Demon Slayer

Walk the Taisho-era Asakusa that Tanjiro walked.

Demon Slayer is set in Taisho-era Japan, and Asakusa is the district that appears most recognisably in the story. The neighbourhood around Sensoji Temple still keeps the street layout and the shopping arcade that the anime references, and it works well as a half-day walk combined with Tokyo Skytree, where the official Jump Shop sells series merchandise.

Common questions

Where are the real Demon Slayer locations in Tokyo?

Asakusa is the district that appears most recognisably in the series, particularly the area around Sensoji Temple and the Nakamise shopping street. Go after 19:00, when the shops close and the illuminated temple grounds become quiet — that is the closest match to the anime. Official merchandise is sold at the Jump Shop in Tokyo Solamachi, one train stop away.

Where can I buy Demon Slayer merchandise in Tokyo?

The Jump Shop in Tokyo Solamachi at the base of Tokyo Skytree is the most reliable official source, restocked regularly and carrying designs not sold through general retail. Animate Ikebukuro Flagship has a wider general selection across ten floors. Time-limited collaboration cafés also sell exclusive goods, but those sell out faster than the seats.
