Sensō-ji attraction highlights
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
One of Tokyo’s oldest and most significant Buddhist temples, Sensō-ji is located in the city’s Asakusa District. Dedicated to the Bodhisattva of compassion, the first temple was founded as far back as 645 CE. Destroyed during World War II, Sensō-ji was eventually rebuilt and stands now as a symbol of rebirth and peace. Many small shops line the main street approaching the temple. It is a popular area for tourists and among the more well-known parts of Tokyo. Each spring a grand festival is held in and around Sensō-ji. Over the course of a few days upwards of 2 million people visit the temple complex.

Other visitors' reviews of Sensō-ji
Show More ReviewsSenso-ji Temple, I realized the last time I was here was in 2017. I definitely had to come back to Tokyo this time. I burned incense, prayed to Buddha, and drew a fortune stick. I drew a "lucky" one. While I was saying that everyone who draws a lucky or very lucky fortune stick at Senso-ji, I glanced at the Japanese girl next to me and drew an unlucky one.
