Visit Sensoji Temple in Tokyo

“After a fulfilling meal at Tempura Daikokuya, K and I thought we would have a nice, peaceful visit to Sensoji Temple. You know, take some pretty photos, soak up the culture, maybe buy a cute souvenir or two. Well, that plan went straight out the window the moment we stepped onto the main street! (´-ω-`) What we found instead was what felt like half of Tokyo crammed into one area on a Sunday afternoon. But here’s the thing – even with all that chaos, Sensoji is still absolutely worth seeing.”

“Making our way through the crowd is exhausting, but eventually we made it all the way to the entrance where there were even MORE people. [...] Trusting our host was probably one of the best decisions we made. Although a little touristy, Sensō-ji is not only gorgeous but also a very interesting experience, from a historical and cultural point of view. Places like these are always so mind-boggling to me. I can't imagine how buildings are built today - even with all the technology, so building this with no modern gadgets?! Mindblown. It's all so perfectly put together!”
