From the moment you step onto the approach to Kasugataisha Shrine, you're surrounded by lush forest and weathered stone lanterns. At the end of the path, the vermilion corridor appears. If it weren’t for all the tourists around, it would almost feel like traveling back in time!
Following the visitor route, we came to Fujinami-no-ya. It’s a small, completely dark space lit by the glow of countless lanterns. I can only imagine how much more spectacular it must be during the Mantoro festival.

If you're visiting Tokyo, I highly recommend staying in Asakusa. You can appreciate a different side of Sensoji Temple there.
In the early morning, before the tourists arrive, you can visit and pray at a relaxed pace. At night, after the crowds have gone, it's completely different from the daytime bustle. Sensoji Temple has a quiet, wabi-sabi kind of beauty in the evening. -

This place is great for browsing, especially with the restaurant in B1. It’s different from the Cafe&Meal locations we have in Taiwan.
At the MUJI diner in Ginza, dinner is served as a set meal, with dishes that are both healthy and delicious. Next time you’re in Ginza, definitely consider stopping by MUJI diner for dinner! -

When you visit Shibamata, besides strolling the old street, you should definitely stop by Shibamata Taishakuten too.
Passing through the Nitenmon Gate feels like stepping back in time. One of the reasons I love visiting temples in Japan is for these quiet, peaceful moments. Whether you join in the traditional prayer rituals or simply take in the atmosphere, it’s all wonderful. -
