Sensō-ji
You can take a variety of photos with traditional Japanese architecture as your backdrop
✓You can take photos in typical Japanese architecture.
✓There are many sights to see, so you can take lots of photos in a short amount of time.
✓You can experience unique temple experiences such as fortune telling and bathing in the smoke from an incense burner.
There are several temple buildings within a 10-minute walk, so you can take lots of photos without having to move around much.
Kaminarimon
The most famous landmark in Asakusa
✓A classic photo spot in Asakusa
✓Pass through the gate and walk for 10 minutes to Sensoji Temple.
✓On the way to Sensoji Temple, there are Japanese souvenir shops and food shops lined up on both sides.
It gets very crowded, so I recommend going at least by 8am. Outside of that time, the crowds are so big that you can’t move your camera back to take a full-body shot.
Senso-ji Hozomon Gate
3-minute walk from Sensoji Temple
✓It’s close to Sensoji Temple, so it’s definitely a spot you’ll want to stop by.
✓You can see the Skytree from the east side of the gate.
✓This gate is over 20m wide and you can take beautiful photos from any direction.
Asakusa is Tokyo’s most famous tourist spot. It’s the best place to see traditional Japanese architecture. Recently, there are many kimono rental shops, so many customers rent a kimono from a rental shop and take photos. In that case, please plan to meet the photographer after changing into the kimono and take the photos. Also, since it is difficult to walk in a kimono and sandals, I will prepare so that you can go around the Asakusa area efficiently. If you let us know your wishes, we can tell you the order in which to visit many shooting locations in a short amount of time, and ways to avoid walking, so please feel free to consult me.
Sensō-ji Five-Storied Pagoda
Next to Senso-ji Hozomon Gate
✓Located next to Sensoji Temple and Hozomon Gate.
✓Taking advantage of the height of over 50m above ground, you can take photos that give a sense of traditional Japan.
✓It is lit up every day from sunset to 11pm.
In Tokyo, modern buildings often stand side by side with traditional architecture, but the direction of the five-story pagoda is reassuring because there are fewer modern elements. I recommend this photo because it can be composed entirely of traditional architecture.
