- Senso-ji Temple - As a symbol of Asakusa tourism, Senso-ji Temple offers a chance to experience traditional Japanese worship culture while admiring its historic architecture.
Senso-ji features the famous “Kaminarimon” gate with its giant lantern, leading to the bustling “Nakamise Street” and the main hall, which enshrines the compassionate Kannon. Before the main hall, visitors can bathe in the smoke of the “Jokoro” incense burner for health and fortune, or try their luck with an omikuji fortune slip.
- Asakusa Shrine - Located just east of Senso-ji’s main hall, Asakusa Shrine honors the three individuals who contributed to the temple’s founding.
In contrast to the lively Senso-ji, the shrine offers a serene and solemn atmosphere, allowing visitors to enjoy the unique Japanese scenery where a temple and shrine stand side by side.
- Shin Nakamise Shopping Street - At Asakusa’s Shin Nakamise Street, enjoy shopping in the largest arcade shopping area in Asakusa.
The street is lined with gourmet spots such as traditional Japanese confectionery shops, sushi restaurants, and Western eateries, as well as fashion stores selling kimonos, Japanese goods, and Asakusa’s famous shoes and hats. It is a vibrant area where tourist souvenir shops and local stores coexist, allowing visitors to leisurely enjoy dining and shopping in a Showa retro atmosphere.
