With just one ticket, you can

With just one ticket, you can travel the past and present in Tokyo in one day - this time we recommend the must-visit photo holy place "Sakusa Temple Raimon", not only feel the thousand-year-old Japanese culture, but also have many authentic delicacies in the surroundings for you to discover! Open all year round, morning or evening, it’s definitely the best starting point for your Tokyo itinerary without fear of missing out on any surprises (laughs).

Tokyo's "Sakusaji Remon" is a must-visit attraction, the atmosphere is lively enough! Every time I walk to Remon, I feel the unchanging charm of Japanese traditional culture, looking at the big red lanterns and the crowds at the door. Entering the walk from Reimon is the main hall of Sensoji Temple, filled with cigarette smoke. Next to it, the Nakamise-dori Shopping Street sells all kinds of Japanese confectionery and snacks, which is very characteristic of Edo. It is super satisfying to eat and buy all-in-one.

Many friends ask, what are the must-eat recommendations near Remon? In fact, along the pedestrian street, matcha ice cream, fried figurines, Asakusa curry buns, and octopus rolls are popular queue delicacies. My top recommendation is the “Asakusa Minachi” fried meatloaf, which is crispy and juicy and can be found directly after following the crowd (2-3-3 Asakusa, Taito, Tokyo, 9:00-18:00). There are also coffee shops, Japanese desserts, and small izakayas in the inner streets. You might as well enjoy them while walking without worrying about starving.

Speaking of travel tips:
1. Less crowded around 8-9 am, suitable for slow strolling and photography; more tourists after 2 pm, it is recommended to avoid peak hours.
2. Sensoji Temple is open year-round, whether you go at noon or evening, but most of the shops in Sekai Street are closed around 18:00-19:00, so take advantage of the time to sweep the streets crazy!
3. There are many pharmacies and convenience stores near the scenic spot, which is very convenient to buy travel supplies temporarily.

Transportation is extremely easy to reach, take the Tokyo Metro Asakusa Line, Ginza Line, Toei Subway to "Asakusa Station" exit the station, two minutes walk to see the huge red lantern of Remon. If you depart from Narita Airport, it is also very convenient to take the Keisei Electric Railway directly to Asakusa.

Finally, if you don’t want to leave so early after visiting Sensoji Temple, you can take a walk along the Sumida River to enjoy the sunset view of the Skytree, and eat a bowl of authentic soba noodles.
