    If you're visiting Tokyo, I highly recommend staying in Asakusa. You can appreciate a different side of Sensoji Temple there.

    In the early morning, before the tourists arrive, you can visit and pray at a relaxed pace. At night, after the crowds have gone, it's completely different from the daytime bustle. Sensoji Temple has a quiet, wabi-sabi kind of beauty in the evening.

    Kaminarimon is really impressive. The moment you see the big red lantern, you know you’ve arrived in Asakusa.

    There’s also a small Inari shrine nearby. It’s tiny and easy to miss, but the fox guardian statues are adorable.

    It’s really easy to get to. You’re basically there as soon as you come out of the subway, so it’s easy to fit into your itinerary. Besides visiting the temple, the surrounding area is also really fun to explore, so it’s worth setting aside a little extra time.
