Gojunoto – Five Story Pagoda – Sensoji Temple

Well, free is subjective! There are many ways to find tours and some are free, some are not even for the same attraction. If you go across the street of the museum at the Information Center, at 11 am, there is a free tour to this temple. It is one hour long. Be careful not to be distracted by the many shops on your way because you are given one complementary tour and the guide will disappear after so. You can always explore the shops after your guide leaves.Also I rated this as free but like I said, there are tours that charges.It is worth seeing with all so ancient history and a true representation of Japanese culture. The guide will tell you some "unwritten" culture and traditions such as, In Japan, it is impolite or improper to be eating while walking and he also told me how the buddhist pray. Explore this city and learn how they are so unique in their own way, how their culture is so admired and preserved.

Amazing architecture in this very active shrine which plays an active role in the lives of many Japanese. Arriving at 06:30am and visiting all of the buildings including the pagoda - it was the steady stream of Japanese that impressed me most. Their devotion and prayers and respect show at several of the smaller shrines in site is inspiring. I am here now as I type this and feel at peace. This is a top site to visit and must not be missed.

There a lot of souvenir shops before reaching the temple. We visited the temple early evening and there were a lot of people amazed by the temple including me and my hubby. One of the best temples we have visited so far especially with the night lights that added to the beauty of the temple. Definitely a place to visit when in Tokyo.
