What We Loved

The process of cleansing, praying, fortune telling and being the in vicinity of the temple is very nice.

Things good to know in advance

Go as early as you can on weekdays, and take a stroll in the evening too which is nice and more peaceful.

Join the SANJA MATSURI Festival in Asakusa

The SANJA MATSURI festival is one of the three major Edo festivals. (It is held on May 17-19, 2024)
Based on Sensoji Temple, many portable shrines are held on the surrounding routes.
It's only an opportunity once a year, so you should definitely participate during the deadline.
Participation in portable shrines from various regions is held, and you can see portable shrines on any road near Asakusa. There was also a portable shrine where children could participate, and even children of tourists could enter from the middle. I think I could enjoy going there with my family. The Sensoji Temple area was more lively than the summer festival, and there were more big stalls. Near the stalls, there was a place where portable shrines for portable shrines were parked so you could see scenery that you couldn't experience at ordinary festivals.
