What other travelers are saying about Sensoji Temple
It remains a beautiful temple complex with a lush, pretty garden. It's the sixth time I visit and it's still a sensational sight.
Recommended to go at dusk, less crowded and gorgeous twilight. Lamps illuminate the buildings. The stores will be closed but it will be a more tranquil experience.
It' s an ancient Buddhist temple in Asakusa, Tokyo and is oldest-established temple, and one of its most significant in the city. The temple complex includes main hall, a five-story pagoda and large gates. It is the most widely visited religious site in the world with over 30 million visitors annually. Very popular place, lots of tourists and locals. Very crowded level terrain, lots of walking though. Great place for photography. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen. Keep an eye on your valuables
What an experience visiting this temple! We only wish we had more time to explore the area at length. The walkway to the temple are lined with shops, too many shops and not enough time to just browse! We went late morning and it was crowded and hot. The temple itself was beautiful, we were able to walk around and see it's beauty from all sides. I would recommend you get there early to beat the crowds and to give yourself some time at the shops too. I will definitely come back again one day🙏🤞
Senso-ji is a beautiful and iconic temple, free to visit and definitely worth seeing if you are in Tokyo. The grounds are impressive, with a great atmosphere and lots of cultural charm. It can get very crowded during the day, but in the early morning it feels much more peaceful and serene. A must-visit spot if you’re in the area.
The oldest temple in Tokyo did not dissapoint. Was great to see the 5 story pagoda, such a marvel of its time. Severely overcrowded when we went, I'd suggest visiting early in the morning.
