Sensō-ji

Mentioned on 
Buddhist temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Sensō-ji, Tokyo's oldest temple, was constructed in 645 to honor Kannon, the goddess of mercy. It is located in Asakusa, a spiritual and historical center of the city. The temple features a 3.3-meter-high red paper lantern and incense believed to have healing properties. Surrounding the temple is a vibrant street market offering various traditional items for sale.
Beautiful temple The shopping street and district around it are full of life. There are plenty of restaurants to dine at, cafes to eat at, shops to buy souvenirs from.. if you like Shiba, I'd recommend checking out one of the Shiba Cafe nearby Note, it's extremely crowded on New Years, and entering the temple to pray can easily take an hour or more. Enjoy!

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.
Mo — Google review
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.
Phuong Nguyen — Google review
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
Devine Prasad — Google review
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.
Matthew Pascual — Google review
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.
Ricardo Santos — Google review
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.

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.
Judy McConnell — Google review
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.
My Lam — Google review
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.
Cesar Alejandro Arias Canto — Google review
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.
Kevin Jiles — Google review
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.
Seah Jia Hui — Google review
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.
Matt Smith — Google review
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.
Mary Paz Iris Villanueva — Google review
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.
Amy Kang — Google review
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.
Tash Leam — Google review
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.

Gokuraku-ji, an ancient Buddhist temple established in 1259, is situated amidst serene and picturesque gardens. The temple's traditional architecture boasts a small, unassuming white structure located near the Enoden train station. Although not particularly remarkable, it is definitely worth visiting if one happens to be in the vicinity.
Small and white temple behind the Enoden train. Nothing special but worth stopping by if in the area.

Daiyuzan Saijoji Temple

Mentioned on 
Buddhist temple
Sights & Landmarks
Daiyuzan Saijoji Temple is a serene complex of Buddhist temples and shrines situated amidst an ancient forest of tall cedar trees. This temple belongs to the Soto sect of Buddhism and has more than 4,000 schools across the nation. The hillside houses an array of temples surrounded by streams and water features. Daiyuzan Saijoji Temple is breathtaking in any season, especially during autumn when the leaves turn into colorful hues.
This is probably the best temple I've seen in Japan which is as form of Buddhism called Soutoushu. In Autumn the colors are amazing and set amongst an amazing forest the trees are incredibly big over 500 years old and really something out of a surreal fantasy movie. The temples and the entire precinct are amazing because they are set on a hillside and there are few steps to climb vut will and truly worth the visit. Again this Temple is set off the normal tourist beaten track and one for the locals but do yourself a favour and see this temple. Set in gold It's amazing and everything you think Japan should be, immaculate, heart felt and beautiful.
Brendan Carroll — Google review
The temple is a vast complex to explore - the highlights are the giant red flip flops or geta. The main temple has a very colorful hall with magenta and red decoration along with an ornate gold chandelier, very dramatic. The century old structures are well preserved and intricate. The winged and beak kami is different from other temples as well. Free parking is available. Overall, I will return in the fall, I saw many Japanese maple trees on site and it would be gorgeous during momiji season.

Literally one of my favourite places in the world. Temples scattered on the hillside among soaring cedar trees and an assortment of streams and water features. Beautiful in any season, but especially autumn for the colourful leaves. Similarly stunning in heavy rain and when covered in snow

(Translated by Google) Myojingatake, Kamiyama, and Kintokiyama can be seen side by side like three brothers. Mt. Fuji is also perfect, so it is a mountain you want to climb on a sunny day. The distance from Jizo-do is short, but the road is steep. It might be a little easier from Manyo Park. However, the steep slope from Yamabushidaira is waiting anyway. (Original) 明神ヶ岳、神山、金時山が三兄弟の様に並んで見える。 富士山もバッチリなので、天気の良い日に登りたい山です。 地蔵堂からだと距離は短いけど、道は急。 万葉公園からの方が、ちょっとだけ楽かも。 ただし、どっちみち山伏平からの急坂は待っているけど。

(Translated by Google) From Jizo-do, I took the Ashigara Kodo, descended Yagurazawa, and then ascended from the Yagurazawa route. At an altitude of 870 meters, it's quite a tiring climb as it continues to climb. The view from the top is good. You can see Mt. Kintoki, Owakudani, and Kamiyama, and the city center and Sagami Bay spread out to your left. I thought there would be a turret, but there wasn't. Pay attention to the return bus time. (Original) 地蔵堂から足柄古道を通り、矢倉沢を下り、その後矢倉沢ルートから登った。 870メートルの標高で、登りが続くので結構しんどい。頂上からの景色は良い。金時山や大涌谷、神山が見え、左手には市街地や相模湾が拡がる。櫓があると思っていたが、無かった。帰りのバスの時間に注意。

(Translated by Google) There is a parking lot at Jizo-do, which is the starting point for climbing, and there are plenty of guide signs so you can easily enter the trail. It's a fairly steep climb, but it takes about an hour and a half to reach the summit. The top of the mountain is open, and it is a scenic spot overlooking Sagami Bay, the Hakone Mountain Range, and Mt. Fuji. Hiking trails continue from here to Ashigara Castle, Mt. Ashigara, Hamaiba Castle Ruins, and the Prefectural 21st Century Forest, so you can set the course according to your physical fitness.

(Translated by Google) From Shin-Matsuda, I took a bus to Jizo-do and climbed up from there. If you enter the side street of Manyo Udon, you will reach a mountain trail. At first, it felt like a gentle forest road for about an hour and a half through a forested area, but from Yamabushi Pass, it started to feel like a mountain trail. It had snowed a few days before, and on this day there was quite a bit of fresh snow on top of Yamabushi Pass, but I guess it's a mountain that is usually used as an "observation deck" where locals can easily go. From the top of the mountain, you can see not only Mt. Fuji, but also Mt. Kintoki and Sagami Bay. There was no wind that day, but isn't the sea breeze often blowing from Sagami Bay? In winter, even though it's a low mountain, it's a good idea to take measures to protect yourself from the cold. You can also go through Ashigara Pass, but in that case you will need to walk to Ashigara Station. Since it's a low mountain, it can be humid in the summer, so I think it's a mountain suitable for cooler to colder seasons. (Original) 新松田からバスで地蔵堂に行きそこから登りました。万葉うどんの脇道を入っていくと登山道になります。 最初は一時間半ほど緩やかな植林帯の林道という感じでしたが、山伏峠からは登山道という印象になります。 数日前に雪が降り、この日は山伏峠上にかなり新雪が残っている状態でしたが、普段は地元の人が気楽に行ける”展望台”的な山なのでしょう。 山頂からは富士山はもちろん、金時山から相模湾まで一望できます。この日は無風でしたが、相模湾から海風が吹く事も多いのではないでしょうか?冬は低山とは言え防寒対策した方が良いと思います。 足柄峠の方にも抜けられますが、その場合徒歩で足柄駅まで歩く必要があります。低山だけに夏は蒸すと思いますので、涼しい~寒い季節向きの山ではないでしょうか?

(Translated by Google) In October, I tried it with my daughter, who is in second grade. Unfortunately, I ran out of time and gave up. It wasn't a very steep climb and I thought we could go at a faster pace, but it seemed like it was difficult for my daughter to walk. The path is easy to understand so you don't have to worry about getting lost, but there were some places along the way where the path was broken and difficult to walk. Also, from the branch that goes to Manyo Park, you have to go down to the stream and cross the river, which is easy for adults but can be difficult for small children. The road was mostly planted with trees, but there were some open areas along the way, so you could enjoy the scenery. (Original) 10月に、小学2年生の娘とトライしました。残念ながら、時間切れで途中断念しました。それほど急登もなく、もう少し早いペースで行けるかと思ったのですが、娘には歩きづらかったようです。道は分かりやすく迷う心配はないですが、途中道が崩れ歩きづらいところがところどころありました。また、万葉公園へ行く分岐から沢に降り、川を渡るんですが、大人だとなんともないですが、小さい子供は苦労します。全体的に植林が多い道でしたが、途中ところどころ開けたところもあり、景色め眺められます。

(Translated by Google) I took a round trip from Ashigara Manyo Park. The climb is gradual, with only the steep climb just before the summit being difficult. After that, it's time for a leisurely and quiet lunch on the long, wide mountaintop. You can see Sagami Bay, the Hakone somma mountain range spreads out in front of you, and if the weather is clear, you can even see a panoramic view of Mt. Fuji. It is a gentle low mountain that is easy to climb but very satisfying.

(Translated by Google) Deity enshrined: Japan Takeru (Yamato Takeru no Mikoto) Ninigi no Mikoto Amaterasu Omikami honorable history: Although the year in which Ashigara Shrine was founded is unknown, it is said to be a god that appeared in the form of a white deer on the return trip of Japan's Takeru to the east, and was enshrined at Ashigara Pass under the name Ashigaru Myojin (Ashigaru Myojin). The ``Kanagawa Prefecture Shrine Journal'' states that it was founded in the 3rd year of Tenkei (940). Around the 2nd year of Kenmu (1335), when Takauji Ashikaga and Yoshisada Nitta fought, it is stated in the ``Umematsu Ron'' that Yoshisada Nitta took up camp in the fields south of Ashigara Myojin Shrine, but before he knew it, he was transferred to Mt. Yagura. , it was called Yagura Myojin Shrine. It is said that our company had already been moved to Yagurazawa by the time of Zen Master Ryōan, who opened Saijoji in 1394, and was enshrined as the guardian deity of the 18 villages in the area, known as Yagurazawago. When the company status was established after the Meiji Restoration, it was promoted to Gosha. Renamed Ashigara Shrine in 1939, it is the general guardian of Minami Ashigara.

(Translated by Google) A quiet shrine along the Ashigara Kodo. It has its origins in Ashigara Myojin, written by Yamato Takeru in the Kojiki, and was located on Ashigara Pass when it was first established. After that, it was moved to Mt. Yagura and then to the current location of Karino at the end of the Kamakura period. The long sloped approach from the prefectural road was built in modern times. The climb is difficult, but the view is spectacular. (Original) 足柄古道沿いの静かな神社。古事記のヤマトタケルによる足柄明神が由緒で創建当初は足柄峠にありました。その後矢倉岳へ、そして鎌倉時代末期に現在の苅野へ遷座してます。 県道からの長い坂道の参道は近代にできたもの。登るのは大変ですが眺めが素晴らしいです。

(Translated by Google) If you go by car, you'll have to climb a fairly narrow road. The construction of the building is very elaborate! (Original) 車だと結構な細い道を登ります。建物の造作がとても凝ってますね!

(Translated by Google) Although it is a local shrine, it is an ordinary shrine that has been cleaned normally. However, I think it's a shrine that seems to have something going for it. (Original) 地元の神社ですが、普通に掃除された普通の神社です。 でも、何かがありそうな神社だと思います。

(Translated by Google) Ashigara Shrine is a set with Ashigara Castle Ruins. It doesn't feel like it's very good, but it's a pretty good shrine. It is located at the bottom of Ashigara Pass. Ashigara Castle Ruins is on top of the mountain pass. God is neither good nor bad... Sorry God. . . (Original) 足柄神社は足柄城址とセットで。 凄く良いという感じではないですが…地味に良い神社です。足柄峠の下の方に有ります。足柄城址は峠の上です。 神様に良いも悪いもありませんよね… スミマセン神様。。。

(Translated by Google) The road leading to the shrine grounds is narrow and cars cannot pass each other, but there is a place where you can make a U-turn just before the shrine grounds, which was helpful! It seems to be the shrine where the name of the escort ship "Ashigara" comes from. (Original) 境内までの道幅狭く、車のすれ違いは出来ないが、境内手前でUターンする箇所があり助かりました!護衛艦「あしがら」の由来になってる神社のようです。

(Translated by Google) This shrine has been around for a long time and is extremely well-known as it is also used as the name of a ship. However, there are relatively few people visiting because of poor transportation. The name Ashigara itself was the name of a fairly wide area, encompassing from Odawara to part of Shizuoka Prefecture. I came here while walking around a place called Jizo-do Hall. I think I climbed a lot of stairs. The shrine building was well-crafted and the grounds were well-maintained. I arrived there while taking a walk from Jizo-do Hall. The usual means of transportation is a bus from Shin-Matsuda or Mt. Daiyu. The car seems a little troublesome. Kannondo is also next door, so it might be a good idea to stop by. (Original) 昔からあり、艦艇の名前のなどにも使われて抜群の知名度の神社。 でも、交通の便が悪いので訪れる人は、わりと少ないです。 足柄という名前自体は、小田原から静岡県の一部までを含むかなり広い地域名になっていました。 自分はるか地蔵堂というところこら、散策しながらここにたどり着きました。階段を結構登ったと思います。 社殿は、細工がしっかりしてあり、境内も手入れされてました。 自分は地蔵堂から散策しながらたどり着きました。 交通の手段は普通に、新松田か大雄山からバスですかね。車は、少し面倒くさそうです。 観音堂も隣にあるので、寄ってみるのも良いのでは。

(Translated by Google) It is a magnificent shrine located on a hill. It seems that the name of the escort ship "Ashigara" also comes from this shrine (ФωФ) (Original) 高台にある立派な神社です。護衛艦「あしがら」の名前もこちらの神社からきてるみたいです(ФωФ)
