Love in Asakusa: A Valentine's Campaign to Celebrate Romance
The bustling streets of Asakusa, known for its rich culture and vibrant atmosphere, will soon transform into a romantic haven for couples with the launch of the 'Love in Asakusa' campaign. Kicking off on January 14th, 2026, and running through February 14th, this initiative aims to create memorable experiences for couples, coinciding perfectly with the Valentine's season.
Campaign Overview
The 'Love in Asakusa' campaign is designed to support couples in celebrating their love, offering an array of engaging activities and experiences. The campaign centers around the aromatic shop 'inimu,' located at 2-1-5 Asakusa, operated by Kyarainnovate Co., Ltd. In collaboration with popular local attractions such as 'Kawarana,' 'Kuruma-ya,' 'Tokyo Rickshaw,' and the French restaurant 'et vous?,' this campaign presents a variety of unique experiences that allow couples to create lasting memories together.
The main theme of this year’s campaign is the irresistible scent of chocolate, symbolizing the sweet connections that love inspires. Couples will have the opportunity to engage in experiences that allow them to share their feelings through fragrance, a contemporary take on traditional Valentine's gifts.
Chocolate-Inspired Aroma Experiences
The centerpiece of the campaign introduces a selection of sophisticated chocolate fragrances crafted by Japanese perfumers from the brand 'PERFUMERS.' This delightful collection includes three signature scents:
Tea Chocolate,
Orange Peel, and
Bitter. Couples can enjoy these fragrances through specially designed fabric mists available at 'inimu.'
This campaign emphasizes the importance of closeness, encouraging couples to communicate their feelings in nuanced ways that go beyond words. The subtle sweetness of the fragrances is meant to enhance intimacy, creating a unique atmosphere as couples stroll through the beautiful streets of Asakusa.
