On the right side of Sensoji temple main-hall, there is Asakusa shrine. It is interesting to know that, Buddhist Sensoji and Shintoism Shrine is staying together here. It is much smaller than temple, though, seeing its old architecture of more than 350 years old, and much more quiet and peaceful atmosphere are enough worth visiting. Sometimes on weekends, you can see a monkey show there, too! My recommend is to buy a cute amulets at the shrine office!

This is where the most of the tourists’ destination in Asakusa area. Having been one of the most famous tourist spots in Japan, Sensoji holds more than 30 million visitors every year. It is crowded all year long especially on festival days like New Years, Cherry blossom, and Sanja festival, but from the twilight, the atmosphere turns into very quiet, and beautiful light up. You can enjoy those both faces up to what timing of a day!

Sumida river is one of the biggest river streams in Tokyo. You have many things to enjoy here! You can enjoy running in along the river park all the time, on the last week of March, you can enjoy 650 trees of cherry blossom! There are water cruise between Asakusa, Hamarikyu-garden, and Odaiba bayside shopping town, or there are the traditional restaurant cruise which is called “Yahata-Bunei”, too! It is also good just to walk around the park to enjoy the seasonal transitions.

This is one of the oldest the busiest shopping streets in Japan! Everyone can enjoy this streets because this shopping street was established and advanced as a pilgrimage street starting from Kaminarimon gate to the main hall of Sensoji. About 90 shops of some food stands, or many different kinds of souvenir will absolutely attract you on the way to the temple. One notice is that, if you would like to enjoy shops, be sure to arrive here before 6PM! Many of the shops start closing from that time. But if you don’t care about shopping and would like to enjoy the lights in the night, it will be much more quiet and you can enjoy a beautiful light up of the temple, too!
