Senso-ji Temple

Nice shopping strip leading up to the temple , you can dress up in traditional yukata for nice photos. Temple itself is under construction so you couldn't see inside but still a nice wander in the area

Lots of things to do during the day; but try hanging out at the vicinity before the shops close, and come at night to see the beautiful lighting of both less crowded Senso-ji and the Sky Tree afar.

Overcrowded with tourists . Also they hosting huge festival Sanja Matsuri in the middle of May, it's three days of madness with two millions of religious people around, don't miss it.

Definitely a must see. You can enter through the Main Street and enjoy the souvenirs and sights, and can come back through some of the back streets which offers great food and more quiet ambient

Tokyo's oldest budhist temple , Adjacent to the temple is a five-story pagoda & the Asakusa Shinto shrine , as well as many shops with traditional goods and foodstall in the Nakamise-dōri#TravelingTokyo

Dramatic nighttime illumination highlights vermilion and crimson detailing in the Five-Storied Pagoda . Also Nakamise Street sells food and goods to pilgrims, whose numbers swell around New Year’s. Read more

I was sad to learn that this building is a rebuilt model of the original, which was destroyed in WW2, but the architecture is still gorgeous and the tourist bits worthy of a visit on their own merit.

The temple is a great place to visit. with a charming old vibe. There's a big market nearby with lots of gifts , souvenirs , and tasty Japanese food . Definitely worth a visit!

Tourist place with a Shinto shrine just after a walk through souvenir stalls. Expect crowds, smiles. Positive experience as we knew it's a very popular place (especially weekends/holidays)

Tremendous views of the Temple , Hozoman Gate, & Five-story pagoda . Expect a crowd. Make sure to do the purification trough, pray at (& ring) the bells, and shake the metal boxes to learn your fortune.

Despite hundreds of tourists , this is my favorite shrine in Tokyo. Different feelings during the day and at night, both magical.

It should b in 1s bucket list when visiting Tokyo. There r dozens of shrines & temples in d city . Few as impressive as this. Downside is it's very touristy .

Love the temple and green tea latte near the temple , with love, Agustinus Purwadiyanto in Tokyo Japan for two weeks, from Jakarta

It's a huge temple and also a tourist spot so it gets really crowded at times. There's a lot of souvenirs and Japanese rice crackers as well as other snacks sold along the way to Sensoji Temple .

Where you go to do all your souvenirs shopping. You’ll find 80% of everything Japanese you need. The remaining 20% will be the more unique stuff, walking around Tokyo.

Great place but REALLY crowded . Love the decoration but unfortunately we didn't spend long time here since too many people and we could barely move around.

Gorgeous temple ! It makes you feel really calm and happy. And it is so cool to watch the people that come and go

Try visiting at night when it is beautifully lit up and in the early morning. The shops will all be closed at those times but much less crowded and easier to get better photos.

A district full of Tokyo souvenirs and Japanese sweets fresh &packed. A clean district which doesn’t allow eating food while shopping or walking through it. Eating is allowed from behind the shops.

Must see in Tokyo. Amongst many other great sites with a market street in front. Get some tempura in this area.

A must see for visitors to Japan, this is Tokyo's oldest temple . The street leading up to it is lined with shops and food galore!

History and Mission of Senso-ji Temple In 628, Japan’s capital was at Asuka(present-day Nara Prefecture) and what would become Tokyo was still mostly uninhabited grasslands....... Read more

Super busy, lots of tourists , closed Monday. Easy subway ride from multiple areas. If you go here also consider the Sky Tree and Sumida Park .

Beautiful temple . Great for photos. Nice juxtaposition of the traditional and modern. Highly likely to see women in kimonos.

The market street at the foot of this temple is your best bet for souvenirs in Tokyo

Famous shrine in Tokyo. Remember to check out the nakamise-dori street with plenty of traditional Japanese souvenir

Great temple , must see in Tokyo. The street outside of the front entrance is fun and lively as well

Must-visit for tourists that come to JP. Famous red lantern to take photo. Love Nakamise shopping street

Sensoji (浅草寺, Sensōji, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple ) is a Buddhist temple located in Asakusa. It is one of Tokyo's most colorful and popular temples .

Been here during Golden Week. Packed, but nice. Try your look and look for a good fortune by drawing sticks.

Super crowded with tourists , but a nice place to visit. Interesting to have such a huge temple in the middle of so many buildings.

Avoid the crowds and come at night! It was very empty, and there is enough light to still capture the temple .

A good place for photos, but not for history. The buildings here are all built in 20th century although they claim to be the oldest temple in Tokyo . The pagoda is actually a concrete structure ????

Buy a "goshuin" (temple stamp book ) for ~￥1000; at each temple you go to, go to the "souvenir " shop and ask them to stamp it. A fantastic way to remember your trip to Japan.

icnoic spot to visit when in asakusa, temple has many great spot for photos too, especially if you are all dressed up in kimono. https://t.co/mYEReU8rRm

It was only a couple of min walk away and took so many pictures in there, A great temple and market place along the street where you can buy some souvenirs for your friends...

Stunning. I'd recommend visiting the surrounding grounds as well , as they are just as beautiful.

Easily my most favorite place in Tokyo, Japan. Has some of the finest temples around and depicts Japanese culture at its best.

U may buy souvenirs around this temple .. Or taking pictures while the Tokyo Skytree is far away on the background

I came late at night and it pretty quiet and certainly striking. Heard it can get busy in the daytime, though!

Come here on NYE to enjoy the hordes of people bringing a visit to the temple to donate money and ask for good luck. A lot of foodstalls on the surrounding premises.

Remember to give the fortune stick container a good swirl before shaking a stick out or you will have a high or 100% chance to get the same fortune stick number as the previous devotee.

This is the one of famous tourism spot of Tokyo Japan. So many foreigners will be visited at there.

Very famous historical temple in Tokyo, one of the must visit place for tourists .

Best to pray for good fortune and happiness...Many cheap souvenirs up for grabs!!!!❤️????

Here, you can see visitors fan the smoke from the incense burner towards themselves. This is because the smoke is believed to have healing properties

Missed the fortune stick :( but not the market , alot of cool things and yummy karage *slurph... :9 also you may find your hometown ppl. Its a great meeting point by accident

Rinse your left hand. Rinse your right hand. Pour water into your left hand and rinse your mouth. Rinse the dipper

One of the more crowded temples in Tokyo. The streets around have some cool souvenirs and tasty food joints.

Tokyo's oldest Buddhist temple dates from the year 645. Just outside its Thunder Gate entrance is a bustling market where you can find anything.
