Kay 5November 19, 2016One of the gates to Sensoji temple. To reach the temple, you will pass by Nakamise st., a traditional shopping street that offers many souvenirs, Kimonos & sweets.. *you will spot many wearing Kimonos

Jamie KohNovember 2, 2016The lantern is huge! There's a stretch of stalls selling souvenirs, renting kimonos for tourist to try them out. It's a must to try the melon bun! They sell them while it's hot!

Aaron AllonDecember 27, 2018Check our all the small streets and shops around the temple. A little touristy but also neat. Get a warm rice cracker from a street vendor.
Harumi UNovember 13, 2014If you are in "shitamachi" area of Tokyo, this is a must. You enter the gate, walk though a street full of shops, see a smoky tripod (get some smoke on you) and then pray!- ZaraFebruary 5, 2015It's always crowded here, but the shopping street is lovely. Get some traditional Japanese sweets here. Try the fortunes! Inside of the temple sometimes closed for private ceremonies.
Terry WongMay 15, 2016good to visit there, the area is so peaceful and full of local food to try. don't forget to have a fortune sticky draw, it tells your future
Martin StahlOctober 9, 2014After your Buddhist experience go-to the Sake Bar "Daimasu" (half way on the right on your way back just on the corner of the arcade) Checkout their tasting menu! (you may smoke inside)
A HazetOctober 29, 2019This instagramable gate with its lantern & statues is the most popular to tourists. this gate is the outer of two large entrance gates that leads to the Sensō-ji through nakamishe dori #TravelingTokyo
Elise ❥December 31, 2016Definitely the place for Japanese shopping. You can find souvenirs, kimonos, knives, swords and more. Heaps of Japanese sweets too.
Chris MunnsFebruary 12, 2016Really fantastic to see this representation of old Tokyo and Japanese culture. Was crowded and the shops in front were packed, even early.
Jon PressmanJanuary 1, 2016Huge but orderly crowds on New Year's Day. A must do. Beautiful shrine. Fun to get your fortune told.
Bruce GarberOctober 23, 2015Great photo opportunities by day and night. Shopping is a plus as well depending what you are looking for.
Maia WailanaDecember 18, 2013best days to go here is during the week and go early to avoid the crowd.
Robert LuNovember 28, 2015I almost don't remember all the image that I came here 10 years ago. The surrounding area changes a lot. Maybe it's because of I plan for the visit this time.
Shannon ChowSeptember 15, 2014Lovely view of the Skytree and a great place to visit. The temple closes around early evening.- welovetaitoOctober 26, 2011It is the outer of two large entrance gates to the Sensō-ji in Asakusa. The gate, with its big red lantern and 2 statues of God of Thunder and God of Wind, is popular with tourists.
Yuen HawJune 11, 2017Get here earlier in the morning or during the night to take photos with less of a crowd in it.
Julia MonahanMarch 13, 2014we went a little after sunset. the pagoda and temple are lit up wonderfully and not a lot of people around.
Mike HughesAugust 20, 2017Great, just don't go on a weekend. It's gets insanely busy and parts of the temple are closed to tourists
eyeontOctober 13, 2011Worth to see and feel this gate and Soseji Temple including the shopping around this area. Don't missed.
JonesAugust 8, 2014This place is a must-see for every tourist coming to Tokyo. Get one of those Japanese sweets that are sold here.
September RomanFebruary 13, 2016The street side is a choke point opens you to all the vendors hocking their wares, whether that be rides, food, or religion. Enter quickly to check out the tourist shops on the walk to the temple.
Meredith PeruzziSeptember 2, 2011Enjoy the shopping arcades between the gate and the Senso-ji Temple.
