Here are some wedding photo spots photographed in Asakusa ♡
Senso-ji Temple's Kaminarimon
When it comes to famous spots in Asakusa, Kaminarimon at Senso-ji Temple is a must-see*
Pre-shooting in kimono in front of the large lantern is very Japanese and truly wonderful.
Shooting right in front of Kaminarimon has really impressive visuals ♡
The front of Kaminarimon can be crowded, so it might be good to shoot from this diagonal angle.
Here’s a photo taken at the intersection.
Holding hands ♡
Capturing a wide shot also looks cool, right? (Is it with a wide-angle lens…?)
Walking through the intersection too*
Turning back ♡

Nakamise Shopping Street
Passing through Kaminarimon leads to Nakamise Shopping Street, which extends to Senso-ji Temple.
It's lively and you can capture joyful photos ♡
Can you tell where the bride and groom are…!? ♡
Be cautious not to get lost as it can be crowded!
Back Streets of Nakamise Shopping Street
The back streets behind Nakamise Shopping Street have red walls and a retro atmosphere.
You can shoot in an emotional style ♡
With the bunny sign, here’s our cute bunny 🐰
Even though it's a back street, it can be bustling, so please be careful while shooting*
Hanayashiki
If you head left past Senso-ji Temple, you will find Hanayashiki*
This retro amusement park allows for adorable photos while riding the carousel ♡

Hoppy Street
Returning towards the station from Hanayashiki, you will find “Hoppy Street” where many izakayas gather 🍺. It’s a haven for alcohol lovers who can enjoy “senbero” (cheap drinks and snacks) ♡
It sounds fun to celebrate after the shoot with the photographer and hair and makeup artists at an izakaya while taking some shots♡
Beer after a day of shooting must taste the best♡
Be careful not to get your outfit dirty!
The night view of Hoppy Street has its own charm*
Azuma Bridge
"Azuma Bridge" crosses the Sumida River. It connects from Asakusa Station towards Honjo Azumabashi Station.
It's a popular spot to view the Skytree and the golden "Flame of the Olympic Torch" at the Asahi Beer headquarters*
(Quoted from Asahi Beer’s official website) The golden flame represents "Asahi Beer’s burning spirit soaring into the new century." The designer is the world-renowned French designer, Philippe Starck.
