusa Shrine is usually a bit quieter as well—so consider adding these stops to your walk.
A Nearby Tea Ceremony: A Perfect Pause During Your Spring Walk
After visiting Sensō-ji, you can enjoy a tea ceremony experience at Chadōgu Kakinuma, about a 2-minute walk away.
Spending time in a traditional tea room with seasonal wagashi and matcha is a refreshing pause that helps you reset during your day of walking.
