Tokyo’s Traditions & Nightlife: A Day in Asakusa & Shinjuku

Join me on Day 3 of our Tokyo adventure as we explore the perfect mix of tradition, pop culture, and neon nightlife! 🌸

We start the day at Maikoya in Asakusa for an intimate Kimono Tea Ceremony, then dive into the colorful world of Sanrio Gift Gate for Hello Kitty and friends. After refueling at a Japanese convenience store, we visit the spiritual heart of Tokyo at Sensō-ji Temple and even make a quick stop at JINS for new glasses – ready in just an hour!

As night falls, we head to Shinjuku, marveling at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building light show, exploring neon-lit streets, and wandering the iconic Golden Gai bars. From centuries-old traditions to quirky pop culture and vibrant nightlife, this episode captures Tokyo’s incredible contrasts.
