When traveling across the ocean to Tokyo, Japan, the strategy is to recommend the Shallow Cao Temple, then we should see what the difference between Japanese temples and domestic temples is. The best thing about free travel is that the journey can be arranged freely, so you can go to Shallow Cao Temple by tram at will. To understand this place, we must mention visiting the Shallow Grassland Cultural Area opposite Shallow Grassland Temple. There is the culture of the whole Shallow Grassland Area, the trajectory of its development process, the thick road reflecting history, and the expression of every inch of the place can tell a story. Most noteworthy is the roof of the cafe, transparent floor glass, facing the Shallow Cao Temple panorama, will soon be able to experience the effect of three points in the building, and its shock. If only to the temple is to visit here, then there is no more in-depth understanding of this shallow grass temple. Walking into Shallow Grass Temple, there are many shops outside, unified specifications, as for the things sold, I feel that there is no characteristic, they are very basic, familiar, common objects, maybe I have seen too much. What attracts people outside is not shopping, but the traditional tricycle-pulling industry. Domestic rickshaw drivers, as the traditional characteristic propaganda crowd, uniform clothing, inherent professional skin color and body, Japanese people are not very tall and powerful, most of them are short and sharp. The characteristics of these groups can be seen and summarized. The rickshaw driver also has women, which surprises me. The equipment is complete and the car is exquisite, which embodies the Japanese style. The gate of Shallow Cao Temple has a large lantern, which is reflected in many visitors'diaries. Leimen is equivalent to the main gate of Shallow Cao Temple in Jinlong Mountain. The red lacquer eight-legged gate is a typical wide-sided tile roof. The wind and the second general of Leimen are majestic at the entrance of the main gate. Leimen's most famous lantern is the huge lantern hanging in front of the door. The word "Leimen" on the black and white edges can be seen from afar, which is striking. Shallow grass Temple worships Guanyin Benzu. Many people like to draw lots here. If they encounter bad ones, they will fold them directly on special shelves. There are some holy water and other meanings for tourists to wash away dirt. What attracts people is the incense burner, which has no smoke, looks like the type of electromagnetic oven, and technology is refreshing. Of course, temples and towers, shrines do not introduce interested ones to watch by themselves. There are many shopping places, the price is cheaper than Akihabara and downtown Tokyo, but it is more expensive than near Haneda Airport, so I can weigh it myself.

    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.

    place filled with culture and history!! visited pretty late around 4pm and the crowd seemed to have died down a little. However, majority of shops have closed as well.

    I've been to Sensoji three times. Every time I go to Japan and Tokyo, I always stop by there. It's a busy area, it's super busy. But like the vibe. Right and left there are many small stalls selling various kinds of Japanese snacks and accessories too

    Asakusa Temple, in fact, I have been there several years ago, but this time I stayed at the hotel. It only takes 15 minutes to walk from Asakusa Temple. It is regarded as a city walk. Come to Sensoji Temple to feel the strong Japanese cultural atmosphere. The most striking is still Leimen, and the bustling commercial street leading to Sensoji Temple. After the epidemic, it was also very interesting to suddenly feel the crowds.

    The most representative Guanyin Temple in the Edo period, it is rumored that the earliest establishment of the Shangjia used to seek wealth is very practical, and later the Shangjia gathered, seeking wealth and children, etc., the incense is getting more and more prosperous so far! From Zhongjian Commercial Street, walk for about 7.8 minutes to reach the landmark building of Sensoji Temple Leimen, be sure to leave a shadow (=^^=)
