What other travelers are saying about Asakusa Shrine
I enjoyed my visit to the Asakusa Shrine. It was filled with people students, tourists, and local people. It was lively with vendors selling items and food. There are booths where you can pay for charms and return charms. You pray for whatever your heart desires wealth, love, prosperity, health, etc. The different locations to make offerings and pray. I went inside the shrine lit a candle and placed it in a glass holder. It's a spiritual place!
Great place to take beautiful pictures.
Train or taxi accessible.
Great for friends, couples, and Family-friendly.
A definite must visit in Japan! This district is filled with a variety of food stalls and many souvenirs shops. It’s a great location for pictures and the temple is beautiful. While we were there we saw many people also renting traditional ware for pictures. It was a great experience and to see traditional architecture was amazing. It’s a great district to visit and you can spend up to half a of your day there! There’s always something to do! A little heads up is many of the food stalls do not open until after 10 AM. We arrived around 9-9:30 AM and many were not yet open. As well as the no eating while walking around still applies, there are designated areas to eat.
Beautiful shrine that is worship the people that found the god statue and wood worker that works on the statue. It’s pretty unique to pay respect to them. I enjoy here as its peacefulness and much quiet than the main area.
Asakusa Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine located right next to the famous Senso-ji Temple. It's a peaceful spot worth visiting, especially if you're interested in shrines and traditional Japanese culture. The shrine features several statues throughout the grounds, adding to its charm and making it a nice complement to the bustling Senso-ji area.
Definitely worth visiting for the architecture and statues in spite of the crowds. Come early or off-season if an issue, but popular like most major landmarks. Lots of places to eat around the shrine so venture beyond the main boulevard and into the surrounding streets.
