Senso-ji Temple is located in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan. This ancient Buddhist temple is a captivating travel destination with a rich history and vibrant surroundings.As you approach the temple, Nakamise-dori, a bustling street lined with traditional shops, leads the way. These shops offer a delightful array of souvenirs, traditional crafts, and local snacks, creating a lively atmosphere for visitors. The scent of incense fills the air as you enter the temple grounds, enhancing the spiritual experience.Exploring the temple complex, you'll encounter the iconic Thunder Gate (Kaminarimon) with its massive red lantern. Beyond it, the main hall, Hondo, stands majestically. Visitors can partake in the ritual of purifying themselves with the smoke of burning incense and then proceed to admire the beauty of the temple's architecture.Senso-ji is not only a religious site but also a cultural hub. Nearby, the Asakusa Culture and Tourist Information Center offers panoramic views of the area, providing a perfect vantage point for photography enthusiasts. Additionally, Sumida Park, along the Sumida River, offers a tranquil escape, especially during cherry blossom season.Overall, Senso-ji Temple and its surroundings provide a perfect blend of history, spirituality, and vibrant local culture, making it a must-visit destination for travelers in Tokyo.

The landmark of Osaka city. One of the best place to see the mable leaf. Explain the life of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. You can imagine how he felt when he stood on the top floor of the castle, while looking at his kingdom.

Very pure and impressively massive wooden temple , the largest wooden building in the world , with a serene and grand bronze statue of Buddha inside, one of the largest Buddha figures on earth. I first visited Nara and Todaiji almost 40 years ago. Nara is a quiet city. The sightseeing of Todaiji and the Nara park, with its adorable and sometimes a bit naughty deers, brings you a genuine moment of joy and tranquility.

Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ The Huajian Road in the garden is also near the hotel where you live, and it can be reached in steps. Sometimes it takes a few times a day. Huajian Road has always felt that the name is very wonderful, a bit romantic and a little fresh. It is said that this is a famous geisha area, but I didn't see much geisha ladies. There are many young ladies who wear kimonos. Huajian Road is also a scenic spot worth visiting. The layout structure is more traditional Japanese style and characteristics. There are also many snacks and dining places. Because the itinerary is slightly rushed, there is no more stops in Huajian Road.

It was quite a long walk from Nara station to reach the temple, but there are so many sightseeing spots in between, so you don't really feel the long walk. The temple gives off very tranquil feeling.
