- Start your Asakusa visit at the famous Kaminarimon Gate, where the huge red lantern makes a perfect photo spot. After taking your picture, walk into Nakamise, one of Japan’s oldest shopping streets. This 250‑meter walkway is lined with stalls selling traditional snacks and a variety of local crafts, giving you a lively taste of old Edo. (pass by)
- Standing in front of the main hall, this impressive two‑story gate is protected by two fierce Nio statues that guard the temple’s sacred grounds. On the back of the gate, you’ll see a pair of huge “O‑waraji” straw sandals, each weighing about 500 kilograms, hung to ward off evil. The gate was originally built to store important Buddhist scriptures. At night it’s beautifully illuminated, creating a calm atmosphere that is very different from the daytime. (pass by)
-
Senso-ji TempleWith a history of nearly 1,400 years, Senso‑ji is Tokyo’s most famous Buddhist temple. Before entering the main hall, you can follow tradition by fanning incense smoke toward yourself, a ritual believed to bring good health. You can also try your luck with “Omikuji” paper fortunes. Senso‑ji is known for giving many “bad luck” results, which makes getting a “good luck” one feel even more special. Enjoy the timeless atmosphere that has defined Asakusa for centuries.
- This open‑air observation deck gives you a great bird’s‑eye view of Asakusa. You can see Nakamise shopping street leading to Senso‑ji Temple on one side, and Tokyo Skytree rising over the Sumida River on the other. It’s a perfect spot to capture the contrast between historic temple rooftops and modern architecture. (pass by)
