Tokyo Photo Gallery - Kappabashi Kitchen Town

Chefs take note. Kappabashi is Tokyo's kitchen accessories shopping destination, offering everything from utensils and knives to the famous plastic food models that restaurants display out front. Kitchen Town consists of over 170 shops along 800m of the main street, which has old-style canopies protecting shoppers from the elements. Getting here is quite easy. It's only a short walk from the Asakusa Shrine and the nearest metro stop is Tawaramachi on the Ginza Line. Further Reading : The Guardian article (2018) Nikkei Asia article (2023)
