Asakusa & Kuramae · shop

Turkish import shop tucked into a Nishi-Asakusa back street. Rugs, ceramics, textiles — the kind of stuff that makes you pause mid-walk. Small, curated selection that feels genuinely sourced rather than mass-stocked.

What makes it special

Velfa stocks Turkish home goods and textiles in a quiet corner of Nishi-Asakusa, away from the main shrine tourist drag. The inventory shifts—genuine import pieces rather than souvenir-stand merchandise. The IG post frames it as part of exploring Tokyo’s quieter, less obvious neighborhoods.

How to visit

Open daily 10am–8pm. Located in the Harashi Building on Nishi-Asakusa’s quieter blocks. Walk south from Tawaramachi Station (Ginza Line, 4 min) or east from Asakusa Station. Cash and card accepted.
