"Asakusa Shrine" is a place where anything you wish for will come true if you wish for it from the heart. It is also very popular with foreigners, and there were many foreigners who came to get a goshuin stamp. Asakusa Shrine is located in Taito Ward, Tokyo, right next to Sensoji Temple, a tourist attraction in Asakusa. This shrine has a history that dates back to the Edo period, and is said to be particularly beneficial for business prosperity and protection from evil. Asakusa Shrine has festivals and events held every year, and the "Sanja Festival" is a big event for locals and tourists. Please visit on a Sunday. #0 yen trip February 2025 #Asakusa Shrine

If you plan to go to Tokyo in May, don't miss the "Sanja Matsuri" on the third weekend. Surrounding Sensō-ji Temple and Asakusa Shrine, the whole of Asakusa is filled with the lively atmosphere of the festival, especially on Saturdays and Sundays when the mikoshi processions are carried out. You can see the mikoshi processions in every street and alley. It all started with the legend of Asakusa Shrine. Two fishermen brothers in the Asuka period found a statue while fishing in the lower reaches of the Sumida River. Because they had never seen one before, they took it to the most knowledgeable person in the village to see what it was. Tsuchi Shichuchi discovered that it was Guanyin Bodhisattva. Because of this cause and effect, he later converted to Buddhism and enshrined Guanyin at home. As the news spread, more and more people came from all over to worship, and the village became more and more vibrant. It was not until the Heian period that Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared at the pillow of Tsuchishi's descendants and said: Your fathers picked me up from the sea and protected me carefully. You are the heroes who promoted the development of Asakusa. Therefore, these three people should be worshipped as gods and enshrined next to Sensoji Temple. So the Asakusa Shrine was built next to the Sensoji Temple, and was later called Sansha by the locals. The Sanja Festival originated in 1312, and has a history of more than 700 years. Buddhism and Shintoism have become part of the daily lives of residents in the course of historical evolution. During the Edo period, this event was jointly held by Sensoji Temple and Asakusa Shrine. Later, due to the "Shinto-Buddhism Separation Order" during the Meiji period, it was hosted by Asakusa Shrine. In the past, the three gods would gather with Guanyin Bodhisattva in the main hall of Sensoji Temple, and then patrol Asakusa the next day to bring blessings to the world. The climax of the event is the arrival of the mikoshi at Sensoji Temple. It is said that the harder the mikoshi shakes, the more blessings the gods will bestow on the earth. After hearing this, do you feel that it is very similar to the Mazu procession in Taiwan? There will also be vendors gathering around Sensoji Temple, like a carnival in Asakusa. In recent years, it is estimated that it has attracted two million visitors, which has not only revitalized Asakusa, but also boosted the economy of Tokyo and its surrounding areas. This festival is a must-see once in a lifetime event. This year it will be held from 5/16 to 18, with the 17th and 18th being the most lively. 📍Address: 〒111-0032 Asakusa 2-chome 3-1, Taito-ku, Tokyo #February Good Places 2025

Experience traveling around Tokyo by yourself within 1 day before traveling back to Thailand🍓 Started from the hotel near Nihombashi at around 8.30 am. Walked to catch the red A (Asakusa) train to travel to the first destination, 'Asakusa sensoji'. When we went, the cherry blossoms were starting to bloom a little bit. The weather was quite cold. The temperature was only in the single digits. For those who come to Asakusa Shrine, I recommend that green tea lovers do not miss the shop 'Special Matcha Sweet Kaminari Issa Denpoin-dori'. It's so good. It's so awesome. It's so good!!! After visiting Asakusa, we traveled to the second place, 'Meiji Jingu Shire' or 'Meiji Shrine'. This shrine has been around for over 300 years. When we went to the shrine, there was a Japanese wedding ceremony. It was awesome. Meiji Shrine is easily accessible by taking the red A line from Asakusa Station A18 to Daimon Station A9, then changing to the pink E line from Daimon Station E20. Continue to Yoyoki Station E26, then walk a bit further and you will arrive. The path to the shrine here is quite far, like going for exercise. I recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes. The third place is right next to the shrine, which is Harajuku!! Shopaholics must not miss it. It is a must-see. But for us, it is a bit crowded, but there are many interesting shops. Students in this area are the most. For this area, I would like to recommend a restaurant that I still miss when I return to Thailand. I have to say that beef lovers must not miss it. It is ‘Roast Beef Ohno Harajuku’. It is very good, both in taste and price. In Thailand, you can’t eat A5 beef like a volcano for less than 1,000 baht, but here you can. I want you to try it. The line is a bit long, but if you eat it, you will know that it is worth it!!!! Continuing on to the 4th place, we went to Akihabara, which is another place to shop. We intended to look at film cameras, but ended up spending all our money around the GU Muji store and the gachapon arcade. LOL Next, we went to the 5th place, which is the Ginza area, which is the area for the rich in Japan. Brand name shoppers will love this place. There are so many shops!!! A million K's! I'm hungry! Let's go to the last place before going back to our accommodation. When we're hungry, we have to find something to eat. We traveled from Ginza to Shinjuku, which is an area with many nightlife restaurants. It feels like the later it gets, the more people there are. We ended our dinner at a yakiniku restaurant called 'Gyu kaku', which I must say is much more delicious than the ones in Thailand!!! The meat is so tender, I give it a thumbs up!!! In the end, it was a trip that we walked until we were tired, probably 15 kilometers. We ate until we were full because we stopped to eat a lot!!! And went bankrupt with the store 555555 But overall, it was super fun. It's a country that I think I'll definitely come back to in the future. 🩵🤍🌸❄️ *** I'd like to recommend that you buy a 1-day trip train ticket. You can use it on the Tokyo and Toei trains. It's super worth it.***

#celebrateit 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. This is not a single temple. It is a temple complex. The area is also a big shopping district with scores of souvenirs and snack shops lining up the street.

#0yentravelautumn I went to Asakusa Shrine in Asakusa, Tokyo. This shrine is dedicated to two local cultural figures and fishermen who rescued the Kannon Bodhisattva enshrined at Sensoji Temple from the Sumida River and enshrined it in their home. Numerous sacred animals are depicted, and it is a symbol of peace and wishes for people's happiness. The main benefits are safety of the home, prosperity in business, and fulfillment of wishes. The Sanja Festival held in May is famous and very lively. The shrine is very small and has a quiet atmosphere☺️ It is also a power spot, so please go and check it out. ————————————————— 📍Location: 2-3-1 Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo 7 minutes walk from Asakusa Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line 7 minutes walk from Asakusa Station on the Toei Subway Asakusa Line 7 minutes walk from Asakusa Station on the Tobu Line 10 minutes walk from Asakusa Station on the Tsukuba Express #mayu✈️trip🇯🇵

#Tokyo Attractions Located on the east side of Sensoji Temple, Senso-jinja Shrine solemnly enshrines three figures closely related to Sensoji Temple: Tsuchigumo Manakachi, Hida Hamanari, and Hizen Takenari. They were important founders of Sensō-ji, the oldest temple in Tokyo. They devoted their lives to the construction and development of the temple and won the respect of later generations. In 1951, the shrine was designated an important cultural property by the Japanese government, reflecting its profound historical and cultural value. When visiting Sensō-ji Temple, you might as well visit this shrine and experience its unique cultural atmosphere. 📍Address: 2-3-1 Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo 🚇Public transportation: 10 minutes walk from "Asakusa" station 🕒Opening hours: 6:00～17:00 🎫Admission: Free

Asakusa has a beautiful traditional temple called Senso-ji. There are lots of souvenir shops along with many places that you can eat. Entry into this area is free and a fun thing to do in this place is dress in traditional clothing. I think this is a place that should be visited if you’re into traditional style while you’re visiting Tokyo. #citydaytours #historicallandmarks
