Finally, visit Sensoji Temple, Asakusa’s most iconic landmark. Learn how to properly pray, experience the spiritual atmosphere of the incense burner, and explore the history of the temple’s gates and pagoda. You’ll also have time for omikuji (fortune slips) and cultural insights that bring Japan’s traditions to life.
Throughout the tour, your guide will help you find the best hidden photo spots and capture stylish, Instagram-worthy shots of both famous and off-the-beaten-path locations.
