All Reviews of Sensoji Temple page 3

The Kaminarimon Gate at night is super cool! 😎

Honestly, Sensoji Temple feels even more atmospheric at night than during the day! 🐲

It’s really crowded—people everywhere! But the area you can explore is huge, and it’s an awesome place to visit.

Walked from Kaminarimon through Nakamise Street to visit Sensoji Temple! Even on weekdays, it's crowded during the day, but at night, the atmosphere totally changes and feels magical. Apparently, the chance of getting a 'bad luck' fortune here is higher than at other shrines—about 30%—because they follow the traditional ratio from the Heian period. I've drawn both bad and great fortunes here myself. Definitely try drawing a fortune, and if you get a bad one, tie it to the stick!

If you come to Asakusa, you have to try the ramen! There's a place called Yoroiya Ramen that gets great reviews online. Their signature yuzu soy sauce ramen and gyoza are my favorites. The broth is made from chicken and pork bones, two kinds of dried fish, and kelp, making it super rich with a hint of yuzu aroma. Plus, the double-yolk egg is amazing—absolutely top-notch!

At night, Sensoji Temple looks absolutely stunning! From Kaminarimon Gate to the main hall and even the five-story pagoda, everything is beautifully lit up. The vermilion buildings glow with a warm yellow light, making the whole place feel even more majestic and gorgeous than during the day. ❤️

There are so many affordable eats around Sensoji Temple! There’s always a line for the popular snacks like Kagetsudo melon bread, Asakusa croquettes, Asakusa strawberry daifuku, Suzukien, and Asakusa Kuugetsu strawberry dango. Every time I come here, I end up with my hands full of souvenirs—such a great haul!

After passing through Kaminarimon, you'll enter the approach to Sensoji Temple, called Nakamise Street. There are some old shops here, like Kimuraya Ningyo-yaki, a long-established store from the Meiji era, and Ichibanya, which makes senbei grilled over charcoal. These make fantastic souvenirs—highly recommended! 😍

Asakusa is a super popular tourist area. You'll often see visitors wandering around these charming old-town streets. There are lots of tasty and unique shops here that make you want to stay longer! 😋

Every time I visit Tokyo, I always make sure to stop by here. It's the oldest temple in the city and definitely the top sightseeing spot in Tokyo. You can buy tons of Japanese souvenirs! I really recommend checking this place out.

This is the spiritual center for Tokyo’s Edo-era locals and has a long history. The huge red lantern is a super recognizable landmark. With the nearby shopping streets, restaurants, Sumida River, and Tokyo Skytree, plus easy access, the whole area is a great spot for sightseeing.
