Beautiful... Great place to enjoy cherry blossoms in Tokyo!

🌸 Sensoji Temple is located in Asakusa 2-chome, Taito District, Tokyo. As the oldest temple in Tokyo, it is full of historical charm. When the cherry blossom season comes, this place is even more beautiful. The ancient temple and the cherry blossoms complement each other, like a natural ink painting, which has both the simplicity of time and the liveliness of blooming cherry blossoms. 🕘Opening hours Sensoji Temple is open all year round, and the opening hours are generally 6:00-17:00. It is recommended that you go early in the morning to avoid the peak crowds and enjoy the flowers in the soft morning light and feel the quiet beauty. It takes about 2-3 hours to fully appreciate the charm of this place, but if you want to take your time taking photos and checking in, a whole day is not too much~ 💴Ticket Prices Visiting the main hall of Sensoji Temple is free🆓. However, if you want to enter some special exhibition areas, a certain fee may be charged, but the prices are relatively affordable, generally around 500-1000 yen, and there has been no price change recently. ⛺Activities Cherry Blossom Viewing Walk: Walking along the temple's main approach, you will see cherry blossom trees on both sides of the road. When the wind blows, the petals flutter down, as if it were snowing pink❄️. Take photos here and every frame can be used as a wallpaper. Drawing lots and praying for blessings: Drawing lots is a very unique activity in Sensoji Temple. Spend 100 yen to shake out a lot and check your fortune. If you draw a good lot, you can take it away. If it is a bad lot, it will be tied to the rack next to it, which means leaving the bad luck behind. 🚌Transportation Tips Subway: You can take the Ginza Line or Hibiya Line to Asakusa Station, take Exit A4, and walk to Sensoji Temple in a few minutes. 👉Itinerary There are many fun places around. After visiting Sensō-ji Temple, you can go to the nearby Ueno Park, which is also a great place to enjoy cherry blossoms, and there are also many museums to visit. You can also stop by Tokyo Skytree to get a bird's eye view of Tokyo. As for accommodation, it is recommended to stay in a hotel or B&B near Asakusa, which is convenient for travel and you can also experience the night view of Asakusa at night. 🧡Preparation before the trip 1. Be sure to bring a beautiful camera 📷 or a mobile phone with powerful camera function, after all, this place is so photogenic. 2. Wear comfortable shoes because you will need to walk a lot around Sensō-ji Temple. 3. You can prepare some cash for buying snacks, drawing fortune sticks, etc. Although some places also accept credit cards or mobile payments, it is safer to have some cash. 💕Hurry up and add the Sakura of Sensō-ji Temple to your travel list and go for a romantic date in spring!
