Sensoji Temple

Here comes the ultimate one-day itinerary for exploring Tokyo's Asakusa! ✨ This old district brimming with Edo-period charm perfectly blends tradition and modernity, making it an absolute must-visit in Tokyo. 🚶‍♀️Recommended classic route: 9:00 AM: Kaminarimon Gate photo stop📍 Must take photos with the giant red lantern! Arrive early to avoid crowds. The Nakamise Shopping Street nearby opens at 10am, so you can take photos around the area first 📸 10:30 AM: Stroll and snack at Nakamise Shopping Street🍡 This 200-meter-long historic street is perfect for shopping! Recommended: - Ningyo-yaki: Asakusa's most famous souvenir - Age-manju: Freshly fried and super crispy - Matcha ice cream: Authentic Uji matcha flavor 12:00 PM: Visit Sensoji Temple🙏 Remember to purify your hands at the chozuya first. Tossing a 5-yen coin for wishes is said to be very effective! If you draw a bad fortune, tie it on the designated rack. 2:00 PM: Sumida River cruise🚢 Departing from Asakusa Pier, we recommend the "Tokyo Waterfront Line" route. On clear days you can see beautiful reflections of Tokyo Skytree! 4:00 PM: Tokyo Skytree Sky View🏙️ Overlook all of Tokyo from the 350m-high observation deck. Best visited at dusk to catch both sunset and night views ✨ 🍱Must-try foods: - Daikokuya Tempura: The shrimp tempura at this century-old shop is amazing! Address: 1-38-10 Asakusa, Taito-ku - Asakusa Menchi: Super juicy fried meat cutlet Address: 2-3-3 Asakusa, Taito-ku 💡Practical tips: 1️⃣ Book kimono rentals in advance! Recommended "Asakusa Aiwafuku" for great variety and service 2️⃣ Weekends get extremely crowded - weekdays are better if possible 3️⃣ Free observation deck at Asakusa Culture Center rooftop - a hidden photo spot 4️⃣ Visit before 7am to photograph Kaminarimon Gate without crowds
