Asakusa Temple in Tokyo
Take My AdviceβοΈ Asakusa Temple in Tokyo π° Muslim Quarter in Xi'an ο½ Hubu Alley in Wuhan ο½ Confucius Temple in Nanjing ππ #NewYearCityWalk #CrowdedEverywhere #TravelDuringSpringFestival #CrowdsEverywhere #TouristCrowds #PeopleEverywhere ππ Visiting Asakusa Temple is a must-do in Tokyo as it is the most famous and popular temple in the city! π The first impression is like a New Year temple fair, comparable to the Muslim Quarter in Xi'an, the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, and Hubu Alley in Wuhan. It's a narrow street filled with stalls selling fried snacks, ningyo-yaki (doll-shaped cakes), and bubble tea. However, it's on a much smaller scale. πΈπ’π΅ π²πΈ The temple has many rituals, including fortune-telling, drawing lots, and interpreting fortunes. There are indeed many people shaking the fortune sticks. πΏ A unique feature is the rickshaws at the entrance, with energetic young men and women offering rides. A ride costs 20,000 yen per round, and they even take photos for you, adding great emotional value. πΊ ππ The Tokyo Metro line takes you directly to the station right at the entrance of the scenic area, making it very convenient. π However, I don't recommend it for kids as there's not much to interest them. π²πΈ You might take a quick look and snap a photo within 5 minutes, but it's extremely crowded! The sheer number of people can be overwhelming and it's easy to worry about kids getting squished. Not recommended! βοΈ #SpringFestivalTravel #AvoidCrowds
