Sensoji is one of the few places in Tokyo where you can still really feel that classic Japanese vibe.
As soon as you walk through Kaminarimon, the scent of incense and the sound of the crowds make it feel like time slows down.
You’ll see lots of girls in kimono taking photos—it looks beautiful and the atmosphere is great.
Whether it’s morning or night, Sensoji is a spot where you can just stroll around and soak it all in quietly.

It’s especially awesome at night. With the lights and all the chatter, it totally has that Japanese nightlife feel.

Seeing the red-crowned cranes in winter is especially awesome. The snowy scenery with those white cranes just feels so Japanese.

Most of the boatmen will sing or give explanations (mainly in Japanese).
Even if you don’t understand, it still feels quite charming.
Rain, extreme heat, or cold will definitely make the experience less enjoyable, especially in summer when it gets so hot you start questioning your life choices. -
