[Tokyo Sightseeing] Enjoy Sensoji Temple and Kaminarimon! 🎐✨

When you think of Asakusa, you think of Kaminarimon Gate! You can't help but snap a photo of that giant red lantern! 📸 Once you pass through Kaminarimon Gate, you'll find Nakamise-dori Street, lined with souvenirs and traditional sweets! Enjoy a bit of food while you stroll around. 1. Kaminarimon's Giant Lantern: This 3.9-meter-tall lantern is the symbol of Kaminarimon. The dragon carving on the bottom of the lantern makes it another photogenic spot. 📷 2. Nakamise-dori: This street leads to Sensoji Temple, lined with approximately 90 shops. This historic shopping street, dating back to the Edo period, allows you to enjoy shopping while immersing yourself in the Edo-period atmosphere. ♪ 3. Sensoji Temple's Main Hall: Pray and make a sincere wish. 🙏 Fortune slips are also popular, and if you get a "bad luck" (unlucky) fortune, tie it up and pray for better luck. 4. Five-Story Pagoda: A beautiful tower, approximately 53 meters tall. It's a sight not only to behold during the day, but also spectacular at night when lit up. ✨ 5. Lightning Protection Amulet: This amulet can only be purchased at Kaminarimon Gate. It's said to protect against lightning, so be sure to pick one up as a keepsake. ⚡ If you've been there, or have other recommendations, please leave a comment! 📝!
