Fodor's Expert Review Nakamise Market

Although many of the shops have moved from selling traditional crafts to cheap knickknacks (often not made in Japan), it is worth passing down on your way to Senso-ji for the atmosphere. It is just as lively as it was when it was established in the Edo period, although now shops sells cheap sushi key chains and T-shirts alongside traditional hairpieces and silk screens. The entrance is marked by the giant red lantern at the Kaminari-mon, and ends at the grounds of the Senso-ji Complex.
