The first place we'd like to introduce is Sensoji Temple in Asakusa. Asakusa is a place where you can experience Tokyo's past and see the most traditional side of the city. Sensoji is a Buddhist temple that was built in 628, but the current building was rebuilt after being destroyed in World War II. The red-colored Sensoji Temple is the perfect place to take the most traditional Japanese photos in Tokyo.
