4 station names

From either station, it is within 5 minutes by foot from Asakusa Kaminarimon to Asakusa Kaminarimon.
“Ginza Line” Asakusa Station
Asakusa Station on the Ginza Line operated by Tokyo Metro is located on the east side of Asakusa.Exit 1 is the closest exit to Kaminarimon.
The Tokyo Metro “Ginza Line” extends from Shibuya to Asakusa, so Asakusa and Shibuya can also be visited on the same day .After seeing the famous scramble intersection in Shibuya, it is very convenient to go directly to Asakusa.
Also, you need to transfer, but it is also connected to JR Ueno Station, so it is convenient for Shinkansen and yamanote line users.”Ginza Line” Asakusa Station is connected to the basement by “Toei Asakusa Line.”.
(Toei Asakusa Line) Asakusa Station
Toei Asakusa Line Asakusa Station is located southeast of Asakusa, and is connected by “Ginza Line” Asakusa Station and underground passage.It is better to use A4 exit to go to Kaminarimon.”Toei Asakusa Line” extends from Oshiage Station near Tokyo Sky Tree, so it’s convenient for sightseeing in Skytree.
There is a similar station name called Asakusabashi in front of 2 stations, but if you get off at Asakusa, be careful not to make a mistake.

Tobu Line is also called Tobu Isesaki Line or Tobu Skytree Line, and it’s extended from Tokyo Skytree Station, so it’s convenient for sightseeing in Skytree like “Toei Asakusa Line.”.(The nearest station from Skytree is different, so you need to be careful.) The fare from Skytree to Asakusa is 150 yen.
④ “Tsukuba Express” Asakusa Station
Unlike other 3 stations, this “Tsukuba Express” Asakusa station is located on the west side of Asakusa.The nearest exit to Kaminarimon is “Kokusai Dori A”.To Akihabara, which is famous as a subculture of Japan, there are 2 stations on the Tsukuba Express.It is very convenient for those who want to visit Akihabara.

Asakusa, Senso-ji Temple!Recommended Sightseeing Route
There are various attractions, not only the main hall, but also the main hall, which is a sightseeing spot representing Asakusa, “Senso-ji temple” .We have proposed a recommended route to watch it as efficiently as possible in a limited time.
There are hidden spots that are not on the guide map, so you can enjoy it for the first time in Sensoji sightseeing.
Kaminarimon
While being protected by wind god Thunder God who controls rain wind, Senso-ji Temple is crowded with many tourists today.
Nakamise Street
This Nakamise Street, the approach to Sensoji, is called one of the oldest shopping streets in Japan .This shopping street lined with red color building is a scenery unique to Nakamise Street.Besides the standard sweets such as Ningyo Yaki, there are many Japanese souvenirs such as Sensu, Zori, Kimono and Japanese souvenirs.
There is a tea house where you can get Japanese sweets, so it’s good to fill your stomach lightly before you visit Sensoji Temple.It is always crowded with people, so be careful not to keep your eyes away from valuables.
Nio-mon Gate
When you exit the Nakamise Street, your Wang Men will appear.There is a statue of Nio on both sides of the gate, so it’s called “statue of Nio,” but the official name is “Hozomon”.The origin of the name is that the treasure of the temple is preserved.
The gate that is overwhelmingly larger than the Kaminarimon Gate is Nio-mon Gate. Height exceeds 21 m , so you will be able to experience it when you go closer to it.
Most
There is an image of golden Buddha just next to Asakusa Fudoson, the left hand side of Niomon gate that I just introduced.The name is “ABCD” .There is a legend that it fixes the bad part of the body, so there is evidence that many people were stroked by a lot of people.
If you have some trouble with your body, try to stroke the part of the same image as that part of your body.
Main Hall
After passing Asakusa Fudoson, you will finally go to the main hall of Sensoji Temple.It is said that incense is burned in front of the main hall, and if it is covered with smoke, it will fix the bad part of the body.
If you go up the stairs to the main hall, you can see the palace where the principal image, Saint Kanzeonbosatsu, is enshrined.
If you want to draw a fortune at Sensoji Temple, you can also draw it at the kiosk next to this main hall.Why don’t you think of the fortune of this year at Sensoji Temple?
Amida Nyorai Statue
On the left side of the main hall is Amida Nyorai statue, which is more than 7 m in length.It was built in 1693 and was designated as a cultural property of Daikan ward.
Shadow Hall
If you cross Ishibashi near Amitabha Tathagata statue, there is a shadow hall.It is a place where you can worship the principal image of the 12 oriental zodiac, which protects the Kannon that is enshrined in the main hall.
If you listen to 12 signs, you will be familiar to Japanese and Chinese people.It might be interesting to look for the same 12 divination principal image as your Oriental zodiac.
Yakushido
Yakushido is a Yakushi-do Temple where Yakushi Nyorai is enshrined, which is said to cure the disease.Since it is near Ishibashi, it is said that it was named “Hashimoto Yakushido” by Iemitsu Tokugawa in the Edo period.
Light Island
Located on the west side of Senso-ji Temple grounds, it is a light island that Enshrines Myojima Akijin, a woman god.It is said that she became a god in order to protect women suffering from gynecopathy especially.
I think it is a must-visit spot for women.
Five Story Pagoda
This is a five story pagoda standing in one Saime in the precinct of Sensoji Temple.A limited number of people can enter a limited number of people in a year, but basically they cannot worship the inside of a general tourist, although only 3 times a year.
But the five storied pagoda in the night is lit up, so it looks very beautiful, so why don’t you take a picture of it?
Denpo-in
When you get inside, you can enjoy a beautiful garden, and you can enjoy walking around.On the water surface of Oike Izumi, which is located in the garden, the five storied pagoda is projected, so it is very fantastic.
In fact, only a few years ago, you can get into this Denpo-in, only the limited general public period , 1 times a year.It is open to the public from mid March to mid-May every year, so if the timing is correct, it will be a must-visit spot.
Benten-do
If you go from five storied pagoda to the front of the main hall and go to the east side of the precinct, there is a small hill called Mount Benten, and there is a god named Benzaiten on the hill.
It is said that it has a merit for performing arts and entertainment, and it is one of the 3 major Benten of Kanto.Asakusa geisha is a hidden famous spot to visit often.
There are lots of spots where you can fulfill your wishes at Senso-ji Temple
There are many spots where you can pray for health and performing arts, such as Yakushido, Yuasendo, Benten-do, and so on, not only famous places such as Kaminarimon and Nakamise Street, but also Yakushido Hall and Yuasendo Hall.I recommend you to visit all these spots just by visiting the sightseeing route you introduced this time.
It is fun to find my favorite spot in Asakusa Terauchi.
