The official name of Sensoji Temple comes from the Golden Dragon Mountain, and it is called "Golden Dragon Mountain Sensoji Temple", and the name "Golden Dragon Dance" comes from the name of this mountain. "Golden Dragon Dance" is a dance that started in 1958 to commemorate the reconstruction of the main hall of Sensoji Temple, Kannon Hall. This dance is based on the story of Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in Sensoji Temple. According to legend, she appeared as a golden dragon that descended from the sky, and overnight she created a thousand pine trees that symbolize a good harvest. 
The 18-meter-long, 88-kilogram shining golden dragon dances gorgeously to the music of the celebration, and this scene is absolutely impressive.

The Tokyo Ocean Disneyland project is so fun, especially the scenery in the newly opened Ice and Snow Park is beautiful, and the raw tea and tiramisu ice cream inside are so delicious. A day to play with the strong Disney elements.

If you&rsquo;re a Potterhead, The Making of Harry Potter Tokyo is an absolute must-visit! My son and I had such a magical time here &ndash; we&rsquo;re both huge fans, and this place did not disappoint.There are tons of original props, costumes, and beautifully detailed sets &ndash; it honestly felt like walking right into the Wizarding World. We easily spent 4 hours exploring everything, and it still felt like there was more to see!We chose the night ticket, and that was a smart move &ndash; it was less crowded (even on a Sunday!), and the tickets were cheaper too, which was a nice bonus. Highly recommend going in the evening if you want to enjoy the place without the rush.And oh &ndash; don&rsquo;t miss the Butterbeer! It was sooo good &ndash; sweet, creamy, and perfect after all that walking around.Overall, it was such a wonderful experience for both of us. If you&rsquo;re a Harry Potter fan (or raising one 😄), you&rsquo;ll love every second of it.10/10 would go again &ndash; with a wand next time!

Alway crowed as expected. No need to redeem ticket and go straight to the gate. Should not visit if you want good photo and hate the crowed. I can&rsquo;t get photo because the glass reflection , I took photo because I put my camera close to the window.
