One of the must-see spots is Sensō-ji, Tokyo’s oldest temple, located in the Asakusa district. The temple is dedicated to the Buddhist goddess of mercy, Kannon, where people come from all over the place to seek blessings. Built in 645 AD, makes you feel like you are stepping back in time while still being in the middle of the modern city.
