Sensoji Temple Japan




One of the oldest temple in Tokyo City, located in the town of Akasuka. To reach here, we had to travel by train for at least 15 minutes on the Oedo Line to Kurame and from the station you could easily walk to the temple around 10 minutes. 

The temple has a distinctive combination of Japanese and Chinese architecture. Here people flock in to pray and to offer coins into a donation that is said to grant your blessing or wishes. The Sensoji temple is also lined with a row of small shops selling various Japanese items like fans, kimonos and chopsticks.    Don't try to mess around in this area, security cameras are facing you at every angle. 

Entrance to the temple is free of charge, however several areas like the praying section are not allowed to visitors. Photography is recommend here.
