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.

A beautiful sight of Japanese traditional art and culture. Right outside is the famous Harajuku area, so it makes for an interesting two-sided experience.

Kawagoku Master Hido Yoshikawa is a large-scale Buddhist monastery located in Kawagoku-Edo Tibetan Li, Saitama Prefecture, near Tokyo, a small town full of traditional Japanese culture. The Xiduoyuan is a temple founded by the master Cijue Yuanren in the Ping An era, and has a deep origin with the Tokugawa family. The Chaoyin Pavilion in the temple displays many historic shipbuilding supplies, some salvaged from the ancient shipwreck, but still preserved well. The weather was sunny and hot when I went, but in this temple that needed to wash my hands and take off the dust and enter, I naturally calmed down and paid tribute to the Buddha. The courtyard of the temple is in accordance with the traditional Japanese aesthetic layout, which reflects the ingenuity in nature. The stone buckets that lead to spring water are carved with monks and texts, which have been washed in the years and blurred, adding a sense of history.

It is a well-known landmark, and there are many people on the scene. Unfortunately, the cherry blossom season has passed. Otherwise, there will be a lot of cherry blossoms here. It is very beautiful to shoot. You can see the magnificent sculptures and the magnificent scenery behind. It is worth visiting 😍🥰.

Walking day trip at Kamakura , a very popular temple for a reason. There is a beautiful promenade between the station and shrine. It is easy to access and has good signs. There are nice toilets and a museum. The shrine itself can be busy, so if you want to go inside and do blessings, be prepared to wait a little. Overall very beautiful and worth seeing. It is a Shinto shrine established in 11th century, built in 1828 in the traditional Edo architectural style. Will visit again because here have a lot nearby temple we haven't finish for 1 days trip.

I visit every year for the New Year's visit. ⛩ Kuizu can also be read as a "quiz", so there are also quiz-related visits. 😳 Just at the beginning of the year, people are overflowing. There are many food stalls, so I think it's a place for children to enjoy a lot.

It is worth a visit, not far from Narita Airport, belonging to the Secret Sect Buddhism. The gardens in Narita Mountain Park next to the temple are beautiful, belonging to a typical Japanese courtyard, and the scenery is different in the four seasons.
