Sensoji Temple

Asakusa is known for this temple. If you're in Tokyo, you can't leave without stopping here.

This is the oldest temple in Tokyo. Home to both Kaminarimon Gate and Nakamise Street, it's always bustling with visitors. Must-see events like the Sanja Matsuri are also held here year-round.
