Hoppy Street

Asakusa Hoppy Street, located on the west side of Sensoji Temple, is a popular drinking area that retains the nostalgic atmosphere of the Showa era. The street is lined with casual taverns and famous eateries known for their stewed offal dishes, and the rows of red lanterns and shopfront lights create a lively downtown Asakusa vibe. Many establishments are open from daytime, making it easy to stop by for a quick drink during sightseeing.

Visitors can relax in an unpretentious setting while enjoying local favorites such as Hoppy, lemon sours, stews, and grilled dishes. From late afternoon into the night, the street becomes even more vibrant, with people sitting at outdoor tables and enjoying drinks al fresco. The area naturally attracts a wide range of people—from local regulars to tourists and international travelers—fostering a cheerful and welcoming atmosphere.

Whether you want to take a casual break during the day or immerse yourself in Asakusa’s bar culture at night, Hoppy Street is a beloved spot that can be enjoyed at any time of day.
