Sensoji is one of the few places in Tokyo where you can still really feel that classic Japanese vibe.
As soon as you walk through Kaminarimon, the scent of incense and the sound of the crowds make it feel like time slows down.
You’ll see lots of girls in kimono taking photos—it looks beautiful and the atmosphere is great.
Whether it’s morning or night, Sensoji is a spot where you can just stroll around and soak it all in quietly.
The vibe here feels just like walking through a small alley from Japan's Showa era—so much character! There aren't a ton of shops, but each one is pretty unique.
The set ticket is cheaper than buying everything separately, and soaking in the hot spring after hiking is such a great deal! Just keep in mind it gets really crowded on weekends, especially during the fall foliage season, so you might have to wait to get in.
