A lively and delicious neighborhood recommended for your Japan trip. Savor sushi and yakitori in Asakusa.

Sushi Restaurant “Tuna Man”

I went to a sushi restaurant in the old downtown area of Asakusa, Tokyo.
It’s delicious and quick. The address is listed at the bottom of the good restaurant page.

Sushi chefs are stationed at the counter.
This place has quite a few foreign customers.

Asakusa has been a bustling town where people gather for over 300 years. It’s what you’d call a downtown area. There are also menus written in English.

Yakitori

After enjoying sushi, head to a Japanese yakitori restaurant.
They serve grilled chicken skewers and grilled pork; the pork version is called “yakiton.”

If you watch the video, you’ll see that there are a lot of foreigners here too.
