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.
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.
<< SAKURA >>
It's the most beautiful season in Japan, I think.
<< SANJA MATSURI >>
This festival is held on the third weekend of May.
<< HOZUKI ICHI >>
In this special festival, there are many shops selling Hozuki (ground cheery) in Sensoji Temple.
<< Sumida River Fireworks Festival >>
It's one of the biggest summer events in Japan.
These shutter painting creates the graceful atmosphere at night.
Now, you can enjoy Asakusa more at night !! ┗(>ε･*)┓三
