Asakusa, Tokyo — Hemp Cafe
Cannabis containing THC is completely illegal in Japan with severe criminal penalties including imprisonment. Do NOT bring cannabis or CBD products from abroad.

Asakusa Hemp Tea House is a tranquil hemp tea and wellness café tucked near the famous Senso-ji Temple in historic Asakusa. The establishment serves a range of organic hemp teas, CBD-infused drinks and hemp seed snacks, all prepared in accordance with Japanese food safety regulations and containing zero THC.
The café environment is deliberately calming — traditional Japanese décor, low lighting and the scent of hemp tea create a restorative atmosphere distinct from Tokyo’s more commercial CBD retail shops. Hemp Tea House also retails its tea blends and a small selection of CBD wellness products to take home.
Asakusa is Tokyo’s most traditional neighbourhood, best known for Senso-ji Temple, Nakamise shopping street and the Sumida River. Asakusa Station is served by Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, Toei Asakusa Line and Tsukuba Express. The area attracts both domestic tourists and international visitors exploring traditional Japan.
Japan has some of the most stringent drug laws in the world. The Cannabis Control Act (大麻取締法) completely prohibits THC cannabis — possession carries up to 5 years imprisonment, and import or export up to 7 years. Foreign nationals have been arrested and deported for carrying CBD products that were legal in their home country but contained traces of THC. Only CBD/hemp products with zero THC derived from hemp stalks and seeds are permitted. Leaf and flower-derived CBD is prohibited. All stores listed in this guide operate within Japanese law and sell only compliant zero-THC CBD products. If you are visiting Japan, do not bring any cannabis or CBD products from abroad without verifying Japanese customs regulations.
