Sensoji Temple is probably the oldest and most famous temple in Tokyo. The path from Kaminarimon to the temple is lined with countless shops, and you can really feel the traditional culture and lively atmosphere of the area. I've been several times, and it never feels like enough time. Besides praying, I especially love the festive vibe here.

Last year, I visited Tsurugaoka Hachimangu in Kamakura and it happened to be raining. The shrine in the rain had a special charm. The peaceful and serene atmosphere was really refreshing. It's very spacious inside, and taking a walk after visiting the shrine is also nice.

The Kawasaki Municipal Japan Outdoor Folk House Museum is really unique. You can see what Japanese homes and living spaces looked like in ancient times. I actually found them quite similar to the rural houses you see in Chinese movies, so it felt both familiar and welcoming. Plus, the museum is located in Ikuta Ryokuchi, which is known for its natural scenery, so you can also enjoy a nice walk there. I visited during hydrangea season, and the peaceful, beautiful atmosphere left a lasting impression.

Kawasaki Marien is definitely a spot worth visiting. I went there with my parents once, and sitting in the observation lounge on the 10th floor, watching the ocean and all the cars below moving around like toy cars, was really fun. Plus, it's totally free and not crowded at all.
