About us
# Let's Discover Asakusa Together!
Love discovering local gems, taking photos, and experiencing authentic Japanese culture? Join us as we explore the quieter side of Asakusa while supporting the neighborhood's amazing small businesses!
This group brings together people who enjoy photography, content creation, cultural experiences, and meeting new people. Together, we'll visit cafés, restaurants, shops, and other local venues around Asakusa, where we'll participate in relaxed, candid photoshoots featuring a Taishu Engeki performer in each location.
The photos from these outings will become part of a special initiative by Asakusa Mokubakan Theater, helping introduce these wonderful local businesses through short feature articles and social media content. By simply joining our photo walks, you'll be helping shine a spotlight on independent businesses and preserve the charm of Asakusa's local community.
