Kappabashi-dōri

thumb|A giant chef marks the entrance to the southern end of Kappabashi-dori Kappabashi-dori, also known just as Kappabashi () or Kitchen Town, is a street in Tokyo between Ueno and Asakusa which is almost entirely populated with shops supplying the restaurant trade. These shops sell everything from knives and other kitchen utensils, mass-produced crockery, restaurant furniture, ovens, and decorations, through to esoteric items such as the plastic display food (sampuru, derived from English sample) found outside Japanese restaurants. The street is also an off-beat tourist destination.

Nearby is located Kappa-dera, where locals offer cucumber to appease the Kappas.
