Senso-ji, located in Tokyo's Asakusa district, is the oldest temple in the city and a must-visit for both locals and tourists. Dedicated to the Buddhist goddess Kannon, this impressive temple complex features iconic structures like the Kaminarimon gate with its giant red lantern and the Hozomon gate guarded by fierce Nio statues. Visitors can stroll down Nakamise-dori, a bustling shopping alley filled with traditional souvenirs and snacks, before exploring the main hall, five-story pagoda, and serene Japanese garden. Don't miss the chance to experience the vibrant atmosphere and historical charm of Senso-ji, especially when it lights up beautifully at night!

We highly recommend exploring Asakusa via a free walking tour, linked below!
