Awesome place to go see. A must go destination in Tokyo. It does get very busy so I recommend taking the train but there is parking available nearby too. So many cool thing to see here and do. A great day trip location. So many shops and restaurants and neat things to take pictures of.

Absolutely one of my favorite spots in Tokyo. Yes, very touristy but if you want iconic photos I'd argue this is THE spot for them. Lots of food and trinket vendors in the area and if you time it well, you may catch a local celebration which brings even more energy and food vendors to the area! As a bonus, you can purchase a range of blessings inside the temple. There are a range of Wonderful and historical items to view in this general area as well.

We went there at 8am as it is a stone away from our accommodation. It was raining that morning so maybe that is the reason why only a few tourists are there, and we pass by the stores that mostly close at that time. Lovely to see the intricate connection details, the big lantern, pagoda, and the main temple. After a short tour, we decided to buy some snacks that are filled with red beans and it was delicious. When we are heading outside the temple at 9am, we were greeted by the big influx of tourist.

The place was crowded but it was well worth it. Many stone carvings and statues around the grounds. There were lots of stands selling things or all types statues, mask, food and other souvenir worthy things. The temple itself was beautiful. A whole lotta red. You can pray or give thanks and they sell charms inside too.

The temple buildings and grounds are beautiful. The architecture is stunning, grounds immaculate, and vibe amazing for Tokyo. Coming from the main gate, you go through many vendors selling food, drinks, and souvenirs before you get to the temple itself. It's an extremely touristy in that area, and after early morning, it gets extremely busy and crowded. After you pass the crowds in the street market, it gets quieter so you can enjoy the temple itself more. So whether you go for the street vendor atmosphere or the temple itself, it's definitely worth a visit.

Visited before during the day in the past, felt like I was drifting in a sea of people, ha ha. This time I visited at night on a weekday and it was awesome; fewer people and the structures were far more vivid at night under both spotlight and moonlight. Surrounded by markets and restaurants, cool place for a late night stroll. Pagoda was my favourite structure overall, seemed like fewer people were interested in it for some reason.

Beautiful and must not be missed on your Tokyo trip. Best if you go early in the morning to avoid congestion at the temple. Arrive by 8am to enjoy and watch the shops open and begin to fill. Plan to spend a few hours here enjoying the architecture, traditions, food and other vendors. You will not be disappointed.

Sensoji is a very famous temple in Tokyo. Everyone knows this place. I often go to this place to shop at the shops around the temple or to take pictures with the beautiful scenery here. This place is always crowded with visitors especially on holidays. Many Japanese people come to pray at the shrine here. But for a foreigner like me, this place has become a favorite tourist spot in Tokyo.

This temple is a good start for new tourist to Japan. A long shopping street leading to the temple is nice for photos or souvenirs. sellers are nice, can speak English, offer Japanese stuff. The surrounding is full of restaurant and all kinds of Japanese food and desserts. Tourists are crowded in the front of the temple but getting inside will give you more air and better photos. You can also see Tokyo Tower from here.

One of the famous places must go in Tokyo, Japan. The shrine is crowded all the time; along the way to the main shrine, you will find souvenir shops where people shops for snacks and window shopping. Also, Japanese wears by travelers are also popular there. The shrine inside is less crowded and travelers are pay respect and meditation pray there for happiness and etc.

Very crowded and popular tourist attraction. I went on the weekend and I am sure it was much busier than on a weekday. I came by train and the station was very close and convenient and very crowded. Many tourists were dressed in traditional Japanese kimonos which made the experience particularly nice. The temple itself is very beautiful. There were a lot of people burning incense which I assume has some religious significance. Also there are these boxes that have fortune telling papers. You shake a container and randomly pull a stick out of it which has a number which tells you which drawer to get your fortune. The adjacent shopping area has a huge selection of shops selling traditional Japanese souvenirs and products. Also many restaurants offering primarily Japanese cuisine including Sushi restaurants. This tourist attraction is well worth a visit for the ambience alone but also for shopping and eating.

It was my first time at this beautiful temple. I was super busy, lots of people came to visit and definitely could see why. There were lots of small shops and food stalls. When you made it to the temple it was stunning. There was also lots of shine and a beautiful little garden you can walk through. I would definitely recommend coming to see this temple. Five out of five

You guys probably already know that this is an amazing great tourist attraction to visit. Even though the vendors are closed in the evening or at night, I recommend coming here at night as the shrine and temples are nicely lit and it is just different vibe compared to during the day. It is also less crowded for all the introverts who just want to enjoy a stroll. If you come at night when the shops are closed, you can see the mural paintings depicting the festivities that occur in the shrine throughout time. It is pretty cool.

This beautiful temple is not just a cultural marvel but also a hub for local businesses. Street like Food stalls to charming souvenir shops, it's a delightful marketplace. Consider renting a kimono for an immersive experience. We explored day and night; the crowd was manageable, and lines were short. The temple grounds are free, with stunning landscaping. While there's a fee for full temple access, the partial view is beautiful. A must-visit iconic spot for tourists in Tokyo, blending tradition with commerce.

An iconic location for Tokyo. A must visit for tourists. Tons of small shops around that sell food and goodies. You have to expect crowds. We went in the late evening, so we couldn’t get inside. Everything is beautiful and well maintained. You can pay 100 yens for trying a fortune. If you get a bad fortune, just fold it and tie it to the string. On a nice day you can see the Tokyo sky tree from there too.

It’s one of the main tourist attractions in Tokyo. Beautifully constructed temple in Tokyo. Lots of shops are available on both sides of the lane in the temple. It’s also called as Asakusa temple. Night view is really awesome. During Sakura season it’s a delight to see the beauty. It’s of the picturesque spots in Tokyo. Every photographer in Tokyo will atleast have 50-100 pics of Sensoji temple. It’s the first temple I visited in Tokyo. So I personally like this place. A must visit temple to any foreigner in Tokyo who believes in god.

It’s even more amazing at night. A definite must see for any traveler/tourist when visiting Tokyo. So many cool shops around the temple as well. Great place for photo opportunities and enjoying the whole Japanese experience.

Beautiful Buddhist temple, centrally located and easily accessible by public transport. Get there early in the day for a less crowded experience, however before 10/10.30AM you’ll likely find most of the shops still closed. You’ll find public restrooms and some food stalls. Food isn’t great but not bad either.

We came here ourselves and not with a tour group. This temple and the whole complex is bigger than we realised, and it was definitely worth coming to see and so remarkable. There were just far too many people at the main gate and along the main street leading to the main great. With the benefit of hindsight, we should have come here early in the day, and not mid afternoon. Absolutely stunning and definitely worth seeing, but be prepared for all the people.

During my visit to Tokyo, Japan in 2019. I had a wonderful time visiting and exploring the various cultural opportunities the country provided. Ranging from historical landmarks, to temples, to delicious food stalls and souvenir shops that offer a variety of goodies to take back home.

This place was bigger than I expected. We visited here on a National Holiday. It was crowded but we managed to move around easily. You can visit this place in 30 minutes or longer depending on the time you have. We spent about an hour here and I felt it was plenty of time. It's worth the visit, and there is no entry fee.

I love this place. It’s so relaxing and peaceful. There’s also many stores surrounding the temple where you can enjoy buying food, souvenirs, or just walking around. It remind me of a anime and feels unreal. We went late at night and there was still a lot of people and the surrounding of this temple have so much late lights restaurants. I love the atmosphere and highly recommend coming here.

Cool place, but it's a tourist trap. You need a paid guide to tell you where you can buy things at cheaper prices. The gates and overall market is cool, but not alike any other "Chinese town" (obviously this is japanese) from anywhere. Well on that point, I wish we had "Japanese towns" everywhere.

The must visit place in Tokyo in my opinion. This whole area is worth spending a day in. A perfect mix of old, and new. You will be amazed at the age and beauty here. This is what I thought Japan would be like. It is a little crowded but everyone was so nice and helpful. Shops everywhere with awesome souvenirs at every price range. You are missing out if you don't go here. Enjoy and best wishes.

The temple is truly majestic! Its grand, solid architecture and vibrant colors stand out. Particularly famous for its colossal lanterns at the entrance, guiding visitors into the magnificent hall. Surrounding the temple are numerous shops offering food and various trinkets. An enjoyable activity is dressing up in a Kimono and strolling toward the temple for picturesque moments. You'll find several excellent rental shops near the entrance. Located just a 10-minute walk from the rail station, plan for 1-2 hours to explore the temple and its surroundings. If you're opting for the Kimono experience, allocate a generous 3-4 hours for a leisurely stroll. They also offer handwritten goshuin, making it a definite must-visit.

Very busy with lots of families. But honestly, it just gave off a lively experience. There are market shops and little food stalls along the main walkway. The temple is simply impressive. Beautiful architecture. I loved reading the signs about the history. Finding out that I had a “regular fortune” for ¥100 was honestly hilarious and nothing short of expected. Overall, it was a great experience and I definitely recommend.

Came in the morning and night, and was surprised at how different the vibes are. Hands down I liked night better as it’s more tranquil and more temple vibes compared to morning where there are so many tour groups even though we came at 9am. The temple looks nice when lit up too. Maybe it’s nicer if the sky is clear as we went on a cloudy day. See pictures for comparison. Can go there both morning and night to see the difference for yourself.

Beautiful temple providing a nice oasis amidst the bustling Tokyo city, but extremely packed with tourists. The otherwise peaceful nature of the temples and the garden are not noticeable amongst the chaotic crowds jostling for the best angle for a photo op. Leading up to and encircling the temple grounds are vendors galore - food, snacks, trinkets, souvenirs, you name it. I stopped and got some street food nearby which was pretty good and capped my visit to Asakusa by walking along the waterway to admire the cherry blossom trees. As long as you don’t mind the crazy crowds, then this is a must-see spot in Tokyo.

Went here early morning November 2023. The best time to go is really early in the day, otherwise it would be packed and difficult to go through. Lots of shops leading up to the temple but they look like tourist traps. The temple though is beautiful, even the gardens outside. A bit further out is a memorial garden dedicated to haiku poets.

Must visit shrine in Tokyo! It's really crowded during the day, but it didn't really bother us very much. I also really recommend going at night, where the shrine is lit up beautifully. There's also food stalls and shop in the streets around the shrine and the area is very beautiful. Don't miss this place when coming to Tokyo!!

Must-go place in Tokyo. Even though the place was extremely crowded, we enjoyed the Asakusa temples and neighborhood. Along the way you will find many unique vendors and fun eateries. So many people walked around with beautiful kimono. Highly recommend this place to visit while in Tokyo.

My hubby and I visited the temple during the day and at night. If you want to see the temple without the crowds (and be able to read the signs), I'd highly recommend going early in the morning (before 8am) or at night. It's an incredible temple and regardless of your religious or spiritual views, it will be worth the visit.

The temple as well as the Asakusa neighborhood are beautiful, although the latter can feel a bit touristy. It is a very popular destination in Tokyo, a must see, so even though we arrived relatively early (8 AM), the place was already pretty crowded making it hard to take good photos and enjoy the site. It probably didn't help that it was on a week-end, during cherry blossom season. By 10 AM, the place was so packed that it was hard to move around, let alone take any photos. So lesson learn, better arrive early to beat the crowd and have a more pleasant experience.

Beautiful temple to visit. I highly recommend it. It a huge temple, I didn’t get to explore all of it, but I saw what I wanted. Please make sure that you are respectful, ask for permission if you feel unsure about something. The monks are friendly if you see them walking around. But please ask for their permission before taking a picture. If they’re in the middle of a prayer definitely do not interrupt or interfere. Sad that I have to say that but you do have individual that really just don’t care. The gift shop is amazing. Fun little gift at reasonable prices that you can get in bulk as friends and family.

Beautiful temple with a great view of the Tokyo tower and lots of cute talismans to buy inside! Great place to relax and feel the good energy. The sun smiles upon this place.

Serene and beautiful, tidy and well organized compound. Only a short walk from Tokyo Tower, great spot for taking photos of the iconic tower and (with) the temple

The Most pleasant surprise from my very first trip to Japan. A friend recommended this Buddhism temple for its location (next to Tokyo tower), ancient history and the garden full of stone baby sculptures from families whose prayers for descendant got fulfilled. And as luck would have it, we witnessed the 850th anniversary of its founding day, with a huge celebration of monks and believers from all over the country. The proceedings was as culturally traditional as it gets, and all audiences were awed and can’t believe the perseverance of its heritage since that long ago. I am going back to that country soon.

Historical place and major shrine in Japan located near to Tokyo tower and Hamamatsucho station. Interesting place and nice to see the Japanese architecture style shrine. Shrine is well maintained and very peaceful and good to visit this temple for tourists

There are probably a ton of reviews about this place, but I just have to say this place was the first major temple I visited during my trip to Tokyo and it didn't disappoint. I think it might get crowded during peak season and timings, but I visited around 10am and the crowd was relatively okay. I got off from Daimon Station which is on the Oedo line, and had to walk about 10 mins to the temple. It was morning so it wasn't that hot yet so it was a pleasant walk. You definitely won't miss the temple - there will be a towering brown gate that will greet you from a mile away. One famous feature of the temple is the fact that you can see both the main temple hall and the Tokyo tower in the same frame. Take the time to look around as well - there is an interesting section dedicated to honouring children (they do explain what that is). Overall, it will take about an hour if you take your time to properly explore your surroundings. Definitely recommended if it's your first time in Tokyo!

A beautiful temple with the distinctive feature of having Tokyo Tower standing tall behind the main hall. For American tourists like myself, the temple also contains two trees of note, one being planted by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1879, and the other by President George H. W. Bush in 1982. Inside the main hall, the atmosphere was very serene, with several rows of chairs set up in front of the main display should you wish to sit. I certainly recommend visiting if you're able!

A very large buddha temple and the area is very wide. There are many beautiful parks around it. The scenery is very beautiful especially with the Tokyo Tower, this temple becomes even more beautiful. In autumn many trees turn red. So pretty. The very large gate that is on the side of the main road is also very interesting.

A temple that has gone through decades and eras, yet still remain well reserved. The surrounding, the trees, the entire landscape, tranquility is the word to accurately describe Zolo-ji Temple. In fact, the minute I stepped into this temple, I can immediately felt that there’s a sense of calmness that ease my mind and appears to sweep away my unwanted worries. Thanks to the customer service officer from the Japan tourism board, I managed to hop on Tokyo Monorail and wrapped up my tour at Zolo-ji Temple in such a meaningful & peaceful manner. Highly recommend to tourists who have hours to kill before catching the returning flight. May peace be with you as well!

Quiet and peaceful temple, also, second general’s cemetery is there. Although treasure temple is closed due to building reinforcements, we can still enjoy views there :3

Only quite an average temple by Japanese standards, but a wonderful position underneath the Tokyo Tower makes for some spectacular views. Not too crowded when we visited on a weekday evening, so possible to get some clear photographs.

One of the best place for getting good shot of Tokyo tower. It is consider quite inaccessible by using public transport, 10-15 minutes walk from subway station, that makes it relatively quiet in Tokyo city.

This is a very pretty temple located in Shiba Koen. The surrounding park is well worth a stroll as it has many smaller areas where you can find a little privacy. The temple has prayer sessions thare public (no photography allowed), and behind it is a graveyard which you can visit at a small fee. Under the main building is an exhibit which is part of the Japanese national heritage exhibit, on display at various museums. The Tokyo Tower is a nice backdrop and contrast to the temple. An additional plus is that Shiba Koen isn’t much of a tourist spot, which is nice. In the park itself people enjoy Sakura parties during the March-April timeframe.

This was the first temple we visited during New Year's day. The place has a lot of interesting things to see such as a short program of a monkey doing tricks as well as food stalls that were located at the side of the area. The area was crowded but it is to be expected but one can still go to the temple proper without any line.The Tokyo tower can also be seen from behind.

The majestic main gate and towering pagoda create a sense of reverence as soon as you enter. Don't miss the opportunity to stroll through the temple grounds and take in the stunning views of Tokyo Tower.

Very beautiful temple. I went early in the morning around 9 am, and there weren't many people. There was service going on in the temple, and I was able to watch everything thru the open doors on the side of the temple. Watching them perform their ceremony was quite peaceful and beautiful, one of the best experiences I had in Tokyo.

I would say my fav template in Tokyo and surprised why it’s not very crowded. The temple, its garden and the backdrop of Tokyo tower it’s so beautiful and a great place to take some amazing pictures. The park has a coffeeshop inside and a short walk to Tokyo tower. Definitely visit this temple if you are in the area.

Lovely temple that can be visited when going to Tokyo tower. Unusually photographs can be taken inside the main hall. In the grounds are small statues dedicated to babies & children who sadly died.

Namo Amituofo,Namo Amitabha, great temple , must see, thank you so much

A wonderful temple that lets you see the wonderful statue of Buddha. It is truly dignified, affordable and boring! !! And the fun of Enma-do is also fun! ! I was allowed to cool in the main hall. the 9 Buddhas outside the main hall are also wonderful. I pray that the restoration will continue without interruption ❤️

A beautiful and quiet temple located in Tokyo..! It is beautiful in all the seasons. You can enter in to the main temple and see charm of the Buddha closely. Enma Daiou sama gives life lesson on offering him a coin!

Huge temple in a small unassuming neighborhood. Worth a stop. Great for relaxing or reading while enjoying nature in a peaceful setting. Tons of seating.

I had a great time here. It was a good time to visit.

Nice historical temple located in Kuhombutsu. Very large plot of land which I was extremely surprised about considering it’s in Tokyo.

Temple complex with several buildings in a large open space. Not too busy even at New Years. Enjoyable walk from Den-en-chofu station through back roads.

Amazing place~ Has loads for kids to learn, library so that kids can dig into info. The meteorite, rocks, and mineral collection is amazing! The have live dinosaurs roaring and moving which blows kid's mind and the aquarium is not so small and saw the crabs fight each other! There is other great stuff like the outdoor experience but you will have to go for yourself 😉

Was pretty good. I only saw the indoors and only very less of outdoors so I know only know a little bit about the outdoors-it was out seasoned. I recommend you to not go outdoors/ buy the “Only Outdoor” ticket in winter. Please buy this ticket in any season but winter. The indoors was amazing. There were dinosaur bones, rocks, fossils, whatnot. Overall rating-4.3/5star. Other seasons but winter-4.8-9/5star Recommendation to come here-75%/100%. Other seasons but winter-95%/100%.

Very nice museum! Weekends elementary kids get In free, check webpages for changes!

Great place to take elementary school students and younger children. There are many exciting events always happening. The dinosaurs on display are huge. Facilities are clean. Staffa are friendly. It’s possible to spend the whole day there.

Such a fabulous museum full of engaging exhibits! My 4 year old and I spent a longer time at the museum than we originally expected, as there was just so much to explore…and we didn’t even make it to the outdoors space. Couldn’t recommend more!

I strongly recommend here to family with small children. My daughter (3 y/o) who likes Jurassic Park are really excited to see dinosaurs though younger daughter cried with that. I think this is more interesting for children who start to learn about earth science. We can enjoy not only indoor, but also outdoor space. We visited here beginning of April. At that time, we could see really beautiful cherry blossoms and children enjoyed playing on the filed. It's only 1 hour from center of Tokyo by car. Strongly recommended.

Nice park and very educational museum. Lovely day out for kids. Entry to park only yen 200 for adults. For museum, yen750 for adults. Don't take balls or other sports equipment into the park, they are not allowed because of possible damage to sensitive flora. Note you can carry food and a picnic basket. Hotdog stand inside pay area. Plenty of packing. Stones throw away from Noda City across Tone river so plenty of good restaurants in Noda.

It’s big inside the museum,so much to see.Nice staffs.The park around it was si nice.You can eat outside and have a picnic.There’s a place where you can eat your lunch too inside.kids and adults too can enjoy this place.The trampoline is closed but it’s ok.kids can play outside.

Many dinosaurs, very special museum, also many interesting information about the local area of Ibaraki. In addition, there is a large outdoor area. All the people can have a lot of fun to get close to nature.

Nature museum suitable for adults and for children age 5 and over. Astronomy, space research, biology, currently living animals, geology, moving dinosaurs and more. Some of the computer screen games are a bit old, but they are still pedagogical, relevant and interesting. The games are also good for Japanese language learners that are interested in nature, since they are simplified for children. Restaurant and a big parking lot.

One of the oldest Shinto shrine and was named as an Otaku Pilgrimages because of the anime and manga Lucky Star. You can go there via the Tobu Isesaki line and drop off at Washinomiya station.

from wikipedia The oldest record of the shrine was found in the Azuma Kagami, the official historical record for the Kamakura Shogunate. It had the patronage of the Imperial family, and even Shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu. Various folk-culture and performing art events, including the Saibara-Kagura Festival are held here. Its traditional dance handed down through generations has been designated as a national intangible folk-culture asset. The shrine also houses several ancient relics. During the New Year season, the shrine receives no fewer than 100,000 visitors. The torii gate of the shrine collapsed in 2018.

It's a nice place to visit. A solemn place. The view is good. Unfortunately at the moment the Shrine is under construction

Come for the anime, stay for the scenery. This is a sacred pilgrimage location for Lucky Star, and is canonically the shrine at which Kagami Hiiragi is a shrine maiden. On the street leading to the main entrance, there is Lucky Star signage on the lampposts, and there are many anime-themed ema in the shrine grounds. In addition to the elements of anime motif, the shrine itself is a beautiful location, in both appearance and feeling. The main building is in the open, but there are also smaller buildings in the surrounding forest; the forest has several walking trails. On some visits, it may be possible to hear traditional instruments being played from inside the main building. It may be a tad remote for some travelers, but this location is undoubtedly worth the visit- irreverent of watching Lucky Star or not.

The shrine has a long history in Kanto region. Especially its traditional ritual dance performance called "Kagura(神楽)" has been well-known. In 2007, Japanese emperor invited Denmark King to show the Kagura. thus the shrine has an ancient and honorable origin. However the fans of famous Manga "Raki Suta", visit to the shrine, add a new color to the shrine In a positive way.

Beautiful place to visit ✌️🫰🥰 This temple is mentioned in one of the anime series haha 🧧🎎🎑🎍🏮👘🛖🏯⛩️

Came due to my love of Lucky Star, but this place is so peaceful.

This shrine has old history. And it was used in the comic named "Raki Suta."
