Senso-ji Temple, Asakusa

Asakusa · walks · Free

I walk my kids through the Kaminarimon gate at dawn when we're in Asakusa. The incense, the vendors setting up, the monks moving through — that's the real thing.

Tokyo's most visited temple — and the one time I'll say ignore the tourist warnings. At 7am, before the crowds, it's one of the most atmospheric places in the city.
