Fantastic photos! I live on the west side of Tokyo which makes getting to Sensoji early in the morning problematic. But I think I might have to make the effort and go there. It looks so beautiful in the morning light.

How many places we have seen getting at their best on either Sunrise/Sunset. Desert view, beach view etc. However, this Sensoji temple in Tokyo seems to be some place to visit. Keep sharing such offbeat once.

Nice website and lovely pictures!
An an extra tip for the area, the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center allows a nice view of the Sensoji temple and the Nakamise Shopping Street from its terrace in the last floor. It might not have enough space to setup a tripod but still well worth a (free) visit.

Keep the good work!

This is one of my favorite places in the world and your pictures are just stunning. The last time we were in Tokyo we stayed right near the temple and woke up stupid early our first morning due to jet lag and ran right over. While we didn’t see the sunrise, it was absolutely incredible to be there without all the other tourists – instead with locals making their way to work. So lovely!

In reply to Shivani. Glad I'm not alone in my lack of morning energy haha. It was so worth it though :)

In reply to Cat. Thanks Cat! How fun, where are you thinking of visiting next year? Japan is one country I recommend everyone to experience at least once, it's crazy beautiful!

Ok, you’ve convinced me to get up early 😀 I am – like you – not a morning person,but agree with you that sunrise = amazing pictures!! I wasn’t aware Sensoji is the oldest temple in Japan. Well, guess now I have two reasons to visit the temple 🙂

Your photos are absolutely glorious. I’m hopefully visiting Japan next year, this post made me even more excited 🙂
