Senso-ji is an ancient Buddhist temple located in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan. It is Tokyo's oldest temple and one of its most significant. Formerly associated with the Tendai sect of Buddhism, it became independent after World War II. Adjacent to the temple is a Shinto shrine, the Asakusa Shrine.

Sensoji (浅草寺, Sensōji, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple) is a Buddhist temple located in Asakusa. It is one of Tokyo 's most colorful and popular temples.

Sensoji is perhaps the most famous and photographed of Tokyo's temples. It is the oldest Buddhist temple in the capital, and the five-story pagoda, trails of incense and vast eaves will take you back to a Tokyo of time gone by.

The present structure dates from 1958. Sensō-ji is always busy, particularly on weekends; consider visiting in the evening to see it with fewer people and the buildings beautifully illuminated. The main entrance to the temple complex is via the fantastic, red Kaminari-mon and busy shopping street Nakamise-dōri.

Sensō-ji traces its origin as far back as 628 AD. It is said that in the early months of that year, two brothers were out fishing when they found a Buddhist statue at what is now known as the Sumida River. They brought it to a local landowner who identified the image as a Kannon - Bodhisattva of Compassion.

Senso-ji is Tokyo’s oldest and most important Buddhist temple. It’s a requisite stop on any Japan itinerary, especially if you don’t plan on visiting a temple-heavy destination like Kyoto. The origin story of Senso-ji heavily involves Kannon, Buddhist goddess of compassion.

Senso-ji Temple is open: Sun - Sat 6:30 AM - 5:00 PM. Buy tickets in advance on Tripadvisor. If you book with Tripadvisor, you can cancel at least 24 hours before the start date of your tour for a full refund.
