“From Giant Lanterns to Tiny Dolls: A Soulful Stroll Through Asakusa

Tips:

1. Go Early or Late for Better Photos: Senso-ji Temple is breathtaking, but it gets crowded fast. Visit before 9 AM or just before sunset for fewer crowds and golden lighting.


2. Don’t Miss Nakamise Street: Just outside the temple, it’s perfect for souvenirs and traditional snacks like ningyo-yaki and melonpan.


3. Hunt for Kokeshi Dolls: Explore the side alleys and find these handcrafted wooden dolls—each one has a story and makes a thoughtful keepsake.


4. Dress in Kimono for Photos: Rent a kimono nearby for a full cultural immersion and get amazing shots under the temple gates!
