Asakusa Senso-Ji temple by Night

We’ve covered Asakusa Senso-ji temple (also known as Asakusa Kannon temple) extensively in the past by day. Today, however, we wanted to give you the chance to enjoy this gorgeous temple like very few people are used to seeing it, at night! While the temple’s main hall and other facilities are closed to the public after working hours, the temple ground is accessible 24/7. The grounds get a special treatment up to 11 p.m. with tailored lightning that, in our opinion, turn the whole area into a gorgeous mystical painting.

So if you are planning to visit Tokyo and stop to see Asakusa Senso-Ji, we would highly recommend you to wait until 9 p.m. to check this temple out, you will not only see the temple in its most beautiful setting, but you will also avoid the insane crowd that fill-up the place by day.
