Nakamise Shutter Painting

Nakamise street is one of the most attractive spot in Asakusa.
In the daytime, you can see a lot of people enjoying eating, shopping etc.

All shops on Nakamise street are closed around 6:00 pm.
It's pretty early, isn't it !?

However, you can still enjoy Nakamise street even after all shops are closed !!

As the other side of Nakamise street, something artistic shows up at night.


Shutter Painting !!


Regarding the shutter as a huge campus,
special feature of each season in Asakusa was painted on the shutter.


Let's see how wonderful it is.

It's the most beautiful season in Japan, I think.
