Kimono rental in Asakusa for a perfect food-walking course while strolling in a kimono
We rented kimono at Rikawafuku Asakusa Store, and I went on a food-walking tour in Asakusa with my friend!
The kimono had a small floral pattern, and we styled it in a similar-look fashion with the obi and obijime.
Our hairstyles were matching braided styles! The chirimen hair ornaments looked like butterflies and were super cute!
Recommended Lunch while Wearing a Kimono in Asakusa
Since we met around lunchtime, we first went to the 4th floor of Marugoto Nippon for lunch!
There were so many shops, it was hard to choose, but we went to Wagyu Dining Panga and had the beef skirt steak bowl!
We ordered both miso and salt sauce. The meal came with miso soup and salad. The meat was tender and very delicious! The miso sauce made the rice irresistible, and we finished everything in no time!
The first floor of Marugoto Nippon also had many delicious-looking foods!
The whole building is themed around Japan, so you can feel various Japanese charms! Many foreign tourists were also there.
Afterward, we walked around Nakamise Shopping Street in kimonos while sampling tasty treats.
The three-color dango is a personal favorite when wearing a kimono. It’s also perfect for Instagram-worthy photos!
Eating while wearing a kimono somehow makes everything taste ten times better!
My friend tried strawberry daifuku and Asakusa menchi as well.
Even though we were full, we couldn’t resist and had baked sweet potato yokan too.
Ice cream and dorayaki looked delicious, so we’ll try them next time…
As the sun set and it got a little chilly, we went to Kaminari Issa for a warm drink.
It’s close to Rikawafuku Asakusa Store, so it was reassuring for the return time.
I ordered a matcha latte, and my friend ordered matcha, which came with very authentic and delicious Japanese sweets!
Japanese sweets and tea really match kimonos!
We chatted while walking and headed back to return the kimonos with plenty of time.
We ate a lot, laughed a lot, and had a fun Asakusa sightseeing experience in kimonos!
