2025 Taito Ward Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)

#Tokyo Attractions Today, I came to the BANDI headquarters in Tokyo, which is truly a paradise for toy fans! At ten o'clock in the morning, I took the subway to Kuramae Station and walked about eight minutes to reach this place full of creativity and history. The scene in front of me stunned me. There were many cute cartoon dolls standing on the roadside, which instantly made me feel my childhood memories flooding back. BANDI headquarters has a history of more than 70 years and is one of the well-known toy manufacturers in Japan. When you enter the hall, the first thing that catches your eye is a variety of exhibitions showing BANDI's classic products, including "Masked Rider", "Ultraman" and "Pokemon". I can't help but feel that these characters have accompanied us as we grew up, allowing me to experience the magic of toys again. Here, you can not only appreciate various models and toys, but also take photos with your favorite characters. Each exhibition area is full of love and creativity, which makes me feel the hard work behind the making of these toys. Especially the children's laughter and surprised expressions filled the entire venue with a happy atmosphere. I saw many other tourists here, all immersed in this wonderful world. Whether young people or families, this place can meet the expectations of every toy fan. Walking in the exhibition area, I felt everyone’s love for toys, which made me feel excited, as if I had returned to my carefree childhood. After a day of exploration, my heart is filled with satisfaction and happiness. BANDI headquarters is not only a place for shopping, but also a magical space where people can feel childlike fun and creativity. Next time I come to Tokyo, I will definitely visit here again and continue my toy journey! 🚀 Address: 1-4-8 Komagata, Taito-ku, Tokyo Access: About 8 minutes on foot from Kuramae Station on the Toei Asakusa Line and Toei Oedo Line Business hours: Weekdays 10:00-18:00 (weekends and holidays vary by store) #BANDIHeadquarters #TokyoTravel #ToyFans #AnimeCulture #ChildhoodMemories #AsakusaExplore

This is my first time staying in Yinggu. Of course, I have to find out if there are any restaurants I want to eat at. #デン (DEN) is a coffee shop that was featured in the Japanese drama "The Solitary Gourmet". The whole space creates a retro atmosphere, such as wooden walls matched with a fabric sofa with gorgeous patterns. However, there will be regular customers smoking indoors, so if you are concerned about the smell of smoke, you may want to consider this. In addition, the food preparation process is relatively slow, so it is not suitable if you are in a hurry. 🍞Grapan Mix (JPY 980) The portion is scary, it’s a very thick toast! Hollow out the middle part and put in the sauce and bake it. The whole thing is super fragrant. 🥪 Sandwich Mix (JPY 680) I haven't had company sandwiches for a long time. One side is scrambled eggs + ketchup, and the other side is ham + lettuce. 🥪Topst Tamagotchi (JPY 530) The scrambled egg toast with baked bottom is seasoned with ketchup and tastes great. It was still slightly hot when it was served, so it must have been prepared upon order. ☕️Brand Code (JPY 400) A refreshing coffee that is easy to drink even with milk but no sugar. If you live nearby, you can come and feel as if time has stood still. . . DEN 📍Address: 3-3-18 Negishi, Taito-ku, Tokyo ⏰Business hours: 9:00 - 18:30 (Closed on Thursdays and Sundays) #Sign up for hotel test sleeper

I visited this cafe that specializes in coffee. The perfectly cut strawberry sandwich goes incredibly well with the coffee. The interior and tableware are stylish, and you can really see the attention to detail that went into it.

Who would have thought you could find such a golden secret spot in Tokyo! The ginkgo leaves at Ono Terusaki Shrine are truly an early winter gift, with sunlight filtering through the leaves creating breathtaking light spots～ 📍Address: 2-13-14 Shitaya, Taito-ku, Tokyo ⏰Opening hours: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM The stone dogs in the shrine are super cute!

Taito City, which includes the historic districts of Asakusa and Ueno, is the cultural heart of Tokyo. It offers a glimpse into the city's Edo-era past with its temples, traditional shops, and museums, all while being highly accessible and budget-friendly. Navigating Taito is incredibly convenient thanks to its extensive public transport network. The Ginza, Asakusa, and Hibiya Subway lines provide excellent connectivity, and the JR Yamanote Line passes through Ueno, seamlessly linking it to the rest of Tokyo. A must-do is to get a Suica or Pasmo IC card for hassle-free travel. Within Asakusa, avoid relying on the subway for short distances; instead, explore the area on foot or take a ride on the affordable and fun local rickshaws for a unique experience—just make sure to confirm the price beforehand. For accommodations, Taito offers some of the best budget options in Tokyo. Asakusa is ideal for finding charming budget hotels, hostels, and even affordable traditional ryokans (Japanese inns), providing a quieter and more historical base compared to the high-rises of Shinjuku or Shibuya. For cultural experiences, make sure to visit the iconic Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa and the expansive Ueno Park, which houses major museums like the Tokyo National Museum and the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, many of which offer free or low-cost admission. A key cultural tip is to avoid tipping in Japan—it is not customary and may be considered rude. Additionally, refrain from eating or drinking while walking, especially near temples; instead, find a designated seating area. Carrying cash (Japanese Yen, ¥) is also essential, as many traditional shops and street food vendors in Taito only accept cash, maintaining the traditional atmosphere of this historic ward. Taito offers an authentic, rewarding, and cost-effective experience of old Tokyo.

Located in Asakusa, Gallery ef is a historic art space renovated by artists from a lumber wholesaler's storehouse, originally built during the Edo period and surviving numerous hardships, including the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Tokyo Air Raids. Previously located near Kaminarimon Gate, it has now relocated to a stand-alone building with striking light blue exterior walls, offering a space filled with art and a tranquil atmosphere. The shop's greatest appeal lies in the fusion of the historic building's imposing presence with the new trends born from the people and art that gather there. It also serves as a venue for cultural exchange, showcasing works by domestic and international artists, photography exhibitions, rakugo performances, and live music, ensuring a different inspiration every time you visit. In the cafe space, you can enjoy homemade sweets made with carefully selected ingredients, including rice flour and aluminum-free baking powder. The pumpkin cheesecake and daily chiffon cake are particularly popular, characterized by their rich yet light flavor. One of the charms of Gallery ef is that it uses many ingredients from long-established local Asakusa businesses, such as bread from the famous Asakusa bakery "Pan no Pelican" for the toast and fresh cream from the long-established "Takeshita Dairy." The cafe also offers a wide selection of homemade meals, including the owner's recommended "chili beans," whose gentle flavors soothe both body and mind and are beloved by nearby workers. Another major attraction is the opportunity to meet the friendly mascot cat, Suzunosuke. Cat lovers will love the cafe's irresistible soothing atmosphere, and many visitors are drawn in by his cuteness. The historic storehouse, the warm homemade food, and the mascot cat make Gallery ef a relaxing hideaway away from the hustle and bustle of Asakusa. 📍Address: 4-6-11 Kotobuki, Taito-ku, Tokyo 🕰️Hours: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM, 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM, 6:00 PM onwards (Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays only) Closed: Mondays and Tuesdays #ZeroYenTravel2025Autumn

Izakaya Mamezo's greatest appeal lies in its signature cutlet sandwich, which became famous after being featured in media such as "Solitary Gourmet" and "Debut! Ad Street Heaven," as well as the carefully prepared, home-style Japanese-Western fusion cuisine served in the cozy atmosphere of the husband and wife restaurant. Their signature cutlet sandwich in particular is a hearty dish made with a thick loin cutlet, measuring approximately 3-4 cm, thoroughly coated in a sweet, rich special sauce and sandwiched between thinly sliced ​​bread.

The freshly fried, crispy batter and the sauce-soaked bread create a perfect balance, making it a delicious dish that's easy to understand why many customers order it as a final dish. 🍞 While this is an izakaya, the restaurant boasts a unique menu that transcends Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine, adorned on the walls.

Yuwaeru is a popular establishment in Kuramae that has been promoting the philosophy of "connecting a pleasant life with a pleasant world" since before the area became bustling. The restaurant continues to offer traditional Japanese food culture tailored to modern lifestyles.

Hanayashiki, Japan's oldest theme park. The entrance fee is 1,200 yen for a same-day ticket. If you want to enjoy the rides, you'll need to purchase additional tickets at 100 yen each. For example, the popular roller coaster requires 7 tickets per person, which comes to 700 yen. The park is compact, for better or worse, and doesn't quite fit the image of a typical theme park. However, if you can appreciate its charm, including its somewhat retro and simple vibe, you'll have a great time! Address: 2-28-1 Asakusa, Taito City, Tokyo 111-0032 Tickets: 1,200 yen and up

While walking through the alleys near Sensoji, I accidentally discovered a simple and warm cafe, 📍 The interior is cozy and quiet, but it feels like a hidden gem with quite a few local regulars. ⸻ 🫙 Handmade jam is this place’s signature!

They come in small jars, perfect for gifts! ⸻ ☕️ Grab a takeout coffee too The coffee is strong, and the price is reasonable, making it a great spot for a quick break. When you’re tired of the crowds around Sensoji, taking a breather here is truly sweet💛 ⸻ 📌 Location & Tips • 3-5 minutes on foot from Asakusa Station or Sensoji • Better for takeout or a quick visit than sitting down • Jams are super popular and sometimes sell out! ⸻ Right in the middle of the bustling tourist area, a place where you can briefly feel the local calm, Asakusa’s , I recommend stopping by lightly during your Tokyo trip 🙌
