Frommer's Review

Asakusabashi is Tokyo's wholesale district for retailers of dolls, with several stores lining Edo Dori. This is one of the area's biggest stores, founded in 1830. It sells both modern and traditional dolls; its Japanese dolls range from elegant creatures with porcelain faces, delicate coiffures, and silk kimono to wooden dolls called kokeshi. Hours are Monday to Friday 9:15am to 6pm; Saturday to Sunday 9:15am to 5:15pm. Closed several days following Children's Day and in mid-August.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
