    It's not just Sensoji Temple—the whole Asakusa area has that classic downtown vibe. The rickshaw pullers are a highlight, too. They're all super fit and energetic, and many of them are really funny!

    After passing through Kaminarimon, you'll find Nakamise Shopping Street, which still keeps its Edo-era vibe. I recommend trying Kagetsudo's melon bread and Kimuraya's ningyo-yaki—they're both really unique.

    It's so crowded that you can barely get in, and almost everyone there is a foreign tourist. It feels like it's lost the original downtown Tokyo atmosphere.

    Inside the main hall, they enshrine Kannon Bodhisattva. Unlike in Taiwan, here you buy incense sticks for 100 yen each. Outside Sensoji, there are rickshaw drivers who can give you a tour around Asakusa. It's really unique and a lot of fun.

    The incense here is always burning strong, and locals say it's really effective. These days, there are actually more foreign tourists than locals.

    Got up super early and headed to Sensoji Temple. I managed to take lots of photos before the shops opened and the crowds poured in, so I could avoid all the people in my shots.

    The oldest temple in Tokyo. Usually, it's packed with tourists, which can be a bit overwhelming. Still, it's a must-visit spot when you're in Tokyo.
