Senso-ji is an ancient Buddhist temple located in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan. It's Tokyo's oldest temple, and one of its most significant. This temple became independent after World War II. The thing that turn me down is this overcrowded environment, though. And in my own opinion, there's not much to see here so consider this place ONLY if you have an extra time. Better skip it if you have a tight itinerary. You can try to take the prophecy paper for just JPY 100. Fortunately, the prophecy here is available in english! Another thing you could do here is some window shopping in the street shop along the street. But I recommend not to buy anything from here, as the price is not as good as the shop in Kyoto or Osaka.

You can go up there to witness the 360 degrees of tokyo scenery. You can even see the Mountain Fuji from here. This tower could be reached either from Oshiage Station or Tokyo Skytree Station. There are two options of observation decks: Tokyo Skytree Tembo Deck (The First Observatory, 350m heights) and Tokyo Skytree Tembo Galleria (The Second Observatory, 450m heights). Pick anyone you want. You need to pay for additional fare to go to Tokyo Skytree Tembo Galleria, though. I recommend to enjoy the sunset from here (it really is a jaw-dropping scenery!) or enjoy the city lights at night. Because when you go here in the afternoon, it's not that good and it's hot! As a tourist there will be a special line and special price, just show your passport and you'll be eligible for this privilege. If you travel with your honey, make sure to have a dinner here in Musashi Sky Restaurant (RSVP only). The ambience of the city lights with a savory dinner is a one-time experience. The food is kinda pricey though, you need to spend about JPY 12000-18000 for dinner. If you want to pass the luxury, just grab some sea salt ice cream from the skytree cafe and enjoy this delish Ice Cream from 350m heights!

Tokyo skytree is another landmark and new icon replacing (?) the well-known tokyo tower. Because of its height, pick some place a little far away, for example this river near the senso-ji temple. This spot is not a walking distance from Tokyo Skytree, but if you chose the spot nearby, it won't hurt to stop by in Tokyo Skytree and see what's inside. On the ground floor you'll find the Skytree Shop, the mascots (just outside of the Skytree Shop), and some food stalls. This shop is the largest official Tokyo Skytree Shop. Inside you will find tokyo skytree-themed goods, sweets, fashion items etc. Time to grab a lite bite and snap some photos!
