Tokyo / Asakusa

2 Chome-3-1 Asakusa, Taito City, Tokyo 111-0032, Japan

The oldest Buddhist temple in Tokyo.

You can walk past the Kaminarimon gate, through Nakamise-dōri and at the end of the street you'll see the large temple. The temple grounds are open 24 hours a day. In the evenings the temple is illuminated making for a mystical ambiance.
